Princess Ubolratana has given her moral support to the authorities investigating the alleged poaching by the Italian-Thai Development (ITD) president. Deputy Kanchanaburi police chief, Phunsak Prasoet, who is leading the investigation team, vowed yesterday he will not be swayed by the position of Mr Premchai. Pol Col Phunsak expects Mr Premchai and the other three suspects will be summoned for further questioning this week. Meanwhile, the Immigration Bureau is tightening inspections at Thai-Myanmar border checkpoints for fear Mr Premchai may flee overland. Kanchanaburi immigration chief Pol Col Prasat Khemaprasit said if immigration police found Mr Premchai attempting to cross the border they would hold him.
