Paiwong yet to submit Bonanza evidence
Police are still waiting for former politician Paiwong Taechanarong and his daughter to submit evidence before concluding their investigation into Bonanza International Speedway's alleged encroachment on forest and agrarian-reform land in Nakhon Ratchasim
“They say they will bring documents to investigators by May 22,” Pol Maj General Tanet Sunthornsuk, deputy commissioner of Provincial Police Region 3, said yesterday.
The Taechanarongs run many businesses under the Bonanza name.
One of Paiwong’s sons is the top executive of Bonanza International Speedway.
“They say Paiwong is now overseas and his daughter is preparing the documents,” Tanet said.
If the family fails to meet the deadline, investigators will finish their case report and submit it to public prosecutors before the end of this month, he said.
A forestry official said there was still nothing to show after Bonanza International Speedway was ordered to demolish structures on 106 rai of forestland.
“We may have to ask the director-general of the Royal Forest Department what measures to take next,” said Surawut Jaikijsuwan from the Forest Resource Management Office 8.
