"Italian-Thai"

A worker’s camp in Bangkok’s northern district of Laksi has been closed by authorities after 196 residents there tested positive for Covid-19.

Prosecutors would submit a request to see the details of the ruling on the black leopard poaching case involving construction tycoon Premchai Karnnasuta of Italian-Thai Development Plc.

THREE MONTHS after Italian-Thai Construction president Premchai Karnasuta was arrested in a wildlife sanctuary where the butchered fresh meat of an endangered black leopard was found, public prosecutors have resolved to lay six charges against him.

Police say court order does not ban overseas.

Fans of the Facebook page “A Call for Animal Rights Thailand” hold an event with artists painting graffiti depicting a black leopard on a shop wall on Phetchburi Road on Thursday.

IT WAS the defiance and stubbornness shown by Italian-Thai Development president Premchai Karnasuta and his companions that aroused the suspicion of Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary’s officials, leading to the group’s high-profile arrest.

The arrest of construction tycoon Premchai Karnasuta will not affect major government infrastructure projects, Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak said on Wednesday.

HIGH-FLYING Premchai Karnasuta, president of Italian-Thai Development plc (ITD), is one of Thailand’s most powerful businessmen after three decades of heading the construction giant, operating both in the Kingdom and across the Asean region.
