THAILAND : -- The officials launched lighting raids at 20 spots in five northeastern provinces of Ubon Ratchathani, Mukdahan, Kalasin, Amnat Charoen and Si Sa Ket.
In Ubon Ratchathani on the Lao border, Pol Col Seehanat Prayoonrat, AMLO secretary-general, and other officials raided seven tents owned by Somchai Chantalak which are selling cars.
The officials later expropriated cars at the tents.
The searches were made following a recent arrest of a Siamese rosewood smuggler using cars from these tents in smuggling the valuable wood to the Pao PDR, police said.
Col Sihanat and other Thai personnel later travelled to Mukdahan province and expropriate assets of several suspected Siamese rosewood smugglers.
Illegal falling of forest trees, especially Siamese rosewood, is critical in Thailand and strictly illegal.
Thai Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) personnel along with army and police personnel early friday expropriated the assets of suspected Siamese rosewood smugglers to Thailand’s neighbouring countries.
