Thai Supreme Court jails tycoon over wildlife poaching (update)

BANGKOK (AFP): A Thai tycoon accused of poaching wildlife in a national park lost his final appeal Wednesday (Dec 8), in a long-running saga that drew public outrage over the elite's perceived impunity.

Construction magnate Premchai Karnasuta (pic) was arrested in February 2018 when park officials found guns, animal carcasses -- including of a kalij pheasant and a red muntjac -- and the pelt of a black leopard at his campsite.
