Bangkok: The Court of Justice has confirmed that there are no illegal workers at the construction sites of the Min Buri Civil Court and Min Buri Criminal Court, following information that surfaced on social media. The Court emphasized its commitment to strict inspection of the construction and is prepared to address any reports of wrongdoing.
According to Thai News Agency, concerns were raised on social media about a significant number of Chinese workers allegedly using student visas to work illegally at the Min Buri court construction sites. However, the Office of the Judiciary has conducted a thorough review and confirmed that the foreign workers involved in the project are exclusively from Myanmar and Cambodia, with no presence of Chinese or illegal foreign workers.
The report also noted that an inspection by the Immigration Police took place around 3:00 p.m. on the same day, which found no illegal foreign workers at the construction sites. The project management team comprises 25 individuals, including three Chinese nationals serving as project managers, procurement officers, and procurement assistants. The remaining personnel are all Thai nationals.
The Office of the Judiciary has reiterated its stance against illegal activities and emphasized its responsibility in supervising and inspecting construction operations to ensure compliance with legal standards. The Office encourages anyone with information about illegal foreign workers at any Court of Justice construction sites to report it so that appropriate legal action can be pursued against those involved.
