Bangkok: Manas, one of the Thai suspects in the nominee case of the State Audit Office building collapse, has surrendered to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI).
According to Thai News Agency, Suravut Rangsai, the deputy director-general of the DSI, announced that Mr. Manas, one of the three Thai nationals with arrest warrants in the nominee case involving the collapse, has voluntarily presented himself to DSI investigators. This occurred at the Security Crime Division within the Government Complex, where he was informed of the charges against him and his rights as an accused individual. Investigators are now set to question Mr. Manas regarding his involvement in the case.
The nominee case has seen DSI investigators seek arrest warrants for four individuals, three of whom are Thai nationals, and one is Chinese. The Chinese suspect, Mr. Chuanling Zhang, a board member of China Railway Company, was detained earlier in the day. Besides Mr. Manas, the remaining two Thai suspects, Mr. Prachuap and Mr. Sophon, are currently being tracked down. Investigations have revealed that the three Thai suspects do not possess the requisite business acumen or professional expertise related to the case.
