Thirteen representatives of the injured and dead from the Mountain B pub fire in Thailand’s Chon Buri lodged a complaint with the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) police today (Monday), in an effort to get them to take over the investigation from the local police, saying that they do not trust local officials.

 

The group has sought help from activist lawyer Ronnarong Kaewpetch, who has gained fame for his campaigning for justice for underdogs and the underprivileged.

 

Ronnarong told the media today that he is submitting some evidence about the deadly fire to the CSD today and will convey the concerns of the relatives of the dead and injured regarding the local police to the CSD.

it don't matter who investigates. 

Sure bet the 'real' owner has been transferring assets and money like crazy before they actually get off their butts to arrest him

Exactly they are all corrupt and incompetent.

This is going to be a long drawn-out process.  I agree that the federal police should be investigating the issue right now is that the local cops have had so much time to CYA.  I would also suggest that the investigation all include the Fire department, government inspectors and licence sections that supposedly do the inspections.

 

This might actually be a good one to hand over to BIG JOKE.

Give him cart Blanche to do as he needs and lay the charges as he seems them.

They need someone in charge that the Thai people trust and he is probably the most trusted at this point in time

Good, local police allowed this venue to operate knowing that it was illegally operating.

They took the monthly rent and turned a blind-eye to the illegalities.

The owners and police were complicit in this tragedy and any real investigation cannot be done by the local police force.

Really... the local police allowed this place to operate... let them do the investigation?
