DSI to decide whether to investigate fatal Mountain B pub fire itself

[snoop1130]

 

Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation is considering whether to treat the deadly Mountain B pub fire as a special case, meaning it would be investigated by the DSI.

 

DSI Director-General Triyarith Temahivong said today (Wednesday) that several relatives of the fire’s victims had asked the DSI to take over the investigation from local police in Sattahip district in Chon Buri province.

 

He explained that, for a crime to be treated as a special case to be investigated by the DSI, it must be proven that someone with influence has interfered with the case or investigation in a way which could complicate or compromise the investigation by local police.

As opposed to someone of influence interfering with the DSI is another scenario perhaps .

Well they might need to get a move on as I suspect a lot of the remnants and indeed evidence are on the move already.

No other response could have been expected.

So if 22  innocent lives do not make a " special Investigation " what does ?

Disgraceful.

Are the DSI the ones who have shown their efficiency with the impressive handling of the Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya case?

The local police knew this illegal bar was operating... does that not count for anything?
