Report Bangkok Building Collapse: 17 Arrests Sought After Deadly Disaster
File photo for reference only Police in Bangkok are poised to issue arrest warrants for 17 individuals connected to the catastrophic collapse of the State Audit Office (SAO) building. The March 28 disaster occurred following an earthquake centred in Myanmar and claimed numerous lives. Those being targeted include engineers, project supervisors, and executives from the construction contractor. The Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB) spearheaded the extensive investigation, assembling a wealth of evidence. This includes expert insights from the Council of Engineers, the Engineering Institute of Thailand, and Chulalongkorn University, alongside tests on over 300 construction samples. Investigators are targeting individuals from the Italian-Thai Development and China Railway No.10 Engineering Group Co joint venture, as well as construction supervisors and engineers. These suspects may face charges of failing to uphold engineering standards, resulting in fatalities, under Sections 227 and 238 of the Criminal Code. Auditor-General Montien Charoenphol has expressed no personal concerns over these proceedings despite the legal and ethical challenges his office faces. He did, however, commit to full cooperation with ongoing investigations. Mr Montien addressed rumours about the SAO's response to bereaved families, asserting that officials have approached each affected family to express their condolences. The SAO continues to be criticised for inadequate communication and support following the tragedy. The building, located in Chatuchak district and under construction, was the sole high-rise to collapse during the earthquake. At the time of the quake, 109 workers were present; 89 bodies have since been recovered, with seven still missing. Nine individuals sustained injuries, while four workers absent on the day the disaster struck have since returned home safely. Ultimately, the tragedy underscores the need for adherence to strict engineering and construction standards to prevent such occurrences. As the legal process unfolds, the involved parties may face significant legal repercussions amid continued public scrutiny. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-05-14 -
