Thai prosecutors on Thursday indicted 23 suspects including a
construction tycoon and a Chinese state-owned firm for violations that
led to the collapse of a building during a powerful earthquake, killing
nearly a hundred workers.
The partially built 30-story State Audit Office tower in Bangkok was
the only building to collapse from tremors emanating from the powerful
in neighboring Myanmar on March 28. At least 95 people were killed in
the incident.
The construction of the State Audit Office building was a joint venture
between Italian-Thai Development, one of Thailand’s largest
construction companies, and China Railway Number 10 (Thailand) Ltd, a
local unit of China’s state-owned China Railway Group.
Premchai Karnasuta, president of Italian-Thai and an executive of China
Railway Number 10 (Thailand) Ltd, was formally charged along with 21
other suspects for breaching construction regulations and causing death
through negligence, said Sakkasem Nisaiyok, a spokesman for the Office
of the Attorney General, in a statement on Thursday.
Some other suspects have also been charged with forging engineering
documents, the statement said.
Italian-Thai Development did not immediately respond to Reuters’
request for comment.
Lawyers for other parties involved in the case, including China Railway
Number 10 (Thailand) Ltd, could not be reached for comment.
Premchai along with 14 others denied all charges against them when they
were by police in May over the building collapse.
