The Department of Special Investigation ( DSI) will interrogate 40 engineers involved in the construction of the collapsed State Audit Office ( SAO ) building on Tuesday.
The investigation is part of a probe into the immoral use of contenders in the firm that won the contract to develop the predestined building, as well as the alleged pay tampering in the job.
The sensor began last quarter, when DSI authorities seized bundles of files stored in 24 storage tanks that were used as temporary headquarters at the construction site in Chatuchak area.
According to DSI assistant director-general, Pol Capt Surawut Rangsai, authorities are focusing on papers which contain plans of the tower, details of the tasks that were handled by China Railway No. 10 ( Thailand ) Co ( CREC ) and its subcontractors, as well as the procurement of materials used in the project.
In full, 40 professionals may be summoned for doubting, said Pol Capt Surawut.
Researchers aim to complete questioning the technicians in four days, but that will focus on their assistance, he said.
DSI official Pol Maj Woranan Srilam said while the research on the use of nominees in CRECT is almost perfect, regulators have yet to make any headways in their research into the bid hacking argument.
Pol Capt Surawut said he was confident that documents thought to be crucial to the investigation had not been lost, despite reports of Chinese workers smuggling a bunch of documents out of the site shortly after the March 28 earthquake.
Those documents are now in the authorities ‘ hands, as the workers who were seen taking the documents out were immediately taken into police custody, he said.
The documents will be examined by experts from the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning to ensure quicker progress, he said.
Meanwhile, the mission to recover bodies still trapped under the rubble continued on Monday.
According to Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt, as of Sunday evening, rescue workers, aided by heavy machinery, have recovered 63 bodies, while 31 are still unaccounted for.
