14 different people, including Premchai Karnasuta, the president of Italian-Thai Development Plc ( ITD), reported to the police on Friday over criminal charges stemming from the decline of Bangkok’s State Auditing Office building, which left 92 people dead.
The 71-year-old building mogul was in a chair at Bang Sue police station to combat costs of professional carelessness causing death.
The ITD executive vice president, Kriengsak Kovadhana, and architect Pimol Charoengying, who certified the original design, were also among the people who turned themselves in.
They were one of 17 people wanted on suspicion of allegedly playing a role in the 30-storey building’s dangerous collapse on March 28. After investigators discovered that the tower’s style lacked safety standards and even contained poor materials, warrants were issued.
Nine people are also missing, and 92 have been killed in the dangerous decline, which was caused by an earthquake in northern Myanmar.
Noppasin Poonsawat, lieutenant director of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, said “expert assessments revealed that the structural design did not comply with governmental regulations or fulfill the professional standards outlined in the terms of reference.”
According to Pol Maj Gen Noppasin, there were also abnormalities in the construction materials used, including poor cement and steel, and forged signatures were also discovered.
He claimed that two more defendants did report to authorities on Monday and that the 15 defendants have been taken to court for pre-trial trials and have denied all costs.

The building’s principal specialist is the ITD-CREC joint enterprise. CREC stands for China Railway No. 10 Thailand.
The Chatuchak district’s 2.1 billion-baht building site was officially declared safe by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration on Thursday, and the place was handed over to State Audit Office members.
The page was finally taken as the studies are still being conducted, according to Bang Sue officers captain Pol Col Sanong Saengmanee.
