Investigative agency DSI hands over 46 files, amounting to 17,620 pages, to the prosecutor in an effort to bring charges against 5 individuals linked to the China Railway nominee case. The DSI expresses confidence in apprehending the elusive fugitive Bin Ling Wu. The agency also gears up to pass the case to the NACC for scrutiny of potentially corrupt officials.

Audit office building investigation forwarded to the prosecutor by the DSI (Directorate of Special Investigations)

The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has submitted a case to the special prosecutor on May 26, 2025, concerning the collapse of the State Audit Office (SAO) building and the involvement of China Railway Number 10 (Thailand) Co., Ltd. Five individuals, including three Thai shareholders, one Chinese director, and a Chinese investor Bin Ling Wu, who remains elusive, are implicated in the case.

After collecting over 17,600 documents in 46 files through collaboration with multiple agencies, the DSI accuses the company of violating the Foreign Business Act, known as the Nominee Case. DSI Deputy Director, Pol Capt Surawut Rangsai, stated that the investigation exposed such violations, and all case documents were submitted to the prosecutor, requesting charges against the suspects.

With the belief that Bin Ling Wu is still in Thailand, Surawut mentioned that the DSI anticipates catching him soon, as they've cooperated with immigration authorities in tracking his whereabouts. The three Thai suspects have been released on bail, while the Chinese director, Chuanling Zhang, remains detained at Bangkok Remand Prison.

Investigators found that the company, allegedly controlled by foreign investors, attempted to bypass the Foreign Business Act by using Thai "nominee" shareholders. The DSI's investigation is ongoing, with additional investigations planned for 17 other related companies that shareholders own.

The DSI is working closely with the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) concerning the SAO project, where possible corruption and bid-rigging are under investigation. The DSI expects to provide further details about the case and will maintain cooperation with the NACC.

Six government officials involved in overseeing the project have been referred to the NACC. The DSI has yet to confirm whether retired officials are part of the investigation, and the final decisions regarding responsibility will rest with the NACC.

The DSI only collects and investigates facts, while the NACC has the authority to make the final decisions. As the prosecutors review the file, the investigation is ongoing, and the DSI continues to scrutinize other projects connected to the joint venture.

  1. The DSI's ongoing investigation has revealed potential violations of the Foreign Business Act by China Railway Number 10 (Thailand) Co., Ltd in the sport, business, and economy sectors, suggesting policy-and-legislation and politics may also be involved.
  2. The stock market could be affected as the investigations into corruption and bid-rigging associated with the SAO project, uncovered by the DSI and the NACC, may impact government contracts and general-news headlines.
  3. In the crime-and-justice realm, the elusive Chinese investor Bin Ling Wu, implicated in the SAO building collapse case, remains a focus of the DSI's efforts to apprehend him, despite his efforts to evade authorities.
  4. As the Special Prosecutor reviews the case files, additional investigations are planned for 17 related companies, further examining their involvement in the nominee case and other potential irregularities, potentially implicating other individuals in the realm of politics and policy-and-legislation.
