Revealed that next week he will travel to AMLO to submit a request for an investigation into money laundering in this case as well. Mr. Sonthiya Sawadee, former Advisor to the Commission on Law, Justice and Human Rights House of Representatives Submitted a letter to Police Lieutenant Colonel Yutthana Praedam, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation. Acting Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation I would like to investigate the case of cadmium waste in many issues and I would like to ask Ms. Pimpattra Wichaikul, Minister of Industry. It clearly states what the process will be for dealing with private companies that buy and sell cadmium waste. And who will be responsible? Including action will be taken against relevant officials, with Ms. Arunsri Witchawut, Director of the Special Case Management Division Become a representative Mr. Sonthiya Sawadee said that regarding cadmium poisoning There are people who cause damage and commit illegal acts in many sectors. Both the public and private sectors Therefore, it is seen that the Department of Special Investigation is an agency that can come and investigate the truth for the benefit of the people and the country. He raised questions about: 1. The cost of transporting the cadmium waste. Which agency is responsible? Because cadmium is an asset available from the smelting of zinc ore of Padaeng Industry Public Company Limited, or currently Bound and Beyond Public Company Limited, which is purchased between private companies at a tonne per ton. 1,200 baht, therefore it is considered that it should be the responsibility of private companies that trade with each other 2. Which agency is responsible for allowing cadmium waste to be brought up from landfill even though it is toxic? 3. Transporting, traveling, is the vehicle overweight? 4. Provinces where cadmium is stored Which government agency in the province, suc h as Bangkok, Samut Sakhon, Chonburi? Who is responsible? And 5. The private sector that owns the cadmium storage area. How to take responsibility? Today he came to complain. Because it is a working group regarding strategic development in the southern central provinces, Samut Sakhon Province, Samut Songkhram Province, Phetchaburi Province, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. And the cadmium waste was found in Samut Sakhon Province by a company originating in Tak Province. When zinc was smelted, cadmium residue or some ore was left and was buried in Tak Province for more than 20 years. In addition, there are more than 300,000 tons of cadmium residue that is buried in Tak Province in an area of ??2,000 rai, while other parts have overflowed into the area of ??Rayong Province, which he has informed Ms. Arunsri, Director of the Division. Special Case Management that in Rayong Province there was a complaint to them that this cadmium was part of the deposits in Rayong Province and was transported during the night. The important thing is that it was initiated by a private company and a private company that has Trading is 1,200 baht per ton, but when 2 private agencies trade with each other He sees that in addition to provincial industries or government agencies in Tak Province that must know about the transport of cadmium waste to Samut Sakhon, Bangkok, and Chonburi Provinces, there are also many other agencies that must share responsibility for public safety. Therefore, I would like the DSI to take this as a special case. Mr. Sonthiya further said that the DSI has informed that an investigation number has been set for cadmium waste. We therefore call for the investigation and prosecution of all those involved. Whether Tak Province Tak Province Industry Provincial administrator local administrators or the person giving permission to mine cadmium waste Or the Department of Highways that allowed at least 500 transport trips to arrive in the areas of Samut Sakhon, Bangkok and Chonburi provinces. As for Bangkok, is it true tha t there are people involved with the same surname as the MP of a political party? (Khao Klai Party) As for the case where private companies trade cadmium waste among themselves It is a process that commits a fundamental offense regarding Anti-Money Laundering Act 1999 (Section 3) and predicate offense number 15 therefore request DSI to investigate and seize assets. and prosecute this kind of behavior In addition, he has submitted all information to the DSI to request to be a joint plaintiff. In the investigation, he is confident that many agencies are involved. and is believed to be worth at least 300 million baht As for the case of Mr. Chulphong Thaweesri, Director-General of the Department of Industrial Works Having announced his resignation, Mr. Sonthiya viewed it as his wish and sympathized with the civil servants who worked without knowing about it. But it's not just the Director-General. that are involved and responsible This story has many units. Resignation of the Director-General I believe there is no meaning. You have clearly informed that this is a show of responsibility. and is close to retirement. Mr. Sonthiya also said that within the next week he will travel to the AMLO office to submit a request to investigate the issue of money laundering in this case as well. Source: Thai News Agency
