タイ 地震じしんで建設けんせつ中ちゅうの高層こうそうビル倒壊とうかい 現地げんち法人ほうじんの中国人ちゅうごくじん幹部かんぶを逮捕たいほ

Last month, in relation to the collapse of a high-rise building under construction in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, due to a major earthquake in Myanmar, Thai investigative authorities announced the arrest of executives from the local subsidiary of a Chinese state-owned enterprise responsible for the construction. They plan to investigate the connection to the cause of the collapse.

On the 28th of last month, a major earthquake occurred in Myanmar, causing an under-construction high-rise building to collapse in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. So far, 47 people have died, and more than 40 people are still missing.

This building is being constructed as a joint venture between a major Thai construction company and a local subsidiary of a Chinese state-owned enterprise, and the Thai government and investigative authorities are investigating the cause of the collapse, including whether there were any issues with the construction.

Amidst this, the Special Investigation Department of the Thai Ministry of Justice announced on the 19th that they arrested a Chinese executive of a local corporation on suspicion of illegally using a Thai persons name to operate a business.

The Special Investigation Bureau is also searching the mans related locations to investigate any illegal activities that could have led to the building collapse and their connection to the cause of the collapse.

The Special Investigation Bureau launched a search on the 11th at another Chinese-affiliated company that manufactured the rebar, as some of the rebar used in construction did not meet the required standards, and the future course of the investigation is drawing attention.
