DSI to issue warrants for four 'big guys'
The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) said it will issue arrest warrants today for four big guys found to be allegedly involved in the smuggling of pseudoephedrinebased pills from state hospitals.
These four people will be the first group of wrongdoers to face arrest in this case, DSI chief Tarit Pendith said yesterday.
Of the four, two were found involved in the smuggling of pseudoephedrine tablets and the other two were involved in the disappearance of cough medicine from state hospitals. Pseudoephedrine, which is widely used to treat patients suffering from colds, is also the precursor chemical used in the production methamphetamine.
“The four suspects are really, really big people and have the power to mediate and be behind the smuggling,” Tarit said, though he refused to name the wrongdoers for fear they might disappear.
However, Tarit did say that the department would issue a summonses for the director of Thong Sang Khan Hospital, because he is not expected to flee.
“We will issue an arrest warrant one by one in the near future,” Tarit said.
