DSI names two in paracetamol scandal

“The DSI has already concluded its investigation and forwarded the results to Public Health Minister Pradit Sinthawanarong,” the source said.
In the report, GPO chief Witit Artavatkun and the agency’s former chairman Vichai Chokevivat are accused of violating the law governing the bidding of government projects.
Pradit said he had received the DSI report, but declined to comment further.
“I have not read the details yet,” he said.
The DSI launched an investigation into GPO’s purchase of precursor chemicals to produce paracetamol in the wake of reports that hundreds of tonnes of the chemical were problematic.
Asked about DSI’s accusations, Vichai said he had already explained himself.
“If it has decided to forward the case to the Public Health Ministry, so be it. I don’t have any worries because I have not done anything wrong,” he said.
