The case started in 2015 with indictments by four prosecutors, but Winyat said little progress had been made so far. Winyat had filed petitions to the Office of Attorney General (AGO) to accelerate the case twice. Last Tuesday, the AGO-affiliated Department of Special Litigation asked the DSI director-general, Pol Colonel Paisit Wongmuang, to speed up the investigation. In the petition, Winyat said that the DSI should be quick to submit witnesses’ testimonies to prosecutors. His petition was received by DSI investigator Tatchakorn Annoppetch, who said that he would have to evaluate the petition before forwarding it for consideration by the DSI chief.
