If executives of CPF, a listed company, are found guilty they could face up to one year in prison and a fine of up to Bt400,000. Sumet Mahosot, director-general of the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare, said the department filed the criminal case on July 19 over the five deaths last month. A Chulalongkorn University student fell into sewage at the plant and four CPF employees tried to rescue her. All the deaths were due to toxic air and a lack of oxygen. The executives were accused of not informing its employees about the dangers of the site where the incident took place.
