The collapse of the State Audit Commission building in Thailand has led to a major corruption investigation. The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) announced that 70 government officials are suspected of bid rigging in the construction project. "We have found evidence linking 70 officials to bid rigging," stated Pol. Col. Ekachai Suravud Rangsai, DSI spokesperson.
