Conspiracy case hits dead end

The investigation into an alleged plot to topple the monarchy has hit a dead end and may become a cold case, Pavesana Mulpramook, deputy chief of the Department of Special Investigation, said Friday.

"Unless the graphic found can explain how the plot was hatched and carried out, investigators have no more leads left to pursue," he said.

Pavesana was referring to a chart on the alleged conspiracy plot that was circulated by the Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation in the midst of redshirt related political turmoil in April 2010.

He said four military officers attached to the CRES would give their statements on March 6 in order to shed light on the chart. If they fail to explain it, then the case would collapse because even Suthep Thaugsuban, who was CRES director, cannot recall how the chart came about to be linked to the conspiracy theory, he said.
