Attorney General Julasing Wasantasing Friday dismissed a report that he has already decided to drop charges against suspected arms traffickers.
"That report is just a rumour," he said.
Julasing's decision on the case is considered final.
In this case, five suspects were arrested in Bangkok late last month because their plane was loaded with war weapons. The suspects were First Pilot Ilyas Issakov, 56, Navigator Viktor Abdullayev, 58, Mechanic Mikhail Petukou, 54, Technician Alexandr Zrybnev, 53 and Second Pilot Vitaliy Shumkov, 54.
Petukou is a Belarusian while all other suspects are from Kazakhstan.
Their plane landed at the Don Mueang Airport for refuelling.
Kayasit Pisawongprakan, who heads the Office of the Attorney General's Criminal Litigation Division, Friday said Julasing had not yet made a decision on the case because he had to go through a lot of documents.
"He will need some more time," Kayasit said.
