On 25 November 2025, at Government House, Pol. Lt. Gen. Rutthaphon Naowarat, Minister of Justice, provided an update on the ongoing investigation into the alleged VIP prison facilities. He stated that two officials—the Commander of Bangkok Remand Prison and the Commander’s secretary—have been temporarily removed from their positions. Details of the case have been forwarded to the investigative committee and the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). On Thursday afternoon (27 November 2025), he expects to receive an updated report identifying all individuals involved, which he believes will match the initial list. He emphasized that the investigation will rely on available evidence.
Regarding whether higher-ranking officials are implicated, Pol. Lt. Gen. Rutthaphon confirmed that no one above these positions is involved. He noted that the details of the construction of the special rooms—such as when they were built and completed—are already known and are part of the DSI and committee’s investigation. Once finalized, the findings will be shared with the media.
When asked whether new individuals, including those outside the prison system, might be revealed on Friday (28 November 2025), he said he had no information yet and would wait for updates from the committee and DSI.
In response to calls for the disclosure of financial transaction trails, he stated that such information has already been examined and substantial data has been collected.
As for whether the specially renovated rooms were built long before the current government took office, he said those details will be included in the final summary, which will be provided later.
