The money had been channelled through Justice Minister Pirapan Salirathabibhagha, she said.
Khunying Porntip was speaking on Tuesday after a meeting of the Justice Ministry's investigation team which comprises herself, permanent secretary for justice Kittipong Kittiyarak, navy assistant chief-of-staff Vice Admiral Chumnum Ajwong and representatives of the departments of Special Investigation, Fisheries and Customs.
Khunying Porntip expected a team of divers would be able to examine the first container next week to see if there were human skeletons inside as rumoured. The investigation team would meet at the DSI on Saturday to finalise planning
Mr Kittipong said the dive team would find out what was in the container and whether there were any other sunken containers nearby. The DSI would find out who dropped them into the sea.
Relatives of victims of the May 1992 crackdown on protesters have asked the government to find out if the container does hold human remains. Many protesters are still missing. [/td][/tr][/table]
