Extradition documents ready to return Vorayuth to Thailand

THE FORMAL documents to extradite fugitive Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya have been completed and the process to return him to Thailand to face charges of reckless driving causing death will begin immediately after he is found, a senior official said yesterday.

 

Amnat Chotchai, director-general of the International Affairs Department, said his department was responsible for contacting the foreign country if Vorayuth, 35, is located to arrange for his extradition.

 

“All extradition documents are ready. When Vorayuth is arrested in any country, we will just fill in the name of that country. We can forward the documents to get the signature of the Attorney-General within five days,” Amnat said.

 

Thai authorities have increased hopes that Vorayuth will be arrested after Interpol last week put him on a worldwide wanted list.

 

Vorayuth, also known as “Boss”, allegedly ploughed his Ferrari into a policeman riding a motorbike in Bangkok in 2012, dragging the officer to his death, while driving drunk.

 

He was facing four charges, but the statute of limitations expired for three of them, leaving only the charge of reckless driving causing death, which will expire in 2027.

 

The delay in finding and prosecuting Vorayuth has led to criticism that authorities were reluctant to put him in jail because he is the wealthy heir to the Red Bull empire.

 

Vorayuth sneaked out of the country in April. However, a foreign news agency tracked him down in the UK, while Thai authorities claimed they did not know his whereabouts. 

 

The report caused outrage in Thailand with people questioning authorities’ sincerity in prosecuting him.

 

If police in a foreign country arrest Vorayuth, Amnart said, they could detain him according to their laws.

 

After Interpol notifies Thai police of the arrest, they will inform the Attorney-General’s Office. 

 

If Vorayuth is arrested in a country that has an extradition treaty with Thailand, the process to return him to Thailand would follow set procedures, Amnat said. If he is found in a country that does not have a treaty with Thailand, the Foreign Ministry would handle the case on a reciprocal basis with diplomatic discussions.

 

Thailand has signed extradition treaties with the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Belgium, China and Hong Kong, South Korea, Indonesia, Australia, Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Bangladesh, Fiji, Malaysia and India.

Why all the inaccuracies.  He did plough his ferrari into the cop.. He said he was driving after that lame duck attempt to fit up the family butler was foiled.

The whole thing including the interpol list is hollow while the statute clock is ticking while he is knowingly on the run.

Farcical, nothing more nothing less

10 years is a lot of ticks on that clock.

He is probably in Thailand safe from extradition. Interpol is being made a fool of. Could be in the home on Sukhumvit he went to after running down the police officer. Interpol cannot find him if he is safe at home in his home country.

Unlikely scenario, but certainly a possible one, hiding on a foreign passport under an assumed name. However, the way things often seem to operate in Thailand, suspects are expected to obligingly turn themselves in or stop at check points. Still seems unlikely that the lad will be face charges any time soon.

So when they find out which country he's in they will make sure to contact every possible media outlet they can to let him, I mean the public, know that they know where he is. They will then wait 5 days (must be a slow writer this AG) and then be "shocked" to learn that he is not in that country anymore, and so the whole process will have to start again. :coffee1:

According to a Thai i know that could be described as inside a certain business, this Punk is in China by special request from certain people here. He is able to have an office there and do his business virtually unhindered.  Big Daddy China looks after people who are connected to certain families.

So if he gets citizenship and a passport from another country, then he changes his name and passport in that country, is anybody looking for him under his new name?

 

Thailand would have no idea what his new name is, so how could they tell Interpol?

Worked for Ronnie Biggs, for a while.

You might be correct about that. And he'd be safe. Lets face it, the RTP and the army to the tune of 4000 individuals couldn't find a monk, so 'boss' could imagine himself to be fairly safe at home.
They could get a warrant to search Mum's house . . . Ha ha, that's NEVER gonna happen!
As a side issue - did they get a warrant to search Yingluk's house? . . . might pick up a few clues . . . if they actually want clues . . .

How laid back can you get?

 

Now, just imagine for a moment that the fugitive was not a billionaire's son who killed a cop but an impoverished dissident wanted on a lese

majeste charge. . . 

 

For some reason the words sauce, goose and gander spring to mine.

Lad? Really?

He is a grown man (I use the word man very loosely)

"Extradition diocuments" ready sounds like more trash talk as depending on the country where he is found, the process will depend on that countrys law. Unless they believe they will get Prayuth to just use 44 so we can all have a laugh at the one fingered salute he receives.

Yes, couldnt find a monk in their own backyard while having the perimeter surrounded. I doubt they would be able to locate the eventual country he is found in. Unless Prayuths fictional road map had a big "X" marked on it, then of course the only problem is finding someone in the military who can actually read a map.

Hmmmh.....if you want to find him. I suppose there was no serious attempt to catch him. Too much money involved? Big envelope? I doubt he will arrive here in the very next future.

 

Dont you mean "in due time" or "according to the road map"?
