rooster59 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Vorayuth has no stake or involvement in TCP Group, Red Bull maker clarifies By The Nation TCP Group, the maker and distributor of global energy drink Red Bull, has clarified on its website that Vorayuth Yoovidhya, whose alleged involvement in a road accident that killed a policeman and subsequent absolution has been controversial, has never been involved with the group's business operations. According to a release on its website, it said that in response to recent reports about Vorayuth's case, and misunderstanding about his relationship with TCP Group and the company’s products, "the company would like to state that we are fully aware of the situation and truly understand consumer sentiment regarding the incident". "As such, TCP Group would like to clarify that Vorayuth has never assumed any role in the management and daily operations of TCP Group, was never a shareholder, nor has he held any executive position within TCP Group." The statement said that the current confirmed shareholders and board members of TCP Group are: Pavana Langthara, Suthirat Yoovidhya, Jiravat Yoovidhya, Pranadda Yoovidhya, Supreeya Yoovidhya, Saravoot Yoovidhya and Nucharee Yoovidhya. The statement reiterated that the company’s executives, shareholders and employees were not involved in any aspect of Vorayuth's case and it was his personal affair. The name of the Red Bull scion, who had been absconding since the alleged crime, came into the spotlight again last Friday when the public learnt that the Office of the Attorney-General had decided to drop all charges against Vorayuth in a 2012 hit-and-run case. Vorayuth allegedly crashed his Ferrari into a policeman riding on a motorbike in Bangkok’s Thonglor area. Deputy National Police spokesman, Pol Colonel Kissana Phathanacharoen, insisted on Friday (July 24) that there were no double standards in the case of Vorayuth. Vorayuth is the grandson of late Chaleo Yoovidhya, the founder of TCP Group, maker of Red Bull energy drink.

Deflect, deflect, deflect. The money used for him to lead his hedonistic lifestyle came where, even if he has no 'official involvement' in the company'? What about his motor racing interest. He's been seen photographed around the Red Bull team - just an innocent supporter? Lucky he didn't drive a Ferrari anywhere near them. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post phkauf Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 I just hope that Thais start boycotting this companies products, expats won't really move the needle on this. If the group's sales are down even 20% that will put a dent in their wallets. This sort of pressure worked before with that despicable girl who caused that fatal minivan crash, it can work again. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red bull sells approx 8 billion cans a year through 171 countries. Seriously doubt 20% of Thai sales will put a dent in their bottom line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is standard CYA (cover your a** ) corporate damage control If he had no stake/benefit from being who he is he would be where he belongs...singing love songs to a cell mate That benefit of running off & not being hunted is directly linked to TCP Group. This twerp could have been easily captured by any bounty hunter had a bounty been placed If the Thai people want to do something about this they need to get on Social Media & not just for Thailand posting Post to major news sites around the world & tell them whats going on...yet again in Thailand...

Popular Post Misterwhisper Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 It's pretty obvious from these "clarifications" that the company is very worried about a product boycott and slumping sales. But it doesn't matter whether "Boss" is a company board member or holds any other executive position in the company. The profits generated by the firm still filter down to him, allowing him to finance his lavish lifestyle. So indirectly he IS in fact invested in the company. The press - local and foreign alike - haven't consistently described him for years as "heir to the Red Bull business empire" for nothing. Also, is his appearance at Red Bull-sponsored F1 motor racing events around the world purely in a private capacity? I think not. Furthermore, have the bribes and other "monetary donations" allegedly paid by the Yoovidhya family to "make the case go away" NOT been originally generated through Red Bull product sales? So, for all intents and purposes, little Vorayuth - the wrongfully accused victim as which he is portrayed now - by sheer association is indeed deeply involved with the company. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvs Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Nice try Red Bull family!!!Not going to work this time,people are on to you. Lewis Hamilton can do the right thing here,not racing anymore against a team that is sponsered by Red Bull.He is so very concerned about all lives matter,what about the life of a Thai policeman? Put you money where your mouth is. Max Verstappen should also quit the team,he will not have to worry about finding another team. Guess what?Too much money involved,ain't going to happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkidlad Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Maybe we should get some of the members on here who take the time to tell people that they don’t care about this case and neither do Thais; to write to Red Bull and tell them not to worry.

This part of his comment I actually believe, which is a rare occurrence. In matters such as this, Thailand has only ONE standard -- the rich and influential/connected get off entirely or mostly from criminal matters, except for those that are politically motivated. In that regard, their one standard has been very clear for a very long time. BTW, in regards to the rest of the OP and the company's statement, what it DOESN'T address is what ownership share of the company he stands to inherit from his family or whatever other funds he receives based on their business income/profits. It's not like he's out there earning a living on his own. Who do you think has been funding his rich lifestyle on the run on this years since the policeman was killed?
