Deputy AG fails to show up at an independent hearing into the dropping of ‘Boss’ charges

By The Thaiger

 

 

At yesterday’s hearing into the dropping of the Boss Yoovidhya ‘reckless driving causing death’ charge, the man who approved the dropping of the charges didn’t even bother turning up.

 

A panel, headed by a former chairman of a constitution drafting body, Borwornsak Uwanno, summonsed Deputy Attorney-General Nate Naksuk to give statements at the independent committee looking into what lead to the dropped charges. But was a no-show at the hearings.

 

The deputy spokesman of the Office of the Attorney General, Prayuth Phetkhun, along with a group of prosecutors involved in the case, attended yesterday’s hearing. The hearing lasted about 5 hours.

 

There have been three committees set up to look into the dropping of the most serious of the charges against Boss, the ‘reckless driving causing death’ charge. The decision, not initially made public in Thailand but published in a CNN.com news article, sparked public outrage. The first committee was set up by Thai PM Prayut Chan-o-chaThe other 2 were launched by the Office of Attorney-General and the Royal Thai Police Office to examine their roles in the imbroglio.

 

Borwornsak Uwanno says he will be making sure the Deputy AG shows up to clarify his role in the issue. He didn’t provide any comments about why the Deputy AG didn’t attend the hearing.

 

“He will have to appear before the panel eventually.”

 

2 other people involved in the Red Bull heir’s case were able to provide valuable evidence.

 

• Somjai Tosukolwan served as deputy chief of the Department of Southern Bangkok Litigation when the case was handed to the prosecution.

 

• Nipaporn Rujanawong recommended that consideration of Mr Vorayuth’s petition calling for fair treatment should be dropped.

 

Mr Borwornsak said the hit-and-run case exposed what were deemed as weaknesses in the country’s Attorney General justice administration processes. Arising from the proceedings, it was found the Boss Yoovidhya, through his lawyers, used the ‘petition for fair treatment’ to stall the cases and Boss’s appearances in front of a Court.

 

Boss petitioned more than 10 times for ‘fair treatment’. The independent investigation panel has been gathering information about where and how those petitions were submitted.

 

The case has been meandering through the legal system since September, 2012 when the grey Ferrari, driven by Vorayuth ‘Boss’ Yoovidhya crashed into the back of a motorcycle driven by a 47 year old policeman who was killed after being dragged along the road for 100 metres in Thong Lor, Bangkok.

 

Boss was able to evade appearing in Court to face a series of charges for around 10 times citing ‘business meetings’ and questioning his ‘fair treatment’ as reasons for non-appearance at the hearings. He eventually Fred the country in 2017 using the family’s private jet, flying to Singapore, abandoning the plane and then making his way to the UK. He has been seen at Red Bull events since – the media have been able to track him down a number of times and snap photos.

 

Hearings will continue into the decision to drop the final charges against Boss today and tomorrow.

Feudal country wrapped in a thin veneer of modernity. The shiny malls are not fooling anyone.

Come on, did anybody actually expect him to turn up?

No way would he be there, far too many questions to be answered.

First question would be, how much did you get paid to drop the charges.

Just as "Boss" was supposed to appear eventually !

A complete shambles, and a disgrace to the already laughable juctice system of Thailand.

[petermik]

Like a lot in authority here this guy has no ba*ls.....

[Pib]

Maybe the Deputy AG had a conflicting meeting schedule....like maybe a meeting with Boss's lawyers regarding the need for additional stuffed envelopes.

[ThailandRyan]

He will evade 8 times and then flee the country when they find his swiss bank account and Dubai love shack purchased by the redbull clan......ice is getting thinner.

[jackdd]

And in the near future we might read a news like "Deputy AG comitted suicide, found with 5 bullet wounds in his back by his maid". Or he just leaves the country before he has to answer any questions, he should have enough money now.

[spidermike007]

Your honor, I rest my case. Guilty as charged. Both Boss, and the army. 

 

This is ample demonstration that despite protestations to the contrary, Prayuth and the army are performing the job they were appointed to do. Protect the wealthy, the powerful and those in office. 

 

Anyone who thinks anything to the contrary, is naive at best.

I doubt Bull Boy himself knows what's going on in his law-proof jet set bubble.

I heard the Deputy AG was off getting his 'fit-to-fly' certificate.

[Forza2002]

Deputy AG was probably instructed to leave Thailand ASAP. Private jet at his disposal and whisked off to a country of his choosing with all his booty...

[KhunKenAP]

He is currently at the same address as the "Boss" that they could never find.

It amazes me how they can go after a student who  fled to a neighbouring country and then disappeared, CCTV showed two black SVU's pulling up at his place and taking him, no one has seen him since. The Boss is in the UK and they can't extradite him, what about a couple of black SVU's going in and bringing him back, ah justice NOT !

Or killed when his motorcycle crashed into a light pole.   Or course the Deputy AG would probably have to first go buy a motorcycle to do that...probably only drives a Benz (with red tag) right now.

Can't wait for this to upgraded to "Fled the scene"..............I guess this is somewhat typical of the general attitude you come to expect in a third world backwater!

Understatement of the century alert has been issued ???? 

[JusticeGB]

The offices of certain officials are overloaded with ¿paperwork¿ or should that read brown envelopes? Maybe the assistant OAG couldn't find his warrant to appear as it was under a load of ¿paperwork¿

[pegman]

 Guaranteed he's been suicided by now

"He eventually Fred the country in 2017 using the family’s private jet, flying to Singapore,..."

Who is this Fred fellow? Mistranslation? He didn't "Fred" the country. Maybe his mate instead: He eventually Dicked the country... and like lots of Dick activities here, recipients were well paid

[kingstonkid]

Anyone want to bet that Nate turns up dead by suicide.   get a feeling that his actions were due to the color brown and favours promised by the Red Bull company.
