They supposedly tried the red notice route and nothing ever materialized.  The wheels of justice turn slowly unless well 'greased'!

[Misterwhisper]

Bravo, Thailand! 

Only took you 8 years. You're getting faster and faster.

 

But... how about a few prosecution orders against all those other people - including police officers, state attorneys and government officials - who allegedly helped the suspect evade justice for so long? Or is that too much to ask? 

[JusticeGB]

Unless the people who gave false evidence of his speed are prosecuted Boss will be able to use their evidence in his defence as there are wide discrepancies in his estimated speed. Also the police who didn't prosecute him for the cocaine in his system because they claimed it came from dental treatment are effectively giving him a defense to that charge unless they are charged with negligence with carrying out their investigations. 

[PatOngo]

The sad thing is the crooked people involved can't see just how stupid they've made themselves look when they could have done this 8 years ago!

Over three years ago when Vorayuth Yoovidha evaded justice.

Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya jets out of Thailand days before trial

His lawyers claimed he was variously unwell or busy dealing with business overseas.

 

But the Associated Press, perusing more than 120 social media postings by his friends and family, found that since the accident Mr Vorayuth has flown around the world on Red Bull jets, cheered his family's Formula One racing team, stayed at luxury resorts and dined at fine restaurants.

Well I hope the original case never went to court as you cant charge someone twice on the same criminal charge!

It's been to court many times, but the defendant hasn't yet put in an appearance.

The last time they did that, it took them two weeks to translate it from Thai to English.

Then a few month later didn't it miraculously disappear from the Interpol website?

Interpol staff presumably gave up on it after no one there could figure out who "Red Bun Boss" was supposed to be.

Autrefois acquit only applies where someone has previously been acquitted of a charge, unless new evidence surfaces, not where they have never been tried. Most prosecutors will decline to put someone to trial where insufficient evidence exists to make a conviction more likely than not to avoid this,

No matter what happens, the little toe rag will never spend time behind bars :(

What a Bunch of ????????????????s

[Loongharkok]

The Red Bull clan better hurry up and hand over sufficient bribes to get this thing closed out ASAP.....when the students succeed with their revolution, this fool is gonna get rounded up by Interpol and locked up by the new democratic government. The times they are a changing.

No need for more brown envelopes, they didn't succeed in getting him back.

The only transfer of funds now required will be from the Red Bulls**t family to where ever he's basking in luxury.

I think he will die of old age before he is accountable.

Same same nothing will happen they won’t issue a red notice so Interpol not get involved TIT

Exactly.  If they don't issue an Interpol red notice, he will never be caught.

He'll never be brought to justice.

It just has to appear something's being done.

I would think all involved have had their bins nicely lined to ensure his little rich ar*e will never ever see the inside of a courthouse let alone a jail cell.

Can you imagine the consequences if it was Joe Farang that had caused the accident which killed the copper?

[TKDfella]

Crikey, that was quick...don't know why they didn't wait until 2022 or 2027 to issue the order. I mean the poor chap has hardly had time to escape to...anywhere. I bet he isn't suffering from 'lack of tourism' issues like many of his fellow countrymen.

The Office of the Attorney-General will ask police to take Vorayuth to court by September, 2022, on the drug use charge and by 2027 on the reckless driving charge, he said.

Are they Stupid or what .They can't take him to court unless he gets extradited from wherever he is , can't see that happen. 

He's doing Fine where he is so Why would he come back to los .

Same as all the other Fugitives Living it up in their New countries.

But what about the corruption and all those involved or did that never happen ?????

Yes, the little spoiled brat’s family will be fuming that it’s game back on, after all the millions and millions they have paid in bribes so far.

[spidermike007]

I wonder if there is a single person in Thailand, or around the world who is not having a chuckle over this latest stunt? 

 

There is about the same amount of weight in their "prosecution order", as me issuing a prosecution order against every policeman in the country, and every member of this administration, for being hugely corrupt. 

 

Less than zero, is just that. You can only be taken seriously in this life, if you are a serious person, with sincere intentions.

You give the impression of the former to achieve the latter 

[Steve DaPilot]

If the gov't really wanted this to be settled, they would prioritize the case and get it before a judge THIS year. Not 2022 and 2027. And how can they ignore the manslaughter charge if these other 2 are sticking to him? Its like saying "yes he was driving the Ferrari wrecklessly and yes he was high on coke - but it wasn't him driving that hit and dragged the policeman's body on a hit and run". Like someone else took over driving just before the car hit the cop? Disgusting !

Well I'm totally with you on this one.

 

Trouble is a lot of the newbies just don't understand how Thai 'justice' works and are filled with indignation.

 

For the rest of us, you just roll your eyes at the latest piece of window dressing for show.

 

Nothing will actually happen, maybe a Interpol Red Notice will be issued, but remember we had that piece of theatrics before.

A Red Notice is once again only window dressing, since it still requires the country requesting it to then request the country where the suspect (rich kid) is located to be arrested.

Well like that happened last time after the press was plastered with pics of him emerging from his home in London!

 

Just get over the fact that this will just rumble on forever with nothing actually happening, other than maybe a couple more committees formed to investigate corruption, and a few underlings sent to jail.

 

It's very sad country, but I, and most of you will be long gone before anything really changes in terms of a real justice system.

"Harbouring a fugitive" is an offence that relates to a person, or persons, not to a country.

didn't he kill an innocent bobby on his way home to his family

 

and then he was so out of his tree he dragged this family man hundreds of meters under his super car in such a brutal way that they needed a shovel to collect all the bits

It's probably the same one although you messed up your description a bit with your gratuitous embellishment and exaggeration.

Interpol doesn't "round up" anyone.
