Popular Post webfact Posted September 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2020 PM orders Thai authorities to seek Interpol’s help to apprehend Red Bull scion Photo from Prayut Chan-o-cha Facebook Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has instructed authorities to coordinate with Interpol to issue a Red Notice for Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya to have him provisionally arrested and held, pending extradition back to Thailand to stand trial on charges related to an eight year old fatal hit-and-run case. The Prime Minister said today that, since the prosecutors in charge of the case have decided to indict the fugitive on charges of reckless driving causing the death of another person and illicit drug use, the next step is for them to instruct the police to bring him to court to stand trial. Interpol will alert its member countries of the Red Notice, adding that he expects an update from the Thai police within a week.

No. I remember, and I posted about it a week ago. The first time it took the RTP two weeks to translate the paperwork from Thai to English. Then it went to Interpol, who put it on their website. A couple of months later our man in Ferrari mysteriously disappeared from the Interpol website. I do not know if it's up to the issuing country to request the arrest of someone wanted by Interpol, to the country the 'fugitive' is residing? If that's the case, you'd imagine the RTP wouldn't lift a finger. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can put me right.

Popular Post Misterwhisper Posted September 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) What a sad state of affairs when the chief of government personally has to chase up and "order" the national police force to actually do their job. Well, they reluctantly tried it once with Interpol. And it turned out an utter failure involving a lot of foot dragging on behalf of the Thais. So perhaps it's necessary to apply some pressure from above after all. Edited September 22, 2020 by Misterwhisper 32 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means he must be travelling as another nationality. Does that affect/complicate the RTP trying to extradite a foreign national to Thailand? It makes me wonder if the country he has his current passport for might object to one of their nationals being extradited to Thailand. Especially if it's a small country in need of 'donations'. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bobbin Posted September 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2020 It's time for Vorayuth to take one for the team.. Less than 10 years sentence.

Don't agree, these ideas of justice, duty, honour, morality and atonement are (white) Christian concepts. If you've got the money to get away with it, in a corrupt country, why not?

Yea, in a country where you buy your way out of killing a police officer in your car while drunk and coked up, the idea that you could pay for special privileges inside prison is unfathomable. 8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Flying Saucage Posted September 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Here my 2 cents to the current development in the Red Bull case: In general, Thai justice is a very simple thing. Forget all the Thai legal codes, especially the criminal code with its laws similar to rubber bands. They are not worth the paper they are written on. The real law in Thailand is the unwritten law of Sakdina! The courts always decide in favor of the more powerful and more rich people. Very simple concept of law indeed. However, it becomes more interesting when not only Sakdina is involved, which I call the "vertical dimension". One should be aware that the elite is only unified against all those they locate in a lower position of the Sakdina pyramide. Then they all speak the very same language. But there is a "horizontal dimension" as well! The elite itself is not unified. There are different factions, opposing each other, fighting harshly against each other for the pole position. Till a few years ago, 2 or 3 years, the most powerful faction was the one in which Prawit and his adjudants PM Prayut and Anupong are members. Looking how the Red Bull brat was protected during the last 8 years, his family might (might!) also be a member of this faction. In the meantime, another faction became the most powerful, in which the generals Apirat and Narongphan (see the coming reshuffle of the army), but also Anutin and his family (Sinothai), Thamanat (the convicted drug dealer), and the King Power-family are members. Now as an interesting observation, if as an example you look at the hassles which Premchai (Italthai) has been facing after he shot the black panther, one can assume that he is neither member of the first nor of the second of the factions mentioned above. Remember how outraged the Prayut government was about Premchai, beginning of 2018? It was so convenient for Prayut and Prawit at this time, to distract the attention of the populace from the other big scandal at this time, which was related to expensive watches. But, also keep in mind that Italthai and Sinothai are competitors. So, not sure about the final sentence for Premchai. It will not be as harsh as for mushroom picking by commoners, however. So, what will happen now to the Red Bull brat might depend also how the most powerful faction estimates the public outrage resulting from the different options of a verdict. At least it seems that someone else became quite aware of that issue of public outrage, and took over the steering wheel in this case a few weeks ago. Someone from a faction to which Red Bull is not so closely associated. Interesting to observe this and its outcome from an alien perspective.
