Interpol is a police organization not a political group, therefore any request from an official recognized government police force should be acted upon.

This statement is plain wrong.

Extraditions are not carried out by the police but by the respective sovereign governments/judicial systems and they are correct to assess what treaties lie in place and what the receiving government’s motivation & standing is. 

I am certain requests from Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Russia & China etc etc would be viewed with high skepticism. Thailand, whilst not in the same bracket, has a poor human rights record, a history of political dissident extradition requests and also of ‘disappearing’ dissidents. 

 

That being said, hard to see any of that as a factor in this well publicized case, there is no political motive (apart from Thai government actually helping him avoid prosecution..) and taking earlier comments at face value, he is not on any Interpol list at present anyway.

As a British citizen, if as alleged, he is residing in the UK, I find that embarrassing and can only assume some sort of diplomatic arrangement has been agreed. IIRC the Shinawatra’s were originally accepted to reside in London but were shuffled off to Dubai, perhaps with Thai pressure being applied. Or maybe they were just sick of the weather.

That must be the joke of the week, hunt continues for Red Bull heir, bloody priceless that anybody has the nerve to come out with BS like that.:cheesy:

When the whole world knows they are not even thinking about it, let alone hunting for him.

Not true,  they are thinking about it - when is it time to ask for another donation?

The British government has an extradition treaty with Thailand and has no hesitation extraditing its own citizens back to Thailand or requesting it's own citizens to be extradited back to the UK.

 

You don't hear of many Thais being extradited though, wonder why that is? ????

The spokesman of the Office of the Attorney-General said that officials continued hunting for Red Bull heir Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya who was wanted for a hit-and-run case.

It's like Disney's never ending story.

What a hard job it must be.... The guy posts pictures constantly on instagram & twitter showing what he's doing and where he is.

If they were really looking for him, they'd have found him because he's not exactly hiding.

That doesn't work with Thai authorities. What Boss would need to do is produce a huge vinyl board with cute cartoon characters indicating the places where he prefers to hang out, and then mail it to the attorney-general.
