A spokesman for the Office of the Attorney-General has said that charges against Red Bull scion Vorayuth Yoovidhya remain in place.

 

There had been suggestions widely shared online that the two remaining charges related to the death of a Thong Lo policeman in September 2012 against the billionaire heir had been dropped.

 

Prayuth Petchkhun said that the news being shared was old and now incorrect. It was from July 24th 2020 when deputy at the OAG Net Naksuk had announced the charges were dropped.

 

They were later reinstated after a huge public outcry and the intervention of the Thai PM Prayuth Chan-ocha, notes ASEAN NOW.

 

The charges that Boss drove negligently causing death and took cocaine are still in place.

 

The spokesman said that the Royal Thai Police are enagaged in looking for the fugitive.

 

He advised people to check what they share and their sources. 

 

Sen Sgt Wichian Klanprasert attached to the Thong Lo police was killed and dragged under the wheels of Boss's Ferrari nearly nine years ago, reported Sanook. 

 

He has not been seen in Thailand since 2017. 

 

His whereabouts, though occasionally reported by the press at Formula 1 events, remain unknown.

The real question is will he ever be brought to justice.  Maybe it's a question of will.

Hey Prayuth. What about your promise to fight corruption, that you made seven long years ago? I doubt if you remember back that far, but when you and your clowns launched a coup, it was ostensibly to restore law and order, which you accomplished with draconian measures, and to get rid of the rot, and corruption in immigration, the police, customs, the government, at the highest levels, which you never even made the slightest attempt to do. You substituted 7 foot alligators, with 14 foot crocodiles. And you have spent your entire seven years protecting the elite, those in office, the army, the police, those who are connected, and the super wealthy.

 

For God's sake, you could not even bring the Dark Tao killer to justice, nor the Red Bull creep. Again, busy protecting the wealthy with all of your power. We all know even if you issued a red notice for the Red Bull criminal, Interpol would simply have a good laugh, as you have reduced your nation to a level, where few take it seriously anymore, and it continues to be a laughing stock of the world, when it comes to justice and the fight against both corruption, and rich criminals.

 

Just look at the heroin dealer who came back to Thailand recently from an Australian prison. He was immediately put into a position of power. Almost to say, good job, you got busted, but you are so rich it does not matter. Welcome back to the "totally above the law crowd!"
 
The real problem is, you will not go after any of these guys. Not the top bankers, not the high ranking guys, not the provincial authorities, and certainly not the army, or the police. They are all corrupt beyond imagination. And the level of corruption simply escalates, the further up the food chain you go. As far as most of us are concerned, everything is the same. The police and army are not expected to be honest, and they are not expected to engage in law enforcement, traffic or public safety, on any level. It is an irrevocably broken and dysfunctional system. Any hyperbole to the contrary, is just a smoke screen, intended to deceive the most naive amongst us. 
 
Now, in this time of desperation, with your nation needing you more than ever before, where on earth are you? What have your proposed? Where are the solutions? How are you going to rescue the economy, and the millions who are out of work? Where is the meritocracy? Why are you always picking from the bottom of the barrel, when it comes to appointments? Why do you insist on people with no experience? Sheer cronyism? The nation does not need or want that nonsense. Grow up. Be a man. Behave like a man.

There are at least a dozen good reasons why you should be removed from office. Get out. Get out now. 

They are just waiting a little longer before they drop them. Is there anyone on this planet who thinks that the BIB don't know exactly where he is?

Unfortunately there are no real journalists in Thailand to question these clowns about whether a request has been made to Interpol for his arrest and extradition

And if the source is the RTP....? 

I agree with all the posts I’ve read on this subject in this stream. Sadly corruption and the power of money and the status it buys is a worldwide phenomena, a worldwide scourge. And some people (usually those with noses in or want to have their noses in such privileged troughs) allow blatant inhumanity to man and crimes like this to go on punished. The denials and protestations by those that benefit from same that there’s nothing to see here and no crimes were committed only serves to feed the fires that burn in most of man about the injustices that we endure.

Lies upon lies they never really did a red notice for his arrest everybody just sitting around waiting for a few more years to go by and then he’ll be back justice in Thailand is a joke he 8 lies upon lies they never really did a red notice for his arrest everybody just sitting around waiting for a few more years to go by and then he’ll be back justice in Thailand is the joke TIT

Until a red notice is issued the prime minister and his government are always going to look bad as it shows they don't want justice for obvious reasons.

we all know who is keeping him in power

If his family is supporting his being a fugitive, then arrest his parents for aiding and abetting a fugitive and see how fast he returns to Thailand. 
If his flight from justice was not being underwritten by his family he would be far more likely to be captured and stand trial. 

Not dropped, but may as well be.

They will not even let "Big Joke" go find & bring him back.

Far too much money has changed hands.

Thaksin (Mr) will never face justice either as just far too embarrasing

Not noticed it before, the dollars on the cap of the gutless creep.

And so does he, which is exactly what Thailand wants.

Totally agree with Spidermike007. The place is a joke to the rest of the world. Allowing vaccines to be exported to other Asian countries when there is a shortage of vaccinations here in his own country.

I fully support those protesting youngsters in the streets.

Please exercise some caution. I got suspended recently for making a similar reference. It is not tolerated by the mods.

Of course there aren't.

 

Who in their corn fed mind would want to be a real investigative journalist in Thailand, where reporting the truth will inevitably land you in court slapped with a defamation, 112 or computer crime charge?

 

This whole case drives farangs nuts because of the blatant in your face corruption. 

 

But most Thai's, especially the older generation simply roll their eyes.

 

If you ever watch Thai TV news I'll guarantee you there has been 100000% more coverage of the case on this forum than on any TV news program!

And why would they issue this notice, knowing full well that the authorities here have no intention to ever prosecute him? He is above the law. Any and all laws. When was the last time someone worth billions of baht was tried, convicted and jailed here? It just does not happen. Hardly ever. So, Thailand has no credibility anywhere in the world, when it comes to the fight against crime, corruption, human slavery, human trafficking, drugs, illegal fishing, and countless other violations against the people and the legal system. 

As an academic exercise I searched the Red Notices for subjects with Thai nationality. There were 12, 9 wanted by Malaysia, 1 by Canada, 2 by the USA. 0 by Thailand.

 

is the Red Bull heir Thai or not?

For goodness sake!

Simply charge him with LM 112 and his folks.

Put a bounty on his head and he will be "found" soon enough.

I think there is some misunderstanding of what a Red Notice actually does.

 

A few years back at least, I did look it up and he was there, then a few weeks later it disappeared.

 

But all it means is that if local law enforcement are aware of his location, they inform Thai authorities and ask if they 'wish' the individual to be detained and deported.

 

This of course was the time when the pictures of him emerging from a house in London surfaced in a British tabloid.

 

We can only surmise that the Thai authorities chose not to request detainment even though, at the time the red notice was in effect.

 

To the noobies, get over it. This is just how Thailand rolls, and all of us will have long turned to dust before any of it changes 

What's the statute of limitations date for the case?

He will be back the day after its expired with a big smile on his face. ????
