Red Bull Boss inquiry: Former deputy attorney general says he acted within the law

[webfact]

Picture: Daily News

 

Daily News reported on the latest tidbit from the committee of inquiry into the case of Red Bull scion Vorayuth Yoovidhya or Boss.

 

Chairman of the committee Kaisit Pisuangprakan said that he had questioned former deputy attorney general Net Naksuk as to why charges were dropped.

 

He said that Net claimed that everything was done according to the law and proper procedures. 

 

Kaisit said that the committee will report its findings as soon as possible but would not confirm when that would be.

 

Around fifteen people including senior police are expected to be questioned.

 

ASEAN NOW notes that the case has dragged on for years since Boss drove his Ferrari into Pol Sen Sgt Maj Wichian Klanprasert in the Thong Lo area of Bangkok in September 2012. 

 

The policeman was dragged several hundred meters to his death.

 

A huge public outcry came last year when it was announced that charges against the billionaire heir were to be dropped prompting Thai PM Prayuth Chan-ocha to reinstate them.

 

Boss fled Thailand in 2017 and despite some sightings over the years his whereabouts remain unknown. 

 

An ASEAN NOW request to Interpol for details of the Red Notice about the fugitive was denied with the Lyon headquarters suggesting that all media inquiries be directed to the Thai police. 

 

The RTP have claimed that a red or arrest notice remains in place for the suspect. 

 

A red notice does not require that member nations of Interpol take any specific action, just that they are aware that the subject is wanted in connection with a certain crime. 

 

In Boss's case this is a charge of vehicular killing and taking cocaine.

Whose law, his own view of what the law said or was it,

(Section 2 subset 1 of Net's law) which says "If the suspect is a Hi-So and not a Lo-So and can afford to pay each investigator and the family millions upon millions, the case has no merit and thus must not be filed"  Sounds about right in this case.....

 

Instead of money I would have insisted on a 10% piece of the company and the profits for life.....

Sounds like you got it wrong again.   The officer's family received B3m agreed compensation (he was single with no dependents) with no clause that any case against him should not be filed.

 

As Vorayuth has no direct connection with the company, he's just a nephew of one of the directors, your insisting on 10% of the Red Bull company and profits for life is laughable.    Vorayuth is not a director or an employee of Red Bull.

Congratulations on the supremely subtle sarcasm of your 10% compensation suggestion.

So, what if his whereabouts are known?  What can the RTP do with that information if he's not in Thailand?

Then perhaps, just perhaps, any police/judicial system with the slightest trace of respect for the law and justice would arrest him (or request his arrest and extradition if he is abroad) and put him on trial for " vehicular murder".

 

Enough of us complain that the Thais are "scofflaws", well it is hardly surprising is it?

He's not wanted for any offence, anywhere, except Thailand so, short of a successful extradition request, there's no reason for any police force, anywhere to want to arrest him.  "Respect for law and justice" does not come into it.   

 

By the way, he's not wanted for murder, "vehicular" or otherwise.

[Andycoops]

Well what a shocker, the former AG would say that as he's obviously trying to cover his posterior and the I'll gotten gains for dropping the case.

OK "vehicular killing".

 

If he is in Thailand and is not arrested then "Respect for law and justice" most certainly seems to be lacking.

 

If his whereabouts outside Thailand are known, and the Thai authorities do not request arrest and extradition then again "Respect for law and justice" most certainly seems to be lacking.

 

Personally I suspect he is in and out of Thailand.

No, not that either.   "Reckless driving causing death" is the charge.

You miss the point.The police represent the monkey not the organ grinder - they do not act without instructions.In Thailand the instructions from above are determined by money, certainly not the law or morality.Boss is secure.

[poskat]

"He said that Net claimed that everything was done according to the law and proper procedures."

 

well, then that's that, the investigation can be closed now.

Fair enough - I was quoting the OP.

 

It doesn't really change the thrust of the argument though does it? He could and should be arrested and sent for trial.

If you pay xxxxx THB we will make that it fits in the law.... All problems solved for everyone

"He who is without sin, cast the first stone" comes to mind. 

 

His many of you partake in corruption here, like pay 200 baht to the policeman when speeding, or pay 20,000 baht to a visa agent so you don't need to show funds in the bank, or pay for extra classes for your kid so they pass their exams, or pay immigration  2000 baht so you don't need a embassy letter etc? 

 

Boss is being hounded just for being rich. A normal person pays 50,000 baht for this crime. How many of you would pay for your kids to walk from this kind of thing?

How many people would be content if their Child got killed by a speeding car and the driver got away without prosecution or facing the responsibility for his actions ?

The parents of the deceased made a deal in the millions. Usually, it is 50,000.

Sorry to inform you, Prayuth. But when you run a nation built upon a foundation that only protects the elite, the super wealthy, those that are well connected, those in power, and a spectacularly corrupt army, and then you reach out to nations that observe the rules of law and order for help, you get ignored, scorned, and ridiculed. Nobody is listening to you these days, much less Interpol. You are NOT a serious man. 98% of Thailand knows this, and most of the world does too. 7 very long years has proven that time and time again.

 

The real problem is, they will not go after 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. They 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.

 

The Anti-Corruption Organization of Thailand (ACT) is one of the most feeble and ineffective of all the tools Prayuth has used to deceive the people into believing that he is fighting corruption. Who was the last high level authority, in the police, immigration, the army, or the active administration they arrested, charged, tried convicted, and sent to prison? Nobody. Zero. Nunca. Nada. Why? Because Prayuth has had a mandate from the beginning to do the very opposite. To protect the elite, the super wealthy who are guilty, those that are connected, and those who are in power. Just think Dark Tao. Just think Red Bull. The list goes on, and on, and on. Only the most naive amongst us believe he or ACT secretary-general Mana Nimitmongkol are sincere about this. 

 

The former AG may have been following the law. Prayuth's law of protecting the elite.

His father is the largest single shareholder and scion of the Red Bull family as the oldest son. And he was an employee when the incident happened. I thought the officer was married?
