OIG engage in "stressful" meeting discussing "Red Bull Boss" case

Daily News said that a meeting of top investigative officers at the Office of the Inspector General yesterday was highly charged and stressful.

 

They were discussing procedural and evidential issues connected to the ongoing case that has dragged on for 9 years.

 

And specifically what to do in response to developments in the case against a former senior prosecutor who dropped charges against Vorayuth Yoovidhya before they were later reinstated. 

 

The OIG committee discussed at length about the authority of their investigation.

 

The media was  relying on tidbits of information from the committee that was set up by RTP chief Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk who is under pressure to resolve the continuing rumors about improper activity by senior officers involved in allowing "Boss" to go free.

 

How one witness changed their testimony to say that his Ferrari was only going 76 kmph not the previously sworn 177 kmph.

 

Boss hit and killed a senior police sergeant in the Thong Lo area of Bangkok in September 2012 dragging the officer's motorcycle 200 meters down the road. 

 

He left Thailand in 2017. He is an heir to the massive "Red Bull" drinks empire. 

 

Suwat has granted the committee leave to continue their investigation into the case until November 10th.

 

Definitive answers to key issues are promised then but few will expect senior heads to roll, notes ASEAN NOW.

 

Footdragging in the case has happened for years so many are expecting more of the same until the whole mess is assigned to past history.

I suspect the only stress was on the "investigators" as the "accused" probably outrank them socially.

And those who’ve received ‘tea money’ outrank them professionally.... 

 

There is only one reason this case has not been resolved - Corruption. 

 

Of course, thats not news to anyone, but the theatre involved is outrageously embarrassing and makes Thailand look like the third world crack-pot nation we have all hoped it would evolve from.

Must be incredibly stressful not to know how they are going to clear everyone involved from any wrongdoing whatsoever.  Never mind; just keep shoving it back under the carpet until the Statute runs out or everyone involved has withered and died !

What a complete crock of brown sloppy stuff, the only stress is being found out to have been at the end of brown envelope payment trail; everyone knows it is a complete sham and shows what a bunch of corrupt people are in charge of the country.

Should we really make an effort to get the Red Bull creep? We have been protecting the rich and elite for generations now, so how are we supposed to change all of a sudden, and actually go after them? Same applies to the police. We protect them, we do not go after them.

 

Geez. This is causing me alot of stress. I am confused. I guess this is just for the cameras, and public dissemination. So why should I take this seriously. After all, we will never pursue someone like this. We did a good job of making it look like a contentious meeting! Good on us. 

[ThailandRyan]

Oh the shame of self created stress because not one but all have been complicit in one way or another.  I mean holy cow look how many years this BS has been dragging on.  Had it been a lo-so, a foreigner or even a migrant worker the case would have been closed and prosecuted in short time.  Cluster Cluck at it's worst as well as corruption, no more to see here folks just move along while we sweep it under the rug and into the sewer where the smell of the impropriety will never be distinguished between the other feces in the sewer.

One of their own was killed , but instead some of them took a windfall.

Just let it drag on till the statute of limitations kicks in, that's what its all about.

"Daily News said that a meeting of top investigative officers at the Office of the Inspector General yesterday was highly charged and stressful."

 

the stress was said to be due to their difficulty in coming up with a "misunderstanding" that would explain the lack of action on the case that could be accepted by anyone with an IQ above 75.

[ikke1959]

Why don't they broadcast it live om TV with experts from other countries to find out the truth.. Suffering is last word they need. Egoists and incapable men they are...

The statute of limitations is not relevant, when there is no desire to prosecute someone for a crime committed.

Vorayuth Yoovidhya might well be the heir to a vast fortune but he and his family have acted incredibly stupidly in this case.

 

It must have cost them a small fortune to keep kicking the can down the road.  Had he immediately  fessed up , dropped 10 million to the policemans family then done an hours community service at some simple task , it would all have been forgotten by now.

 

Not the sharpest tool in the box.

I guess having to explain away somebody else's bribe can be stressful, but let's face it, they are all experts after all.

[Aussieroaming]

This would be damned stressful I imagine. Fancy finally getting your snout to the trough 9 years after everyone else and only finding  crumbs.

I bet.

[Scott Tracy]

Just goes to show the attitude at the top of law enforcement. One of their own was allegedly killed by this guy. This is why the whole law enforcement institutions need reforming.

[TheFishman1]

 Everybody knows the endgame here when the statue a limitation run out he’ll be back like nothing ever happened in time and there’s absolutely no shame it’s just all about one thing care of money TIT

In this day and age of social media, all they would have to do is offer a reward for information proving his whereabouts. Of course, that's if they don't already know.
