Popular Post webfact Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 Picture: INN It is a case that has dragged on for the best part of a decade mired in alleged corruption and delay. Yet the head of the latest investigative committee looking into the affair of Vorayuth Yoovidyha - known as Red Bull Boss - is still promising transparency and speed. Speed is actually at the center of a latest story on the case reported by INN - how fast was Boss going when he hit a senior police sergeant of the Thong Lo constabulary on a motorcycle and dragged him several hundred meters under the wheels of his grey Ferrari. It happened on September 12th 2012 in the Thong Lo area of Bangkok. Charges were dropped against the fugitive after a key figure changed their testimony that caused a huge public outcry leading PM Prayuth Chan-ocha to reinstate them. Now the inspector general of the police Gen Visanu Prasatthongosot has indicated that he feels that senior police figures have given sufficient evidence already and that pressure was not put on the key witness to change testimony related to the speed of the luxury car. One general claims he was abroad at a football conference in Switzerland in February 2016 and spoke to a colleague on his return about the case not because there was news about pressure being applied but because they were old friends. Boss remains abroad somewhere a free man despite being on an Interpol red notice and facing vehicular homicide charges and cocaine taking charges in Thailand. Visanu continued to assure the public of transparency, no favors to police allegedly involved in malfeasance after the crime, and maintaining that everything will be wrapped up in a timely manner. With nine years having elapsed the Thai public will be treating those remarks with a high degree of skepticism, notes ASEAN NOW. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-11-04 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Get your business in front of millions of customers who read ASEAN NOW with an interest in Thailand every month - email [email protected] for more information 1 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fangless Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 The only "speed" involved in this case was the speed "Boss" was driving at, the "speed" (and alcohol) in his system and the speed he escaped justice! 18 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ezzra Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 Aha, Aha, "speedy, transparent and fair" is just that Thailand's "speedy" is like a turtle moving backward, this "boss" will not come to an end any time soon, and if it will, is't going to be on a very low key... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be justice. Why should this guy be put in jail just because he is a billionaire? This kinda crime happens in rural part without the drunks going to jail,and only being fined 50,000 baht for a death. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MyFriend You Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) They need too add another charge against him......"Poor taste in car color".....if I had the money to buy a Ferrari it would have to be either Red or Yellow and Black - not Gray, a gray Ferrari is a crime in itself.

But 3 mill compensation had to ease the pain a bit. 10 yrs on the run isn't the same as small jail time (probably killed in) or a year of public service, which he'd probably pay someone else to do.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 Utter nonsense and more tripe. Few have even been less sincere about the fight against corruption than Cha Cha. Hey Prayuth, what about your promise to fight corruption? I doubt if you remember back this 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, and at the highest levels, which you never even made the slightest attempt to do. You substituted 10 foot alligators, with 14 foot crocodiles. And you have spent your entire 7 sad 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. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pmbkk Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Simple, if they really want to find him - offer a sizable reward for his whereabouts and you'd get his address in a week. Should save the Thai govt' a fortune compared to a 10 year investigation. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
