This frame grab from video footage taken on September 3, 2012 and received from Thai PBS via AFPTV on September 1, 2020 shows Red Bull heir Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya leaving Thong Lor police station in Bangkok, after he was summoned following a hit-and-run case which resulted in the death of a police officer. – The case against the Thai heir to the Red Bull billions accused of a fatal hit-and-run was “compromised” from beginning to end, the premier’s office said on September 1, 2020, calling the entire procedure “dishonest”. (Photo by various sources / AFP)

 

Thai public prosecutors have expressed concern that they may not be able to indict Red Bull heir, Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya, on a drug abuse charge before the time allowed under the statute of limitations for the offence runs out in the next eight months.

 

The use of cocaine is one of the two remaining charges still pending. The other charge is reckless driving causing death, which is due to expire on September 3rd, 2027. Time allowed under the statute of limitations on three other charges has already expired.

 

Public prosecutors in charge of the case have said they are yet to receive information from the police regarding the suspect’s exact location abroad, which is a basic requirement for the extradition process. The statute of limitations on this case will expire on September 3rd, 2022.

No police force in the West wherever he is staying will dare to arrest him. He is too powerful and rich for that. He can corrupt anything, not just Thai authorities.

Yeah right, just like Epstein....

 

Why would they even bother ? From what I can see on their website there is no interpol notice issued for him anyway ?

All Google shows me is Thai press reports indicating the Thai police saying that they have requested Interpol to issue a red notice.

How likely do you reckon that is ? 

Thai prosecutors are NOT concerned... this is just a sham article in an attempt to show that some people in the 'system' care and want justice.

So everything going to plan then, the government should be ashamed of themselves but following the payoffs they give a rats Axx ......

More likely once the statue of limitations expires, their little earner from not indicting the Red Bull heir will go away.

The Thai authorities should be brought to book for using the name of the interpol organisation falsely.

There is no red notice. 

If they wanted to grab the bloke they could send a few officials to support the law enforcers of the country in a passive capacity, the way other countries do here.

Such a pathetic lot..

I haven't a clue on the "whys and wherefors" re this statement, but just shake my head.

Just fancy that!? 

I bet many fine watches, luxury cars, and drop dead mea nois' were provided to half the judiciary and constabulary so that fart-features here, can lob up as a free brat at Swampy in a BBJ five minutes after midnight any day now...

Owning Red Bull gives you wings! 

 

Yet another failure by Prayut, who swore that justice would prevail here. 

OBVIOUSLY the brown envelopes coming out of the public prosecutors office cannot match those from Red Bull.

The perfect police, whom we are told not to ridicule for fear of heavy litergation, are having a wonderful time!!

Ya gotta wunda.

Dream on. He’s a little urchin offshoot of the bloke that helped develop a soft drink, not some oil baron or important public figure. In the west, there’s more chance he would be pulled over a normal person; they lap that up. He hasn’t because the Thais don’t want to and thus there are no grounds. 

I don't think the posters here are giving this matter a fair shake.  "Boss" will be tried and prosecuted at the same time as "Ferrari Joe".  You guys must trust the process ????????

If he escapes prosecution then EVERY police and justice official concerned with the case from day 1 should be arrested, held without bail, ALL their bank accounts siezed and they should be charged with corruption and dereliction of duty. 

 

Of course this will never happen but it will give the PM an easy way to overhaul the police and justice system as he promised he would back in May 2014.

Utter bs, there is an Interpol Red Notice on his name, and so he should be arrested and returned to Thailand, but he hasn't! Several people even claim to have seen him in Abu Dhabi celebrating Max Verstappen's (stolen) championship! But he wasn't arrested, guess why!?

 

With a net worth of over $24.5 billion in the family, they are extremely wealthy. Jeffrey Epstein was a nobody in comparison with only $577 million, and still managed to corrupt justice in the US for quite some time. 

 

You are the one dreaming here/

"Thai prosecutors concerned they may miss have opportunity to indict Red Bull heir"

Corrected the typo.

Have you got two numbers crossed there? Or have I had one too many?

The people that want this guy to hang should realize that the normal sentence for a drunk rice farmer, who kills a motorcyclist, is suspended and they are fined 50k baht. 

This guy has already paid millions to the family.

Fine, then let him come to court and face all charges related to this death. 

They had 10 years to do something, and did sweetFA in all that time. Now they are worried?

They have started to prepare the people..................................

Their worry can easily be assuaged with a few more million baht. 

They should amend the law so that there won’t be a statue of limitation for criminals who flee the country to avoid prosecution. They wont catch them, but at the very least they wont be able to come back either!

Red Bull brand value 2016-2021

Published by Statista Research Department, Oct 14, 2021

 In 2021, Red Bull had an estimated brand value of 15.99 billion euros, up from 15.11 billion the year prior. The energy drink manufacturer remained Austria’s most valuable brand by a significant margin.

Quote

Dietrich Mateschitz is an Austrian billionaire businessman. He is the co-founder and 49% owner of the Red Bull energy drink company. As of October 2021, Mateschitz's net worth was estimated at US$25.4 billion.

Now there's a co-incidence????

It is a farce the whole case.. There is no intention to find him or convict him... In 10 years time, they don't know yet his speed , where he is, or anything.  The case can be solved very easily, ask the FBI, CIA, or Schotland Yard to help and in a few weeks they will have him... But now it is an example of corruption and incompetence
