None of them did this out of the goodness of their hearts they got something out of it from the accused or his family but not seeing of them being prosecuted, taking a bribe is illegal but so is offering one

What?  Two of them have been given jail sentences.

    Never mind the corruption, arrest the little gobschite.

  • That's all very good BUT WHERE IS BOSS? And who else UP the food chain is still getting brown envelopes?

  • It will be a fudge - due to the notable figures

Has anyone ever seen this man's eyes? Perhaps he was wearing sunglasses on the night of the incident. And red lipstick.

His eyes are shown on the Interpol notice.

Thai police cannot arrest anyone outside their jurisdiction.

But they can track him by checking his social media, following the F 1 circus as well as tracking his private plane(s).

Then, if there really is an Interpol 'red notice' out on him, they can request an arrest.

And if anyone thinks that he has not been back to Thailand, utilising the private family planes in the last 10 or so years, then they are being pretty naive.

 

Instead, we have the 'lets ignore it and eventually it will go away' syndrome.

If the two are found guilty, and do flee the country, I would expect a red notice to be issued because, whereas Boss was not found guilty, they will have been.

A Red Notice was issued for Vorayuth.

There isn't even a Interpol Red Notice seeking his arrest.., one of our readers will argue the point, but facts are facts.

Indeed, facts are facts and a Red notice was issued.  It's there on a Google search for all to see..

They can track him and know his whereabouts but if a police force outside Thailand will not arrest him, for what is a traffic offence, there is nothing that the RTP can do.  A Red notice is nothing more than an advisory notice.

Do they get to keep the bribes?

Surely you cannot be guilty of tampering with evidence without some incentive being given to you to tamper. So, I assume the court knows who bribed these guys (otherwise they wouldn't be able to prove tampering and rather just negligence of duty). Therefore, why isn't anyone else being charged in this case i.e. the people that paid the bribes/"requested" the tampering with evidence?

Everyone gets sentenced to prison except the guy responsible for killing a cop.  That guy just waits out the statutes of limitations and waltzes back to Thailand - laughing - a free man.

Despite the severity of the allegations, the court proceeded to dismiss multiple charges, opting instead to impose selective penalties.

 

Even though the news report here says two former legal officials WERE sentenced to prison, the same news report seems to make NO mention of the outcomes for the former national police chief and several other senior police officials who were all facing charges in the same case... except for the vague reference above to "multiple charge being dismissed."

 

Did the RTP get off scot-free again?

 

Thai justice... the real culprit is still free and some lower ranked are being punished .. The heads of the RTP are dismissed... Money rules surely in Thailand.. The poor and uneducated are being punished, jailed , the rich buy their freedom and innocence.

I wonder which passport he used.

I think they already know that. Ever heard of a camera?

Yea, only a couple of years

Looking at the pictures, and judging by his cowardice, I would doubt he has a good <deleted> in him!

That would be an insult to gay people.

Why would Interpol get involved, if the Thais dropped the case?

I don’t know too much about this case, so it’s a question not an argument

 Guess...

No doubt they will manage to get a hospitality suite in the police hospital for their tenure of their time in  prison a neck brace and a bad back should do the trick !

Thailand needs to learn to expedite justice rather than having cases drag on for years or even decades.

 

Firing squads at dawn could be a useful innovation.

Put an end to this saga. Issue a red notice arrest Boss return him to Thailand and jail. 

That would br a 'wakeUp' call to other Hi So evaders of justice like Thaksin and his cronies.

Just a slap on the hand ... 

 

I wonder if he's got minders at his side 24/7.

now that a judge has confirmed corruption involved in some of the charges, those charges should be allowed to start all over with the correct facts. Statue of limitations to start onwards from the date of the court decision.

remind me what the statute of limitations is for this one, again please?

These convictions are linked to their involvement in tampering with evidence in a case that has captivated public attention and raised serious concerns about judicial transparency in Thailand.

But will the culprit ever go to jail.... so why bother.

Thai RTP raise a Red Notice from Interpol, who post the notice to member countries, these countries can then detain the wanted person.

I don't think the offence is actually listed, on a Red Notice, though I haven't checked for some time, though I do have a copy, on my PC, of the latest notice, that was never actually seen on the Interpol site, it might have been withdrawn immediately after being issued... You have seen the copy.

If they were serious, they would change the law to stop all statute of limitations from tolling while someone is avoiding court by fleeing/residing in a foreign country.

In a significant development in the decade-long saga of the 2012 fatal hit-and-run case involving Red Bull heir Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya, a former deputy attorney general has been sentenced to three years in prison, while a former senior public prosecutor received a two-year sentence. These convictions are linked to their involvement in tampering with evidence in a case that has captivated public attention and raised serious concerns about judicial transparency in Thailand.

I guess they had to put someone in prison. But they still have not managed to get the Red Bull kid. Even a red notice supposedly issued failed to get him captured. Transparency only exists in what they want you to see. There is no forthcoming real transparency.

10 yrs to get to this stage, now sentenced so goes to appeal for God knows how many years, what a out there state pensions are they stopped because the corruption happened while in office? Not seeing anything about why they went to this effort to keep red bull heir out of jail, who paid them? Will profits from the crime be seized by the state? 

 

Thailand where justice is as clear as mud
