Prosecutor backtracks on bringing red bull heir to court
By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter


The Ferrari that killed officer Wichian Klanprasert at Vorayuth Yoovidhaya’s family home as police found it Sept. 3, 2012.

BANGKOK — Four years after billionaire Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya killed a police officer with his Ferrari, and a month after he failed to turn himself in again, the case is again receding from view without so much as an arrest warrant issued.

Although a prosecutor announced in May when Vorayuth failed to appear without reason once again that he would seek a warrant for the arrest of the grandson of Red Bull founder Chaleo Yoovidhya, a spokesman for the Attorney General said Tuesday he has no memory of that statement.

Of course he doesn't remember... lots of incoming baht can have that affect on a man. I'd pay to see the horrible little squirt banged up. Got one of those slappable faces.

Miserable, gutless little bag of <deleted> will evade all attempts to reign him in and instead hide behind his family's disgusting arrogance until 2027. Of course; the Thai's will have neatly forgotten all about his crimes by then and all history of the matter will be erased as if nothing ever happened. I hope Karma gets this low life in the end.

[Rayk]

So we can expect with 100% certainty that the prosecutors office will thoroughly go after Vorayuth on December 30th 2027.

Says it all about the Thai legal system! One word Appalling!!

[candide]

In the linked article it is written that Vorayuths family filed a complaint of unfair treatment against the prosecutors office. Because prosecution has been maintained, unlike what has been usually the case with other members of very rich families?

Obvious case of discrimination!

[Pib]

Funny how proposing arrest against the rich and prominent causes memory loss and extreme slowness.

[jamesbrock]

Absolutely shameless.

That these people have the gall to continue in their positions when it is patently obvious that they have zero intention of bringing the lowlife to justice beggars belief.

That the PM can stand by watching this farce unfold so publicly and so obviously corruptly, without even entertaining the possibility that this is what really tarnishes the image of Thailand, just proves the type of person he is.

I've often wondered how many of these governmental scumbags would be left if seppuku wasn't confined to Japan, but it's all too apparent that they simply have no shame.

[Winniedapu]

The Attorney-General needs to resign and commit suicide for being a useless appendage.

This is just shameful, pass it to the star chamber, they;ll fix it.

[worgeordie]

No even charged yet !, they must be waiting until the statute of limitations runs out.

an utter disgrace.

I just had to post a picture of the little toad, to brighten your evening

[iReason]

4 years.

And only 11 more years of holiday in Singapore. And elsewhere...

Sounds like a plan.

“He said this? When?” Somnuek Siangkong said when asked about statements made at a May 25 news conference by lead prosecutor Suthi Kittisupaporn."

You did. May 29:

"With public attention again focused on high-profile cases of wealthy children escaping justice, Lt. Somnuek Siangkong vowed that Vorayuth, now 31,

will one day be tried for the 2012 death of Bangkok police officer Wichian Klanprasert."

Thai justice or lack of it. Bloody disgraceful.

Many large envelopes have been passed out to get them to forget what statements were made.

Money speaks here, a poor man gets jailed for stealing fruit.

A rich brat gets to jet around the world and is untouchable until the statute of limitations expires.

The Thai government wonder why they are becoming a laughing stock.

[kotsak]

SOB!

[waldroj]

Yet another example of Thailand's two-tier justice system (where the rich and infamous seem to be able to thumb their noses at the law with impunity).

According to this Khaosod English article, although it was reported in May that a prosecutor (Suthi Kittisupaporn) said he would seek a warrant for the arrest of Yoovidhya, we now find that (according to an Attorney General spokesman), Kittisupaporn has no memory of "that statement" (probably as a result of too much Red Bull).

When asked about what Kittisupaporn had said, this spokesman (Somnuek Siangkong) replied “He said this? When?”

The only positive out of this report is that the statute of limitations for the fatal reckless driving charge won’t expire until 2027!

Without being too optimistic, one hopes this gives Thailand's Attorney General enough time to eventually hold Yoovidhya (and other offenders of his ilk - http://news.nationalpost.com/news/bangkoks-deadly-rich-kids-thailand-outraged-when-driver-walks-away-without-charges-after-fatal-crash) truly accountable for their actions.

Pity the whole police department does go out in protest at this injustice .

I know I know but to lose one of yours so called brothers in arms to a spoilt protected scumbag like this is just disgusting .

No, they don't wonder, they just have no idea that they are a laughing stock

[kannot]

I sometimes wonder what it will take for the Thais who are decent to rise up and give it this lot right up the jacksy!

Of course teaching them the hierarchy from birth and drumming it in with force at birth doesnt help.

'they', including the twerp perp, will all claim insanity

u can remove the word "becoming"

[tifino]

the quickest, surest way for the BIB to get the little runt behind bars: is to get him on something L.M.

as we already know - they don't need to prove that...

[tomacht8]

Speeding at 120 km / h through Bangkok.
Obviously under drug influence.
Kill with hit and run a motorcyclist.
Grind the victim still quite a distance.
Fail to give first aid assistance.
Then the driver flees.
Lying to police and tried to sell his butler as the accident driver.
Proven false testimony in an investigation.

Four years and still no arrest warrant!!!
All ideals of justice are ridiculed here.
Big shame for the justice system.

I used to be a bail bondsman in the USA. Pay me and I will hunt this rat down and drag him back to Thailand. I've collected much, much worse garbage than him.

Of course, once he was back here, he still wouldn't stand trial.

Money talks. Always.

Bear in mind once you get him back to Thailand,they will want to see your work permit.

[edwinchester]

Wasn't there a movie, years ago, about a group of people, judges?, who meted out punishments on those who escaped judicial judgement?

I should add my post was a joke. Without the proper authority, it would be kidnapping.

Wonder where the good PM stands on this case. He sticks his nose into everything else, may as well run his lip service about this case and *try* to do something about it.

[seajae]

so much for ending corruption under the general, this will make him a laughing stock, he is rapidly losing the support for the lack of justice being done to monks and the hi so corrupt people and murderers. Maybe they can start a new tourism advertising campaign for the rest of the world to come to Thailand and do whatever you please as long as you are wealthy, run over police, kill not so well off people, steal land and money all with no jail time, I am sure they will attract all the scum of the earth to go with the wealthy scum that is already here.
