webfact Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Red Bull heir Boss tight lipped in London about return to Thailand Boss's bodyguards try to stop reporters in London BANGKOK: -- Jet setting fugitive Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya was pictured at an address in London on Wednesday. The playboy Red Bull heir wanted in connection with the death of a policeman in Bangkok five years ago refused to answer reports questions about whether he would to return to Thailand later this month to face prosecutors. Thai Rath said that AP reporters also asked him what he was doing in London to which they also got no reply. His lawyers had told prosecutors in Bangkok last week that he had business to attend to in London and thus did not show for a hearing. The hearing has been put back to April 27th, the latest of four major delays in the case that has rumbled on for 5 years. Boss, now 31, was driving his Ferrari when he allegedly hit and dragged Vichian Klanprasert, 47, under the wheels of his car without stopping. He is wanted for alleged negligent driving causing death and fleeing the scene of an accident. The grandson of the co-founder of the energy drinks empire Red Bull, Boss has been jet setting all over the world in his private plane. Prosecutors in Bangkok have said that no more excuses for non-attendance will be made on April 27th when a formal warrant for his arrest is expected to be issued.

Wilsonandson Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 This is all a show paid for by Daddy. Arrest warrant! 555 When your the heir to Billions of Dollars no one can touch you. Some one in Thailand very powerful wants a bribe. If Boss returns and gets off on a technicality then you know the bribe has been paid. Now how's the government budget doing?

What makes you think that the bribes haven't already been paid? (Need to pay off everyone who is possibly involved. It only takes one malcontent to screw everything up.) That was probably the first business he too care of as soon as he sobered up after his deadly act. Edited April 6, 2017 by jaltsc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasset Tak Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Thai people should refuse to follow the new traffic laws about traveling on pickups until he is convicted and in jail so that the Thai police and Justice show that all people must follow the law.

bheard Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Maybe a heavy duty campaign on Brit social media could be enuf to shame him into coming home. Then again, he's got no sense of shame, so that wouldn't work. Sent from my F3116 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champers Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The press can hound someone without fear of interference in the West. Boss may find his travel options limited; he may now be scared of stepping out of his front door. Showing off on social media could be his downfall.

Not really considering there IS NO warrant out for his arrest- why do people make this crap up? The last thing a guy like this wants is loss of face- far more important than a trial or lack of. People should door stop him in London and embarrass him- his minders can only do so much if people are on the Public Highway. In the pub or club- 'oh, you're the guy who killed a cop in Bangkok aren't you?' he'd soon move on . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why has everybody forgotten that within 5 minutes he had another person who claimed he was the driver during the accident? He should just get rid of this, go to Thailand and go see the judge..after that his name is clean and he can enjoy his money/life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alocacoc Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) From the CNBC article: Often when people don't show up for court, police or prosecutors collaborate to ask the court for an arrest warrant. That hasn't happened. British historian Chris Baker, who with his Thai wife, Pasuk Phongpaichit, has written extensively about inequality, wealth and power in Thailand, said he wasn't surprised Vorayuth hasn't been prosecuted. Unbelievable. Edited April 6, 2017 by alocacoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately our Immigration guidelines for refusing entry does not cover those evading justice in another country, though I think missed court appearances on manslaughter charges should be a good reason to refuse entry or cancel any visa he has but without a revision of our guidelines to the UK immigration officers this is not going to happen.

As an F1 fan I had a 'soft spot' for Red Bull Racing' - it took the latest news about the heir avoiding court yet again for it to finally 'sink in' and properly connect the heir with Red Bull .

Obviously it was never the intention to catch him. However, the police have not issued a warrant for Yoovidhya's arrest and he has not yet been formally indicted. http://www.dw.com/en/red-bull-heir-snubs-thai-court-in-hit-and-run-case/a-38204169 Watch this. major newspapers around the world are reporting about.
