Interpol to assist in hunt for fugitive ‘Boss’

By The Nation

 

Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya

 

Police will contact Interpol to hunt down fugitive Red Bull heir Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya, whose passport has already been revoked, it was disclosed on Friday.

 

Metropolitan Police Bureau chief Pol Lt-General Sanit Mahathavorn said police had finished almost all the paperwork involved, such as translating the arrest warrant for Interpol to track Vorayuth down.

 

Vorayuth escaped an arrest warrant over the case in which he is accused of a hit-and-run collision in Bangkok that killed a police officer in 2012.

 

Sanit said that, according to the Immigration Bureau, Vorayuth came to Thailand on April 23 and left for Singapore two days later. It is still unclear whether or not he left the city-state.

 

However, following a meeting with the Foreign Affairs Ministry representative and Foreign Affairs Division Police, Sanit said that Vorayuth’s passport had been revoked, while Interpol would help Thai police arrest him if captured outside the country.

If only all the law agencies spoke to each other and worked together. Immigration could have called the police to say he's on his way out of Thailand. Seems like he's off. Police could have asked immigration to pull him aside til they arrive and speak to him. Before anyone says "what about protocols?" - don't be silly. Law enforcement always make it up as they go along. 

 

Of course all of this is moot. They wanted him to leave. Interpol should issue a stern warning to the government here. Next time don't be so feckless and negligent. You've just created work for us for no reason other than deliberate incompetence. 

Dubai.

With all the social connections this character has in Europe and S.E.Asia, it ought to be as difficult to find him as finding an elephant in a zoo. First place, check his motor racing friends, next weekend (14th May), he may be eating Paella in Barcelona with Christian Horner and the Red Bull boys, who knows?

Question is, will his mummy and daddy allow him to be dragged kicking and screaming back to Thailand? The horror.............

talk about closing the gate after the horse has bolted ,or , should that be the bull.?

Well that is where the Mumbai mafia run there business. Money laundering centre as well. All good Muslims

If he is in a country that hasn't signed an extradition treaty with Thailand, then good luck.

 

He has the best legal team money can buy, so I doubt they are much worried about Thai law or the baffoons running the place. If fact, they are counting on them.

I know Thais have problems with present and past tenses. However shouldn't this article read police have contacted Interpol rather than police will? There seems to be a lack of urgency.

this is THE decisive question because depending on the rescue action for mum's, dad's pampered one there might be no more noise before long...

That isn't really intelligent. Matt Daymon!

I'd love for interpol to release proof this is in the pipeline just to get full verification because I'm sorry thailand but words are just words and actions speak much louder and if it is true then fair play and lets put this man before a judge who is a judge for justice not baht. I'm optimistic

If issuing stern warnings was anything to do with Interpol's mandate, what about all the farang alleged and convicted criminals who exit the US, Europe and Australia as police & immigration officials in those countries wave them on their way without hindrance either through incompetence or after receiving "compensation" for their assistance? How often do we hear of Thai police having to arrest these people at the request of foreign governments.

That's the primary purpose of Interpol ... to facilitate communications and data sharing.

They exist to do this work.  If it weren't for the work generated by the need of member countries for information gathering, they'd be unemployed. Their purpose is to serve their member countries, not to issue warnings. Servants don't issue warnings to employers.

 

Quote

INTERPOL’s Mandate The mandate and the primary task of INTERPOL is to support police and law enforcement agencies in its 186 member countries in their efforts to prevent crime and conduct criminal investigations as efficiently and effectively as possible.

I wouldn't even know where to start with you.

 

We live in completely different worlds. 

ring ring...

 

"Interpol, how can I direct your call? Hey its Thailand calling."

"You are joking, right?"

 

Does Interpol even deal with cases of bad driving?

Read my lips      He's gone

Amazing how various "authorities": police, MFA, Thai Interpol are scurrying about making it look like they are doing something.

 

They must be angry - without social media creating pressure they could could just sit back.

Given they have yet to contact Interpol, the authorities are presuming they'll help.

The RTP always works in the future tense.

Until today, the boss does not appear on the Interpol wanted list.

Let me help you.

 

1) Call the following countries, and ask if Vorayuth Yoovidhya or someone with a very similar name has a passport: Antigua & Barbuda, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, Austria, Malta, Cyprus, Russia, St. Lucia, Dominica (all countries where you can buy a second passport with a significant investment).

 

2) If any country in the above list returns a positive match, ask for the passport's travel history.

 

3) Get the last entry he made on that passport.

 

4) Call the authority of the country in #3 above, and ask them to arrest this person. Ask immigration to block exit for this person.

 

5) Collect "Boss" at Suvarnabhumi airport, and bring him to jail.

 

No need to thank me, you're welcome.

If the Thai Government was serious they would have revoked his passport after he returned on April 23. Like one hour after not allowing him to leave.

 

But they are not serious.

So now it is up to Anonymous and CSI LA to bring him to justice.

Why would his new passport use his old name?

I am familiar with the due diligence programs of the above countries and you cannot change name. They request legalized & certified copies of your current passport / birth certificate. On top of that, they perform an intensive due diligence for around 3 months before deciding to grant citizenship to the applicant - precisely for that reason.
