snoop1130 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Vorayuth extradition on hold for police documents, says source By The Nation Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya Thonglor Police Station has not yet submitted documents to get Red Bull heir Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya extradited to face charges related to a fatal hit-and-run accident in 2012, a high-level source at the National Police Office (NPO) revealed on Monday. The source provided information in the face of growing criticism over the perceived delay in the extradition of Vorayuth. Vorayuth, a grandson of Red Bull co-founder Chaleo Yoovidhya, is accused of running over and killing a police officer in Bangkok’s Thonglor five years ago. Earlier this year, he slipped out of Thailand to evade prosecution. “The Metropolitan Police Bureau … has not yet submitted documents related to the case to us,” the source said yesterday. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the senior police officer said the extradition process would start only after the English translation of the investigation report reached the hands of the NPO’s Foreign Affairs Division for review. “If all documents are complete and fine, the extradition request will be forwarded to the national police chief to be endorsed. The case will then move forward,” he said. Amnat Chotchai, a senior official at the Attorney General Office’s International Affairs Department, said earlier that he had urged the NPO to urgently submit documents for the extradition. “We have made it clear since our last meeting that police must submit an extradition request. But to date, we have not yet got it,” he said. Born to a billionaire family, Vorayuth is believed to hold passports of several countries. A source said the NPO had already asked 190 other countries to help locate Vorayuth. However, no country has responded.

trainman34014 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Two reasons why the Police have failed to produce the documents.... 1....It is hard to get anyone to do what they have been paid not to do ! 2....A report that big in English is beyond their capabilities as it states more than the usual ''Hello, how are you today'' !

Bobobirdiebuddy Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 What a surprise. You'd think the murder of a fellow police officer would make this trivial requirement moot but as we have found out, often the death of a cop doesn't do much to those in the hierarchy of the police. Just remember the Twenty Club incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) How did the fellow manage to flee the country in the fist place, when he was already a suspect, considering the high level of meticulous harassment done by Immigration Officers on those who enter or exit the country? On the other hand, if he has bought many different nationalities, strong doubt that any extradition would be possible as many western nations do not expulse their own nationals abroad for trials, unless they have a specific treaty that generally works only within the European Union or the USA. Shameful as the life of a fellow police officer, seems to matter little to the top brass of the Thai Police...

hathairat2711 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Pursuit of justice EDITORIALBANGKOK POST EDITORIAL COLUMN Mail Facebook Twitter 18 Jul 2017 at 04:20 NEWSPAPER SECTION: NEWS 571 viewed0 comments Jet-setter fugitives from justice Vorayuth Yoovidhya (left) and ex-monk Wirapol 'Nen Kham' Sukphol: One is free as a bird and the other is ordered extradited back to Thailand. (File photos) Prosecutors and the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) deserve a light round of applause for their pursuit to the United States of the ex-monk previously known as Nen Kham. It must be stressed that as of today, extradition from California is not completely certain. Wirapol Sukphol -- his real name -- still has legal avenues to avoid Thai justice. But pursuing wanted fugitives across international borders is tough work and the Thai team has given hope that Mr Wirapol will be returned home to answer accusations of serious crimes. http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/1289271/pursuit-of-justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibley69 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Why does it have to be translated into English? He is a Thai who killed a Thai in Thailand!!.. if the police need assistance goto the companies by the British Embassy in BKK they do a great 1 hour translation service for about 350 baht.

tomacht8 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 For five years now, it has been more than just refusal to work, misconduct in office, omission, negligence, it is more a targeted sabotage on the constitutional state.

Just remember the Twenty Club incident. I'm sure it hurts the cops to let this youth get away free, no-one likes to see a colleague mown down in the street and the perpetrator roam free as a bird. It was just unfortunate that in this case the person who did the "mowing down" has more status then they do. Unfortunately here in Thailand status as we all know can buy you freedom. The law of the land & courts are not at the top of the tree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
