Coss Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Corruption, conspiracy in ‘Boss’ case: Inquiry report An independent inquiry ordered by PM Prayut Chan-o-cha has concluded that corruption and conspiracy by investigators likely helped Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya escape charges over a fatal hit-and-run crash in 2012. Prayut today vowed to take action against at least 10 individuals implicated in the report handed to him by the Vicha Mahakun-led inquiry. The 10 are said to include both police officers and prosecutors. The PM also told press that a fact-finding panel would be set up to investigate five points highlighted by Vicha’s panel. Announcing the report, Vicha confirmed widespread suspicion that the case had been tainted by corruption and a conspiracy to get Red Bull scion Vorayuth off the hook.,, https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30393854?utm_source=homepage&utm_medium=internal_referral Ya think? Actually it appears that the authorities, are now handling this, in a transparent and above-board manner. That just feels so wrong.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Thailand seeks Red Bull heir extradition after Interpol 'red notice' By Reuters Staff BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai police said on Monday they would seek the extradition of the fugitive heir to the Red Bull energy drink fortune, after Interpol issued a global “red notice” seeking his arrest over a deadly hit-and-run. Vorayuth Yoovidhya, whose whereabouts are unknown, was accused of crashing his Ferrari into a policeman in 2012 and dragging his body at high speed before fleeing the scene. The issue has generated big interest in Thailand, amid simmering outrage about perceived impunity for the wealthy and connected. Police spokesman Kissana Phathanacharoen said Interpol issued the notice last week after a Thai court in August approved an arrest warrant for reckless driving causing death and a new charge of drug use. He said Interpol’s members would help establish his whereabouts, “so that he can be formally extradited back to us for further legal action”. Vorayuth missed eight court summonses before authorities sought his arrest in 2017. He later disappeared and in July this year, anger erupted on social media when news broke that his case had been dropped, sparking calls for a boycott of Red Bull products. Vorayuth is a grandson of the late Chaleo Yoovidhya, who created the energy drink Krating Daeng, or Red Bull, and co-founded the international Red Bull GmbH brand with an Austrian partner. The new warrant followed a review of evidence previously not included in police reports, which suggested Vorayuth’s car was travelling faster than previously thought, and that the suspect’s blood test indicated cocaine use. Neither Vorayuth nor the immediate Yoovidhya family have commented on the charges. TCP Group, which owns the Thai Red Bull brand, said in July it is run by Vorayuth’s uncle and not directly associated with Vorayuth, whose father has part ownership in the international brand.

Coss Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Thai police say that the red notice will take a couple of days to appear on the Interpol red notice web site, leading to conjecture that there is no red notice for the Red Bull Brat... And even if you search, just for Thai nationality, on the Interpol website, there are only 12 Thai entries and none for the Red Bull twat. https://www.interpol.int/en/How-we-work/Notices/View-Red-Notices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 New oversight committee chair vows to review Red Bull heir case By Neill Fronde FILE PHOTO: Red Bull heir "Boss" may face new prosecution under new committee chief. Phachorn Yutthithamdamrong is the new chairman of a committee that oversees Thailand’s public prosecutors and he has set his sights on an infamous 2012 case involving the grandson of the co-founder of the Red Bull empire. Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya fled Thailand years ago but has never been prosecuted after allegedly killing a police officer while drunk and speeding in the incident. Boss has been accused of running over the police sergeant with his Ferrari and dragging the body along Sukhumvit road in Thong Lor, the hi-so playground of Bangkok, in September of 2012. He disappeared from Thailand 5 years later in 2017 and his location is officially unknown, though he has cropped up at Formula One races around the world over the years, and has been spotted in London by the Thai media. Interpol has issued a Red Notice for Boss, but his lack of prosecution has often been seen as a black eye for justice in Thailand, with many in the country still looking back on the case as another example of the rich living by their own rules above the law, when corruption allows them to buy their way out of accountability. The committee intends to look into the Red Bull case to try to build some confidence in the Thai justice system. Phachorn will preside over his first meeting of the oversight committee as the chief on June 9 and vows to reopen the infamous Red Bull investigation along with other suspect cases, promising a “new broom” to sweep out evidence and justice. The chairman plans to rehash all previous evidence with a careful eye. The Thai public meet these vows with cynicism after years of panels on the case have only kicked the can down the road, delaying any formal action again and again. The former deputy chief prosecutor in the case was met with harsh backlash after dropping all charges against the Red Bull heir, freeing him from possible prosecution for the police officer’s death. The outcry was so intense that PM Prayut Chan-o-cha had to step in and reinstate the charges, though the prosecution, again, never moved forward. Phachorn intends to use the committee to reexamine that former deputy chief prosecutor’s role in the bugling of the Red Bull heir’s case. Meanwhile, the jaded public is not holding its breath for justice against the ultra-rich. https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/new-oversight-committee-chair-vows-to-review-red-bull-heir-case Coss comment: "Vow" does not, in the Thai use of the word, mean "Will" or "have started", it means, "I won't" but "would if I could".

Coss Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Another new panel formed to investigate senior officers, prosecutors in “Boss” case. (but only if they don't investigate the “Boss” case itself...) A new panel has been created to investigate 15 senior police officers, investigators, and public prosecutors, accused of mishandling the hit-and-run case against Red Bull heir, Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya. Among those being investigated are 2 police generals and 2 senior police officers. The Bangkok Post reports that all members of the National Anti-Corruption Commission will sit on the newly-created panel. Vorayuth is wanted for a 2012 hit-and-run case in which a Bangkok policeman lost his life. The Red Bull heir managed to evade justice and somehow fled the country. Due to the high-profile nature of the case, the 9 NACC members have been ordered to investigate the mishandling of the case themselves. Watcharapol Prasarnrajkit from the NACC has stressed the need for the investigation to be concluded promptly. The National Anti-Corruption Act stipulates that NACC investigations must be concluded within 2 years, although this can be extended to another year if more time is needed. There are now 2 panels investigating the handling of the case against Vorayuth. The first is a committee formed by the Public Prosecutor Commission, which has already implicated the former deputy attorney-general Nate Naksuk after he decided to drop the charges against the Red Bull heir, a decision that prompted national outrage. https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/another-new-panel-formed-to-investigate-senior-officers-prosecutors-in-boss-case new image of "Boss" who seems to have aged somewhat.
