Срок давности по делу наследника Red Bull истекает: Интерпол подтверждает активность международного розыска

Long time readers will be shaking their heads as the police have reportedly made new statements regarding the case of Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya, of the Red Bull family that has long been at or near the top of Thailand’s wealthiest. Almost 15 years ago, Vorayuth allegedly with a nose full of cocaine and speeding in his Ferrari, ran over a cop and fled, dragging the soon to be dead cop along. With the connivance of officials and others, he escaped prosecution and went into hiding. That was a bit of a farce as even journalists could track him down. But not the compromised police and prosecutors. Over the years, despite protestations that justice would be done, it hasn’t. Various of the charges have expired, a few low-ranked conspirators have been jailed, but the culprit continues to live the high life on the lam. We recall that in 2022, the military-based regime’s chief legal huckster and Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam babbled about authorities stepping up efforts to locate the rich fugitive and bring back to face punishment. His exact words were: “Authorities will use all means and channels available and work with other countries to bring him to justice…”. But the stalling, bribery, influence, looking away, and doing nothing continued. Now, Thaiger’s social media reports that “Thailand’s police spokesman confirmed on September 2 that Vorayuth Yoovidhya’s Red Notice remains active in Interpol’s database.” He was responding to astonishment that Vorayuth’s name had been removed from Interpol’s Red Notices. The police spokesperson went on to explain that the “notice is currently restricted to authorised law enforcement users rather than publicly searchable, with police saying limited public access does not mean cancellation.” In fact, the majority of Red Notices remain inside secure police databases for the use of national and international authorities. But this answer does not convince skeptics who see this situation as just another stalling cover-up. “Justice” for the rich is a commodity like any other. Update: Thai Examiner reports that “[t]he clock is running out on Red Bull heir Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya…. His last remaining criminal charge expires on September 3, 2027.”
