Thailand’s prime minister has responded to growing public furor by ordering a probe into the dropping of criminal charges against a Thai heir to the Red Bull energy drink fortune accused of killing a policeman in a hit-and-run accident eight years ago.

Thailand’s prime minister responded Wednesday, July 29, 2020, to growing public furor by ordering a probe into the dropping of criminal charges against the Thai heir to the Red Bull energy drink fortune accused of killing a policeman in a hit-and-run accident eight years ago.
Vorayuth, better known by the nickname “Boss,” was wanted in connection with the Sept. 3, 2012, accident that occurred when his Ferrari struck and killed motorcycle policeman Sgt. Maj. Wichean Klunprasert. The investigation ordered by Prayuth is one of several sparked by the dropping of a charge against Vorayuth of causing death by reckless driving. The charge would not have expired until 15 years after the date of the crash.
After the 2012 accident, Vorayuth’s lawyers managed to repeatedly put off any court appearances until April 2017, when a warrant was finally issued for his arrest a few days after he had left the country. His Thai passports were later revoked.
