Hej
Sonen till ägaren av Red Bull körde ihjäl en polis på motorcykel med sin Ferrari och släpade den döde polismannen gatan ned för att sen smita ifrån platsen är fortfarande på fri fot efter 5 år, polisen följde spåren av läckande bromsvätska direkt hem till en av landets rikaste familjer.
Åtalet mot honom hsr fördröjts p.g.a att han inte hsr dykt upp när han har kallats eller så har hans advokater sagt att han är sjuk, upptagen med affärer eller utomlands o.s.v, enligt artikeln är detta ett tecken på att lagen inte är lika för fattiga och rika.
När man läser detta blir man både förbannad och besviken även om detta långt ifrån är ett unikt fall, man tar även upp juntans påstådda kamp mot korruption men den har uppenbarligen inte hjälpt i detta fallet.
In Thailand, a Red Bull heir flies high—despite an alleged hit-and-run

Bangkok — The Ferrari driver who allegedly slammed into a motorcycle cop, dragged him along the road and then sped away from the mangled body took just hours to find, as investigators followed a drip, drip, drip trail of brake fluid up a street, down an alley, and into the gated estate of one of Thailand’s richest families.
The prosecution of Red Bull heir Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya, however, has been delayed for close to five years. The times when Vorayuth has been called in on charges, he hasn’t shown up, claiming through his attorney that he was sick or out of the country on business. And while statutes of limitations run out on key charges this year, it’s been widely assumed that he’s hiding, possibly abroad, or living a quiet local life, only going out in disguise.
He isn’t.
Within weeks of the accident, The Associated Press has found, Vorayuth, then 27, was back to enjoying his family’s jet-set life, largely associated with the Red Bull brand, an energy drink company co-founded by his grandfather. He flies around the world on private Red Bull jets, cheers their Formula One racing team from Red Bull’s VIP seats and keeps a black Porsche Carrera in London with custom license plates: B055 RBR. Boss Red Bull Racing.
Nor is he all that hard to find. Just last month, social media clues led AP reporters to Vorayuth and his family vacationing in the ancient, sacred city of Luang Prabang, Laos. The group stayed at a $1,000-a-night resort, dined in the finest restaurant, visited temples and lounged by the pool before flying home to Bangkok.
Critics say the inertia in the Red Bull heir’s case is just another example of longstanding privilege for the wealthy class in Thailand, a politically tumultuous country that has struggled with rule of law for decades. The military general who came to power in a 2014 coup declared war on corruption, pledging to make Thailand an equal and fair society. But car accidents are frequently cited as an example that injustice persists, with “Bangkok’s deadly rich kids,” as one Thai newspaper described it, often receiving far more lenient sentences than ordinary Thais.
