En ny utredning har idag delvis presenterats för pressen avseende arvtagaren till Red Bull när han körde ihjäl en polis på fyllan i sin Ferrari.. Inte så mycket nytt egentligen, men man konstaterar att det gjorde mycket fel av polisen och att de avsiktligen fördröjde vissa åtgärder. När man läser om detta case igen blir man lika förbannad som första gången. Polisens konstaterande att han testade positivt för alkohol för att drack efter olyckan på grund av stress...ja vad säger man..

"Flaws and irregularities have been found in the Thong Lor police handling of a 2012 hit-and-run case involving an heir to the Red Bull energy drink empire. The inquiry focused on why Mr Vorayudh could not be indicted before the one-year statute of limitations on his speeding charge expired on Sept 3, 2013. Pol Gen Pongsapat said the several flaws and irregularities were found in Thong Lor officers' handling of the case. He declined to provide details, but said the issue of whether investigators intended to purposefully delay the case is mentioned.
The report also focuses on why police failed to issue an arrest warrant for the suspect before the statute of limitations expired.
Any police officers found to have mishandled the case will face disciplinary action, as well as criminal action if they were involved in malfeasance, Pol Gen Pongsapat said.
The investigators responsible for the case were also criticised for their decision not to charge Mr Vorayudh with drink- driving, a charge that has a statute of limitations of five years. When Mr Vorayudh turned himself in to police, he was tested for alcohol at Samitivej Hospital, close to Thong Lor Police station, instead of the Police General Hospital. His blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit, though police noted in their case files that Mr Vorayudh had only consumed alcohol after the accident due to "stress".
Prosecutors earlier said they had indicted Mr Vorayudh on all three charges, but failed to proceed with the case due to the suspect’s requests for “fair treatment”. A series of petitions by Mr Vorayudh slowed the proceedings.
One day before the statute of limitations for the speeding charge was due to expire on Sept 3, 2013, Mr Vorayudh’s lawyer asked for a postponement on the grounds his client was in Singapore and had fallen ill.
Prosecutors suspected Mr Vorayudh was trying to delay the case and asked police to seek an arrest warrant. But this did not happen because Mr Vorayudh again requested fair treatment"
