A new update on that rotten little fuck: [Red Bull scion notice disappears from Interpol website](https://www.bangkokpost.com/news/crime/1428795/red-bull-scion-notice-disappears-from-interpol-website) **“The Interpol ‘Red Notice’ for Red Bull scion Vorayuth ‘Boss’ Yoovidhya, a hit-and-run suspect wanted by Thailand, has disappeared from the Interpol website.”** Funny that. But hold on! Another development: [Interpol’s red notice for Red Bull heir ‘still in force’](https://www.bangkokpost.com/news/general/1429443/interpols-red-notice-for-red-bull-heir-still-in-force) **“Police deputy spokesman Kritsana Pattanacharoen insisted on Friday that Interpol’s ‘red notice’ for hit-and-run fugitive and Red Bull scion Vorayuth Yoovidhya is still in force, despite vanishing from the Interpol website.”** Phew! That’s a relief. I’m sure he’ll be picked up any day now. ---

Do these wealthy Thai murderers who escape prosecution ever end up killed by their victims’ families? ---

Are we sure the spokesman didn’t say “…still in **farce**.”? ---

> [@Human\_Action](#): > > Do these wealthy Thai murderers who escape prosecution ever end up killed by their victims’ families? No, usually the families are paid enough to keep quiet and forget about it. One well-publicized awkward case though is when a wealthy and connected brat murdered a cop in cold blood and got away with it. He himself became a cop, then later the murdered cop’s son grew up to become a cop and was assigned to the same headquarters as the murderer. That must have resulted in some tension. ---

Still hot on the little shit’s trail. Golly gosh, they’ll get him arrested any day now. Uh-huh, yessirree bob: [Red Bull scion still on radar, says OAG](https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2071363/red-bull-scion-still-on-radar-says-oag) ---

So now they’re forming a committee to see how the little bastard has managed to escape justice so far: [NACC to sit on scion sleaze body](https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2144515/nacc-to-sit-on-scion-sleaze-body). They have two years to figure it out, extendable by another year. Hmm, I don’t think I need nearly that long to figure it out myself. ---
