‘If you see Vorayuth, arrest him immediately’: Immigration chief
Immigration chief Pol Lt-General Sompong Chingduang today ordered border checkpoint officers to arrest Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya on sight if he tries to return to Thailand.
The order comes after the court accepted three fresh charges against the Red Bull scion over a 2012 hit-and-run killing: reckless driving causing death, failing to help a victim after a crash, and drug use.
Sompong added that Immigration police have been monitoring developments closely since news in July that the original case against Vorayuth had been dropped.
“I would like to ensure everyone that his warrant has gone into the system,” said Sompong.
“Every immigration checkpoint countrywide got my order. If you see Vorayuth, you arrest him immediately.”
Immigration police are under pressure from national police chief Chakthip Chaijinda to close the case.
Vorayuth fled abroad in 2017 and has since been pictured living a luxury, jet-setting lifestyle.
