Clarify Red Bull heir charge drop, Thai police urged

A NOTED academic urged Thailand’s police and the Office of Attorney General to clarify reasons for dropping a criminal charge against a fugitive heir to energy drink giant Red Bull.

Thammasat University’s deputy rector Prinya Thaewanarumitkul called on the police and the Office of the Attorney General to justify their decision to drop the charge of reckless driving, which caused death of a police officer and was earlier filed against Vorayuth Yoovidhya, son of Red Bull energy drink manufacturer Chalerm Yoovidhya.
