Spokesperson of the Office of the Attorney General Prayuth Bejraguna, left, talks to Director General of Department of Thonburi Criminal Litigation Poramate Intarachumnum during a press conference in Bangkok, Thailand, Tuesday, Aug, 4, 2020. An Attorney General special committee suggested that the charge of causing death by reckless driving against Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya, heir to the Red Bull energy drink company, might be restored after a re-examination of the evidence. Prosecutors dropped that charge late last month, igniting a fresh uproar over a case that critics say highlights the impunity wealthy Thais enjoy. - AP
BANGKOK, Aug 4 (Reuters): The heir to the Red Bull energy drink fortune was believed to have been driving much faster than initially thought when he was involved in a fatal hit-and-run in 2012, a prosecution spokesman said on Tuesday, in a case that has stirred anger in Thailand.
Vorayuth Yoovidhya was accused of crashing his Ferrari into policeman Wichien Klanprasert and dragging his body for dozens of metres before fleeing the scene.
