Overview

• Thai prosecutors announce charges against a former national police chief for aiding Red Bull heir Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya in evading justice after a fatal 2012 hit-and-run.
• Vorayuth, accused of killing a Bangkok police officer with his Ferrari, has led a globetrotting lifestyle despite legal threats, including an Interpol Red Notice.
• The case highlights Thailand's culture of impunity for the wealthy, with several officials accused of conspiring to help Vorayuth flee.
• Vorayuth's family, founders of the Red Bull brand, compensated the victim's family, but most charges have expired due to the statute of limitations.
• The Attorney General's office will also indict seven others, including police officers and a lawyer, in connection with the case.
