Red Bull Heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya, Grandson of the late Chaleo Yoovidhya, was arrested earlier this week for his involvement in a hit-and-run accident that left a police officer dead. It’s alleged that Yoovidhya struck 47-year-old Sgt Maj Wichean Glanprasert with his Ferrari FF, dragging him along the street causing a broken neck and multiple broken bones. The police followed a petrol trail to Yoovidhya’s Bangkok home and detained the 27-year-old.

It’s alleged that the Yoovidhya struck the officers motorcycle from behind at speeds approaching 200km/h, killing him instantly. The lower ranking officer originally assigned to the case is reported to have arrested the wrong person initially, in an attempt to cover up the true perpetrator. However, Police Chief Lt Gen Comronwit Toopgrajank took over the case and arrested the correct suspect.

It has been confirmed that police charged Yoovidhya with drunk driving, however, his lawyer’s released a statement alledging that he was not drunk driving and had instead consumed alcohol at home after the accident. He had already been charged with causing death by reckless driving after admitting to being the driver of the car.

Vorayuth Yoovidhya’s grandfather, Chaleo Yoovidhya was one of the founding partners of the energy drink company Red Bull. At the time of his death in March this year, Chaleo was listed as the third-richest person in Thailand, with an estimated net worth of $5 billion. The Yoovidhya family also co-owns the sole authorized importer of Ferrari cars in Thailand.

If found guilty Vorayuth Yoovidhya could face over ten years in prison, although the case has sparked a debate about the leniency offered by Thailand’s judicial system towards those with money or connections.

  1. The world runs on perpetual motion from consciousness which generates emotions which of course is energy which is what runs and sustains our world and the universes workings so as to sustain life, long story as to how it sustained itself (universe) prior to mankind.

    The energy quantity/quality for a reason (another long story) is of a different quality being higher that generates from mourning (longer story), being similar to that of getting 10 for the price of one (more like 1000+ for the price of one).

    For those that know of the system and know how to read it you can determine time location cause of a giv’n death to those at the height of the Hermetics industrie.

    There is and has been a system for some time so as to keep generating the higher quality energy from mourning so as to sustain life, the area takes these people a side and shows them the system what is to happen, they range from the poor to the rich, the people are tak’n to location(s), so as to study the minds workings this puts back to the system of consciousness from the so called deceased. Of course being still alive…

    Alot of so called incidents are pre-arranged and then played out by individuals. ALOT!

    Cheating the system (cornering it)..get the energy and get them to develope the minds workings as a part/whole…

    More bang for ya buck ($$$)!

  2. Come on peoples play nice, and please keep your height of consciounsess (intelligence) being your opionions to yourself..
