The alleged handling of the 2012 dangerous hit-and-run situation involving Red Bull heir Vorayuth” Boss” Yoovidhya has been set for a seven-month test time by the Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct situations.
On Tuesday, all eight accused made their not-guilty requests, including former federal police captain Pol Gen Somyot Poompanmoung and former assistant attorney-general Nate Naksuk.
The main problem is the change in the noted rate of Mr. Vorayuth’s Ferrari, which they have been indicted on a number of fees, including dereliction of duty. This caused his trial for reckless driving, which resulted in a fatality, to be thrown out.
Due to the high level of common interest in the case, the court claimed during Tuesday’s hearing that the trial period had been set for seven months rather than the customary one time. Additionally, it urged all parties to completely follow the schedule to ensure a quick test and said it would ensure justice to all parties.
The accused, their attorneys, and lawyers were also instructed by the court to abstain from conducting press interviews that might have an impact on public opinion and the decision-making process until the trial is over.
The prosecution ‘ data submitted to the judge included 30, 000 pages of documents, 21 personal testimony and plastic testimony. Dec. 3 is when the facts exam is scheduled to begin.
The eight defendants were arraigned on Aug 29 after the National Anti-Corruption Commission ( NACC ) concluded the hit-and-run case was grossly mishandled.
The jury bailed the eight plaintiffs, but forbids them from leaving the country unless otherwise ordered by the court.
In the Thong Lor neighborhood of Bangkok, Mr. Vorayuth crashed his Ferrari into a scooter driven by Pol Snr. Maj. Wichian Klanprasert in the first days of September 3, 2012.
Instead of stopping to help the victim, Mr Vorayuth, then in his early 20s, drove off, dragging the defendant’s body for approximately 200 yards, without informing specialists about what he had done later.
Following a longer research, three charges were pressed against him, but he has not been brought to justice. He fled the country in 2017 after constantly omitting his court appearance.
After its one-year statute of limitations expired in 2013, the defendant was charged with failing to assist an incident prey, which expired in 2017.
The last remaining charge against Mr Vorayuth, causing death by foolish driving, carries a sentence of up to 10 years in jail, and expires in 2027.
