Heir to Red Bull fortune facing arrest warrant over 'hit-and-run' death of Bangkok policeman

Thai prosecutors are to ask police to issue an arrest warrant for an heir to the Red Bull fortune if he does not turn up to face charges over an alleged hit-and-run that killed a police officer almost five years ago, officials said.

Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya has been a no-show for meetings with prosecutors on several occasions, complaining through his lawyer of unfair treatment or citing duties abroad.
