Prosecutors issued an arrest warrant for Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya today after he failed to show up and hear charges against him.
Vorayuth, nicknamed “Boss”, left Thailand on Thursday for a business trip, said his lawyer, and was unable to travel back to hear the charges against him.
“He suddenly fell ill which made it impossible for him to travel back today,” said lawyer Tanit Buakeaw, adding that Vorayuth planned to return to Thailand within three days and would cooperate with prosecutors.
Vorayuth, 28, is accused of being behind the wheel of his Ferrari sports car when it collided with an on-duty policeman in the early hours of September 3, 2012, AP reported.
