Warrant for Red Bull heir

Vorayuth Yoovidhya is identified in the article as a 28-year-old heir of the creator of the drink Red Bull. Thai authorities are seeking him in connection with a fatal hit-and-run.

The article says he is accused of being behind the wheel of his Ferrari when it collided with a policeman in the early hours of September 3 last year. He failed to show up to hear charges, and authorities are set to issue an arrest warrant.

According to the article, an arrest warrant is being issued because the heir did not appear to hear criminal charges related to the fatal hit-and-run incident.

The article states the incident was a fatal hit-and-run in which a Ferrari allegedly collided with a policeman on September 3 last year. It also reports that the Yoovidhya family paid the victim’s family US$97,000 after the accident.

The article links the accused to the creator of Red Bull and notes the family is one of Thailand’s wealthiest. For everyday investors, that association could raise reputational concerns — it’s sensible to monitor media coverage and any official statements from the family or companies connected to them.

No. The article only refers to the heir and the creator of the drink Red Bull; it does not state whether Red Bull or related businesses are publicly listed.

Based on the article, investors should watch for the actual issuance of the arrest warrant, any court proceedings, official statements from the Yoovidhya family, and further media updates. These developments could influence reputational risk for businesses associated with the family.

The article reports the Yoovidhya family paid US$97,000 to the victim’s family after the accident. Investors should note that payment was made, but the article does not say this settled legal matters, so ongoing legal outcomes and disclosures remain important to monitor.
