BANGKOK — Interpol has issued a “red notice” to arrest the fugitive Thai heir to the Red Bull billions for his role in a fatal hit-and-run, police said Sunday. The move by the international police organization is the latest in the years-long saga surrounding Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya who crashed his Ferrari in 2012, killing a police officer. National Police deputy spokesman Colonel Kissana Phathanacharoen confirmed Sunday a red notice – Interpol’s most urgent alert – was issued earlier this week. “We have to do whatever it takes to… ultimately bring him back to the country because it is a serious crime.”A red notice for Vorayuth had not been published on the Interpol website as of Sunday afternoon. The clan of Red Bull co-founder Chaleo Yoovidhya is Thailand’s second richest, boasting a fortune estimated at $20.2 billion according to Forbes.
