Public prosecutors say they cannot proceed with the indictment of Red Bull scion Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya on drug charges for allegedly having cocaine in his system during the 2012 hit-and-run case, until police actually arrest him.
Prayuth Petchkhun, deputy spokesman of the Office of the Attorney-General (OAG), updated the media on Wednesday on the OAG's progress in handling the high-profile case.
The pursuit of justice in the case, which claimed the life of police officer Wichian Klanprasert, resumed in September after the OAG decided to indict Mr Vorayuth on two charges -- reckless driving causing death, and cocaine use -- citing fresh evidence and new witnesses.
Previously, the OAG had decided to drop the reckless driving charge against Mr Vorayuth, a move which sparked public outrage.
A source said the National Anti-Corruption Commission has started working with the Anti-Money Laundering Office to determine if there had been payments made to people linked to the mishandling of the Boss case.
