BANGKOK -- Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday told the press that he had already instructed authorities to seek help from Interpol to nab Red Bull scion Vorayuth Yoovidhya and have him extradited to Thailand to stand trial in the high-profile hit-and-run case that took place eight years ago.

"Please rest assured that there is fairness in the Thai judicial system," said Prayut. "Interpol had already been informed and will issue a Red Notice to the suspect to have him provisionally arrested and held, and later sent back to Thailand to face charges." (Thailand-Red Bull Scion-Extradition)
