Justice imperilled by oversight voidIn this 2012 file photo, police officers inspect the luxury car involved in the notorious hit-and-run case involving Vorayuth 'Boss' Yoovidhya. Boss is still safe and sound and lives a good life abroad beyond the reach of the law in Thailand. Critics have argued that illegally earned money should mean money earned from illegal activities such as prostitution, money laundering or illegal gambling. Because the acquittal verdict was not unanimous, it would have been sensible for the prosecutors to appeal to the higher court. No explanation was given to the public by the OAG because, in the realm of public prosecutors, their discretion is beyond scrutiny.
