Police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda and Vorayuth 'Boss' Yoovidhya (inset): No reason to delay extradition request, but there is a lot of paperwork. Pol Gen Chakthip insisted Thursday that police were doing their best to pursue the hit-and-run case against Mr Vorayuth, adding the translation of the extradition request is complete. He made his comment after the Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB) last week sent the extradition request to the Royal Thai Police (RTP) Foreign Affairs division for its approval. The extradition request will later be forwarded to the OAG in a bid to have Mr Vorayuth stand trial in Thailand. However, he admitted the previous delay in translating the extradition request resulted from misunderstandings between the MPB and the division.
