A court in Thailand on Tuesday convicted two former prosecutors for misconduct in connection with a high-profile hit-and-run case involving the fugitive heir to the Red Bull energy drink empire. Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya, the grandson of the late Thai billionaire Chaleo Yoovidhya who created the Red Bull energy drink, is accused of crashing his Ferrari into a policeman in 2012 and dragging his body under the vehicle for more than 100 metres (328 feet) before fleeing. A former deputy attorney-general who oversaw Vorayuth's, case, Net Naksuk, and another prosecutor were sentenced to three and two years respectively on Tuesday after being found guilty of misconduct in helping Vorayuth avoid prosecution and deciding not to indict him.
