The police spokesman confirmed that the red notice for "Boss Yoovidhya" remains valid and is still in Interpol's database, although it is not publicly disclosed. Meanwhile, the Immigration Bureau has found no record of his return to Thailand.
On 1 Sep 2026 GMT+7, Police Lieutenant General Trirong Phiwpan, Deputy Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police and spokesman for the Royal Thai Police, addressed the status of the red notice for Worayuth, also known as “Boss Yoovidhya.” He stated that the red notice is currently active and the information remains in Interpol’s database. Interpol red notices come in two forms: one that can be publicly disclosed, and another kept internally within Interpol’s system to maintain confidentiality and assist member countries in tracking wanted individuals.
"We confirm that Worayuth's information remains in Interpol's database; however, this data can only be accessed by police officers from member countries and is not available to the general public," he said.
The police spokesman explained that the absence of the red notice in public records does not mean it has been canceled. Worayuth’s status remains in Interpol’s database to support international police efforts to locate him in accordance with member countries’ processes. A check with the Immigration Bureau found no records of Worayuth traveling back into Thailand.
The spokesman also stated that disciplinary actions against the original police officers involved in handling the case and assisting in altering evidence have been completed. The disciplinary investigations conducted by the Police Inspector General’s Office and the Royal Thai Police have concluded, with cases forwarded to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC). Supervisors have issued disciplinary sanctions—including reprimands, salary deductions, or detention—according to the severity of the misconduct, applying penalties to all involved officers fully and appropriately.
