(2004) HELSINKI (Reuters) - One of Finland's richest men has been fined a record 170,000 euros (1,785,000 yuan) for speeding through the center of the capital, police said on Tuesday.
Jussi Salonoja, 27, heir to his family's sausage business, was caught driving 80 km per hour in a 40 kmph zone on February 5th, the police said.
Finnish traffic fines vary with the offender's income and, according to tax office data, Salonoja's 2002 earnings were close to seven million euros. The final penalty could still change when the case is eventually heard by a Helsinki court, as was the case with Nokia executive Anssi Vanjoki, whose 116,000-euro speeding fine was slashed by 95 percent in 2002 due to a drop in income.
If Salonoja's penalty stands, it will beat a speeding fine of more than 80,000 euros paid by internet millionaire Jaakko Rytsola in 2000, and the 35,000-euro fine imposed on Nokia President Pekka Ala-Pietila in 2001 for running a red light.
赫爾辛基：一芬蘭富翁因超速駛過首都市中心而被罰的款額為創(chuàng)記錄的17萬歐元(約178.5萬元人民幣),警方于周二宣布了此事。27歲的尤西·薩羅諾亞是其家族香腸企業(yè)的繼承人,2月5日他在限速40公里的地區(qū)以80公里速度行駛而被扣。
芬蘭的交通罰款因違規(guī)者的收入而異,根據(jù)稅務(wù)局資料,薩羅諾亞在2002年的收入近700萬歐元。此案經(jīng)赫爾辛基法院最后聽證后,最終罰款的數(shù)額可能有所變動,就像諾基亞部門經(jīng)理安西·瓦紐基的案子那樣,他因超速被罰11.6萬歐元,但由于在2002年其收入降低,罰款額劇減了95%。
如果薩羅諾亞的罰款不變,這一數(shù)字將超過因特網(wǎng)百萬富翁亞果·呂策列在2000年所交的超速罰款8萬多歐元,以及諾基亞總裁百嘎·阿拉·比耶第拉在2001年因闖紅燈所付的35000歐元。
