Swiss court fines speeding millionaire $290,000

[Ran]

Reason he got charged so much is because he was "a repeating offender".

Not according to this...

Judges at the cantonal court in St. Gallen, in eastern Switzerland, based the record-breaking fine on the speeder's estimated wealth of over $20 million.

Looks like they based it purely on his income to make a quick buck for the powers that be and that isn't right.
