Hell Of A Fine For Porsche Drink Driver

A Porsche-driving digital economy investment expert has been hit with a huge £32,000-plus fine after being caught behind the wheel while over the drinks limit.

Jan Helle, 45, a partner with ArmaPartners, based at The Shard, received the penalty after his income was calculated.

He appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court where he pleaded guilty to driving the black three-litre car in Dell Walk, New Malden, south-west London on December 3, last year with excess alcohol in his breath.

He had 40 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.

The legal limit is 35.

Helle, who lives in a £3.7m house in Coombe Hill Road, Kingston-upon-Thames was formerly employed by industry giants Morgan Stanley, having graduated from the London School of Economics.

He also has a Masters degree in International Management.

Helle was fined £32,967, with £85 costs and a £190 victim surcharge.

He was also disqualified from driving for twelve months.
