Record fine issued for speeding rings alarm bell on income inequality in Finland

A wealthy driver was fined the highest recorded amount for speeding after being caught going 82 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.
The fine issued was 121,000 euros, calculated based on the driver's high income.
This is not the first major penalty imposed on the driver for speeding.
The driver is the richest person in Finland's Aland archipelago and heads a major holding company.
The case has fueled debate over Finland's progressive income-based fining system and economic inequality.
