Should Fines Be Proportional To Income?

<p>Wikl&ouml;f is the sole owner of Wikl&ouml;f Holdings, a group with almost 700 employees, turnover of over &euro;400 million, and profit of &euro;12 million. This group deals in alcohol, hotels, banking, shipping, groceries, wholesaling, duty-free sales on boats between Sweden and Finland, and a host of other activities as niche as supplying military uniforms to Lebanon.</p> <p>Life, in short, is good.</p> <p>But in the past 10 years, Wikl&ouml;f has been fined &euro;280,000 for speeding.
