When a top Danish executive was stopped by police on Bornholm, he was found to have 1.87 per mille of alcohol in his blood. He defied the ban on driving, took the ferry across to Ystad and then drove heavily drunk through Skåne.

In Copenhagen, he was stopped again by Danish police, this time with a blood alcohol content of 1.95.

Danish media have reported that Swedish police were warned by Danish colleagues that the drunk driver was on his way by ferry to Skåne in connection with the incident in June. However, Swedish police cannot confirm this information, reports Ystads Allehanda.

We are a little unsure who the Danish police have contacted, because we cannot find any information that we have been contacted, police spokesperson Jimmy Modin tells the newspaper.

In Denmark, the drunk driver was given a suspended sentence, fined 117,000 Danish kroner, and banned from driving for eight years. He also lost a top job in a Danish business organization.
