Quote:

The wife of future DaimlerChrysler AG CEO Dieter Zetsche has been fined $500 by a Michigan court for hosting a party at which alcohol was made available to minors. More than 20 underage drinkers were ticketed at the party, which was held at the Zetsche's house on June 18 as a birthday bash for a 19-year-old living with the family for the summer. Mrs. Zetsche pleaded guilty to the charges on Aug. 24. On top of the $500 fine, Zetsche must pay $2500 in court costs. Mr. Zetsche was named CEO of the Mercedes Car Group and becomes DC CEO on January 1.

I always thought these auto execs had the cops in their backpocket. Isn't serving alchohol to 18 or 19 year olds legal in Germany where she's from?

only $500?

If someone else did that they'd be arrested and charged with a lot more than that.

Just goes to show that if you're popular you can get away with a lot more.
