Too rich to be charged for smuggling crack into US embassy
....Mr Rausing, whose father is Tetra Pak drink carton billionaire Dr Hans Rausing, was arrested when police found a £2,000 stash of crack, heroin and cocaine at his home.
Officers searched the £5million mansion in Chelsea after his American wife was caught and arrested at the U.S. embassy with small wraps of heroin and crack in her bag when she went to renew her passport.
A source said that officers advised the Crown Prosecution Service that the billionaire couple should be given only cautions, in accordance with Ministry of Justice guidelines.
Usually, addicts caught with such huge quantities of drugs will face a prison sentence. But according to the source, the guidelines state that the value of drug possessed by an offender should be considered in relation to their own wealth.
In the Rausings' case, £2,000 of drugs is tiny compared to their vast riches. However, the CPS decided to press charges for possession of Class A drugs, but it is understood these were dropped when the defence argued the case.
Instead, the couple will accept formal cautions and are expected to agree to attend drug rehabilitation programmes.......
