Police want to question 'Tetra Pak' heir

The heir to Tetra Pak is wanted for questioning over reports of failing to stop after an accident.

Officers want to talk to Hans Kristian Rausing, 44, heir to the Tetra Pak billions, after members of the public reported his car was being driven erratically.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "We can confirm that a member of the public attended Ealing Police Station to report an Audi Quattro having failed to stop following being in collision with his vehicle in Chiswick at approximately 8.40pm on June 15.

"At 8.45pm we were contacted by a member of the public to reports of a car driving erratically on the M4 / A4.

"Officers attended an address in Chelsea to make further inquiries but the registered keeper of the vehicle was not at the address. Inquiries continue."

Mr Rausing's father, also called Hans, is a Swedish billionaire who built up the Tetra Pak empire with his late brother Gad.

His fortune is said to be around £5.4 billion, putting the family seventh on the Sunday Times Rich List.
