' I'd run a friend. Idiot that I am, I took the car even though I had been drinking. Then there was a check (a police check, red.amn) down here in Djursholm, where I was stopped. There was nothing dramatic in that way."

"Are you worried about the penalties? It is nevertheless a serious drink-driving you are arrested for?"

"– It may become as it gets. The worst is yet to the public, that this will be a thing in the media. I don't want it. I don't want to be in the spotlight. It took many years before I even showed me on tv, I've never liked that it should be about me. But now it is as it is, it is not going to come from, " says Göran Zachrisson."
