In the past 50 years, 27 members of the Danish Parliament have lost their immunity. Immunity protects a politician from being prosecuted. The last one before Morten was Thomas Danielsen (Venstre) who lost it because of speeding (30 km above speed limit). Other lost it because of racism (Jesper Langballe from DF in 2010), pedophilia (Flemming Oppfeldt from Venstre in 2004), corruption (Peter Brixtofte from Venstre in 2003), hitting a pedestrian while driving (Karen Jespersen from Socialdemokratiet in 1994) and the list continues (mainly driving-related situations).
