Sandra Borch, a former minister in the Norwegian government, is currently in court dealing with charges related to drunk driving. According to reports, the case is being treated as a confession case due to her unconditional admission of guilt, which allows for simplified court proceedings. The charges stem from police confirmations that she was caught driving with blood alcohol levels of 0.64 and 1.56.

Borch has publicly acknowledged her alcohol issues on social media, sharing her journey and struggle after stepping down from her ministerial position. Her lawyer, John Christian Elden, has mentioned that she is committed to addressing her problems and has voluntarily started a treatment program to confront her alcohol dependency. The police are considering whether to impose a "program against impaired driving" as part of her sentencing.

In her political career, 37-year-old Sandra Borch served as Norway's Minister of Agriculture and Food, as well as the Minister of Research and Higher Education in Jonas Gahr Støre's red-green government. After eight years of being a member of parliament for Troms, she failed to get re-elected. Her court case highlights issues surrounding alcohol abuse and accountability within the political sphere, particularly among public figures who hold significant responsibilities.
