> For those closest to the power, the easiest way to get around the law... is to follow it to the letter. I'd agree but not for the reason(s) you've outlined, what they they will do is get their crimes legalized. Or, if they get caught as in the case with Christine Lagrade [0], they will get convicted but serve no sentence and remain in their position. Proving that selective application of the Law, nepotism and the failing up method is as prevalent as ever within these circles. The City of London Corporation is nearly autonomous to the greater UK with it's own political and legal framework [1], and given it's incredibly checkered past, you'd do well to keep that in mind when you decide to be an apologist for Russian tycoons and oligarchs. To be clear: I'm not against wealth or the wealthy, I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy (and my disdain) for those who use their relation to the State for their own largess. 0: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38369822 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38369822 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London_Corporation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London_Corporation
