This is government. If you exceed the speed limit on the autobahn, you’ll be fined immediately. But if you run a multi million Euro fraud, you will get away with it for DECADES. Why? Because they’ve got no systems in place for that. And to do something out of the ordinary that is hard would require someone with an incentive to do it. That does not fit the profile of your typical government employee. They don’t get paid for taking on difficult cases. They get paid for closing files, or, ideally, finding reasons for not even opening them in the first place. Laws are like locks. The honest people pay attention to them. The criminals don’t. They look at the enforcement (or lack thereof).
