But thieves are dearer to them...
Here, a person working as the President of Russia called the idea of a ban on amnesty for corrupt officials “cruel”.
No, of course there is logic in this. A corrupt official is also a human being. He also wants freedom. And the main thing is that he does not commit his crime out of protest motives, but simply takes advantage of the conditions that the state creates for him. In “Gentlemen of Fortune” the formula is stated: “Stole - drank - goes to jail!” And in this case, another: “Grabbed - hit - paid off!”
This is exactly how the “amnesty for corrupt officials” is used in fraternal Belarus, which Vladimir Putin is trying to build for the whole of Russia. True, the construction of the century is not working out, since there is no external donor for the concentration camp for 150 million - there is no Russia of its own for Russia. The Belarusian scale will be more modest: we no longer reach ten million.
This is how it is done here in Belarus. And for a long time, since the time when the manager of the president’s affairs was caught. They catch a corrupt official. They take him red-handed. He pays off the state, “repaying,” so to speak, the damage caused. And he is released.
In Russia, for two helmets torn off from riot police, you can get three years and two months in prison. The damage here cannot be repaired.
For a smoke bomb thrown at the building of the KGB regional department in Belarus, you can get four years, or even more. And for anti-presidential graffiti - only two. But leave from bell to bell.
But you caused damage in the form of a bribe or simple theft, paid six million dollars to the treasury - and you are released. This is in Belarus. In Russia it will probably cost more. Whatever the country, such are the corrupt officials. But maybe in Belarus they pay more - just not to the treasury. I don’t know, but I don’t want to lie.
They say six to seven million dollars is the cost of a place on the party list for elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. So here it comes down to the cost of parliamentary immunity.
Guys, everything is clear. Thieves are dearer to them than Protestants or even just voters. Socially closer.
