      Is it tha same feeling when you’ll read:" The billionaire family, was given a early prison leave, because they were behaving nice. How could yo put these poooor souls in prison for two weeks!!!"

      Because you will read this in two weeks in some small regional paper.

        “Oops! They managed to sneak away on their private jet and are evading arrest. They will happily spend their lives in non-extradition countries and the Swiss government will reimburse the family for the property lost in Switzerland.”

      Apparently it’s a suspended sentence and they are not in custody, so no prison time will happen. Just business as usual for the exploiters.

        Where did you read that? They bailed to Monaco when the sentence was given over a family member in intensive care. But they have strong financial ties in Switzerland on top of the Swiss nationality.

        Oh and they have to pay nearly a million to the victims.

          IDK Swiss law but I’d still bet they start losing assets quickly if they don’t report to jail.

            Exactly. And I bet there’s plenty of money in mansions, cars, jewelry and bank assets.
