In the aftermath of the 2007 financial bubble, lots of improprieties were unearthed. The big banks collectively have been fined a total north of 250 billion dollars (from memory). Yet, no one has gone to jail.
On Dec 22 2014 Alstom was fined 772 million dollars is a bribery case. The firm has admitted to more than $75 million in bribes to secure more than 4 billion in projects.
Now this clears the way for GE to go ahead with its 17 billion dollar acquisition of Alstom.
Not really, president of the US makes sure his people are mostly safe, fed and watered before filling his own pockets whereas third world leaders fill their own pockets first without giving a **** about the people they are meant to serve.
Also the reason they were fined in the UK anyway is that they broke regulatory body rules, they were not prosecuted in criminal courts because they hadn’t broken any laws.
