Can Belgian authorities took over Greece in general ? So many greeks have migrated from Greece exactly because of this kind of corruption and nepotism in Greece. Scandals like this happen all the time in Greece and no one goes to jail… We are so happy seeing a greek politician going to jail finally.
Now with Saudi Arabia, let's see how many politicians have been brought by Saudis
they should invest a little further if they arrest all guilty of corruption there may be no eu oarlement anymore. I suggest to start at the top with ursula von der leyen and pfizer that corruption of billions seems still untouchable

"The Qatar Grand Prix, which made its debut in the 2021 Championship at the Lusail International Circuit, was not present on the 2022 calendar. The Grand Prix is planned to return in 2023, originally scheduled to be moved to a new purpose-built circuit, after a one-year hiatus during which the country would focus on hosting the FIFA World Cup, before being set to remain in Lusail."
Corruption rules the world

Lock that 🐖 in jail for long time, Qatar 🤮 🤔
And jail time, maximum sentence as these are supposed to have their people at heart not lining their own pocket like British MP's
What I do not understand when someone who is in a position of authority, well paid and lives a good life. Yet, they willingly accept bribe when this individuals know exactly what she or he is doing. Self-entitled, greed for wealth and power and obvious poor character come to play. This is evil and this woman is corrupt to the core, mentally and spiritually. She and others who are involved directly or indirectly must be hold to account.
Tip of the iceberg…..

Is depreciation a factor in corruption?
Economists bombard us with GDP but say almost nothing about NDP, Net Domestic Product. Many economics books say nothing and it gets little space from those that do. The depreciation of capital goods is subtracted from GDP, but durable consumer goods that must endure the same Laws of Physics and wear out have their depreciation swept under the rug. How many automobiles do American consumers trash every year? How many since Sputnik?
Is planned obsolescence corruption and economists are colluding by ignoring the depreciation.
