Not only there, in other countries in Europe too, in Romania they are prosecuting the boss of the biggest software company we have, he has to sell his paintings and artwork for not being arrested(bail). The usual opinion is that they all got rich with state contracts building stupid and expensive things that young kids would do in no time for nothing.
