The question is, who can fool the EU better and carry on with impunity, the Ayatolah, or Mr. Gates?

Native criminals? Does the EU even have jurisdiction over criminal cases? My impression of the EU has always been that its primarily an economic union and mostly concerned with matters affecting trade. |
Meanwhile they have stepped beyond that and want to regulate almost everything. Concenring jurisdiction, they have a special understanding of that. Edith Cresson has been commissioner and was found guilty to have stolen money and to have embezzeled money. She rejected to step back and blame all the guilt, saying that the whol EU commission did ike she did. It led to the stepping back of the whole EU commission under -I'm not sure - Santer. She has been to court these days, threatened by a cutting of her pension - and the judges said that because her bad deeds had been discovered, she alöready had been penalized enough and should leave court withiut additional penalty. Moral of the story: Never strip a bank robber off his mask - because when it becomes known who he is, that is such a big penalty that no court in the EU will send hoim to jail or make him pay another penalty.
Cresson will get her full pension of 48000 bucks. - If one of you guys steal in your company, you will be send to hell. They will not pay your pension, nor will they spare you from being penalized by the police/court. "Alle Tiere sind gleich, aber Schweine sind gleicher als gleich" (A. Huxley) EU: corruption, selfishness, ignorance and decadence at best. But is it really better in other parts of the world?
