Staunton, November 27 – Vladimir
Putin and his entourage are like the US gangster Al Capone not only in their
contempt for all law in their pursuit of personal enrichment but also because
they are going to be taken down as the US criminal was not for their worst
crimes but for those they could be prosecuted for, Andrey Piontkovsky says.
Capone was guilty of murder,
extortion, gunrunning, violations of the prohibition, and a whole raft of other
crimes, but he was finally convicted and sentenced to jail for tax evasion, the
Russian analyst points out. Something analogous is about to happen to Putin and
his fellow criminals in the Russian elite (svoboda.org/a/28876197.html).
Putin and the 70
people closest to him have converted “power into property” and put their money
in the West to keep it safe, but now history has played a cruel joke on them.
The West has finally after many inexcusable delays focused on this as the way
to stop the Putin camarilla which is guilty of so many other crimes in Russia
and against Russia’s neighbors and the world.
