Yes, I am well aware that in the US, those in positions of power--whether through political or financial means--are treated with leniency, and the unwashed masses suffer.

Seriously? You think this is an American problem? Those in positions of power are always treated with leniency, regardless of country of origin. There is no justice in our "criminal justice" system, because it is now used to get justice FOR criminals. Otherwise Alinsky, Soros and most of our political leaders (on all political sides) would be in jail.
