€2m? So basically free?

SGGeorwell@lemmy.world on 11 Sep 2024 12:08 next collapse

Pardon the pun, but Nestle Waters should be nationalized and liquidated. Governments regularly take control of the assets of criminals. Why not these obvious ones?

Because politicians usually don’t bite the corporate hand that feeds them.

The question is why not though? Organised Crime feeds them too - why do they let one free and put the other through the wringer when they’re both crooks and both paying the politicians?

Is it just that Bikies need to hire lobbyists?

The Yakuza in Japan in past decades are a great example of what happens when organised crime does hire lobbyists

Cost of doing business basically.

That’s like slapping them on the wrist with a feather.

Oh good. By avoiding trial Nestle has more time to enslave children.

Vittel was like 2€ the litre in Germany before they stopped selling it here. So the fine is just the price of like a million bottles. A modern bottling machine can bottle around 80.000 bottles per hour. I couldn’t find the capacity of that plant, but using this as an upper limit, the fine corresponds to about a days worth of bottling.
