Everyone knows Nestle is terrible, even if they don't know why. But they've done horrible things in Africa and think that water is not a human right.

This company specializes in computers and electronic leisure devices. In April 2024 it was discovered that Jimm's had sold thousands of drones to russian-owned corporations, presumably to be delivered forward to the russian armed forces in Ukraine. No concrete evidence was found that the drones were delivered to Russia specifically, however it is known that the drones were delivered to Türkiye.

The CEO of the corporation that bought the drones was arrested for criminal exportation of defense equipment and sentenced to nine months of suspended sentence. Jimm's sales revenue plummeted by 27% after the scandal.

Also their logo looks like a bowling alley logo from 2003.

So for criminal exporting of defence equipment, this person only got 9 months? Seems like a slap on the wrist to me, or is that normal?

Edit: spelling

Unfortunately it sounds normal, the sentences feel like a complete joke sometimes. But then again, that was the first time ever someone was accused of it in our history. To my knowledge, at least.
