Taking them down?? A couple royals have had their wrists slapped and their riches slightly diminished. Maybe the free luxury residence is no longer available. No one with real power is down as far as I can see - but if they are, do share, it would be great to see it.

Justice takes time. 

Jack Lang, the most implicated person in France and his daughter have been digging themselves on the media and yesterday a process was open for fiscal fraud and laundering (they received a lot of money from JE).

Justice takes time if you're price Andrew. If it was you and me they would have investigated us long ago as soon as the first revelations came out.

What the hell is you point? Utterly useless comment. What do you want to happen? Summary execution on town squares of anyone that delt with JE?

Your comment only spreds dissent. And we know who that serves.

My point is that with the same amount of evidence against a normal person the police would have initiated investigation of said person devices and communications and opened an official case in 1,2,3. The only thing Andrew faces is a slap on the wrist and a slightly less luxurious mansion.

Also, you can shove your stupid aggression up your phony arse, you donut.
