I'm too busy to do a full write up right now but if some intrepid autist wants look into how a former teacher turned human trafficker became the most powerful person in Romania, you might be shocked at what you find it.

I don't know if this is related at all, but right now the protests are about the government making corruption legal when it is under a certain amount. -- The emergency decree decriminalises several offences and makes abuse of power punishable by incarceration only if the sums involved are more than €44,000 (£38,000; $48,000).-- http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38836322

It is relevant, thank you. This is not related to your comment but it reminds me, I vaguely remember a case in California where some plaintiffs were trying to sue cops using RICO for excessive force but the case was thrown out because the damages were physical harm and not financial.

"In Romania, people who testify in court against their traffickers are publicly named by the police, making combating trafficking — an enterprise with strong ties to organized crime — even more difficult. Compounding the problem is the fact that the Romanian parliament in 2014 reduced sentences for traffickers from five to 15 years to three to 10 years"
