The world is changing, although few believe it, if in politics there are setbacks, it
seems in public opinion that we are striding towards a more collective, transparent and corruption-free and corrupt society.
South Korea, following a request from the prosecutor’s office, has announced the arrest of Samsung’s vice president and heir Lee Jae-Yong after obtaining evidence of his involvement in the country’s corruption scandal that has already driven the South Korean president away, Park Geun-hye, which generated protests and many demonstrations in that country.
Lee, the heir to South Korea’s largest conglomerate, was investigated for 22 hours a week last week on the case, charged with perjury, fraud and bribery for having paid about $ 36 million to organizations linked to Choi Soon-Sil , A friend of President Park, who became the pivot of the departure of the president of South Korea.
Choi Soon-sil, a friend of the president, was accused of having interfered in official affairs without any office in the government and with her influence and friendship pocketed large sums of money from South Korean companies and conglomerates, among them Samsung, Hyundai and LG, earning millions of dollars in bribes through private foundations she created.
In Brazil, perjury is what is known as a false witness, as stated in article 342 of the Criminal Code, which says that it is illegal to “make a false statement, deny or silence the truth” in police investigations or judicial proceedings, can give up to 3 years But it can not even be a crime.
In Brazilian law, perjury committed by an accused “is not a crime,” because in Brazil no one is required to produce evidence against himself. “A person in the condition of defendant is not obliged to speak the truth”, fact that causes enormous anomalies in the brazilian national corruptions.
For this reason, despite a huge list of reported, mostly criminals, we will spend some time not knowing where the trillions of dollars stolen from public accounts came from
