Ryssland världsbäst på ekonomisk brottslighet

I Moscow Times kan man läsa att Ryssland numera rankas världsetta i fråga om ekonomisk brottslighet:

Of 86 companies surveyed in Russia, 71 percent said they had been subjected to at least one major economic crime in the past 12 months, according to a report released by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Igår publicerade BBC online artikeln “Russia ‘is now a criminal state’, says Bill Browder”. Denne Bill, förmögen investerare, bannlystes 2005 från Ryssland. Enligt honom själv blev han ”punished for being a threat to corrupt politicians and bureaucrats”. Bills syn på Rysslands samtida utveckling:

When Putin first showed up and said he was going to tame the oligarchs, I was the biggest fan of that particular concept. Then I realised that what he meant by taming the oligarchs was sticking law enforcement people in their place..

Now, you have a bunch of law enforcement people who are essentially organised criminals with unlimited power to ruin lives, take property and do whatever they like and that's far worse than I have ever seen in Russia before. Russia is essentially a criminal state now.
