That honestly is a completely different scenario- if the money reaches the alleged targets.

Well, the article (and a previous one I read) says that he didn't personally accept it; it went to the ministry, who auctioned it:

the money was meant to help fund the digitization of the justice system, fight drug use in prisons and provide housing for prison staff.
