You actually jail executives breaking the law? Making me dream!

It's the dark side trying to get me to just execute any criminals against humanity.

Wishful thinking maybe?

Executives from Miteni and both parent organisations were among those convicted and sentenced to prison terms between two years, eight months and 17 years, six months. The court ordered Mitsubishi, ICIG and the convicted defendants to pay a total of around €57 million (£49 million) in damages, according to media reports.
The fines are a joke as usual, but the prison sentences are reasonable. Good news!
