That’s what you are pushing in the u.s.

It’s like those idiot do gooders who go to North Korea and ruin their lives

Finally did something correct in courts!

The Law! Who committed the act, heard and investigated the story only have factual relevant to decision. If true, mistake is learning for the correction, and sometimes it's difficulty if it fell in hands of your adversaries who want to destroy your life and reputation.

I'm sure they would disagree with their verdict. None of them are guilty of anything. Right!!

Hope they had a fair trial

Evil in our world is out of control. Capitalism doesn't work because there is too much greed, and selfishness. Those who seek gold, and diamonds which is almost completely worthless, because you can't eat or drink it to survive. So why is it so valuable?

.

They should rot if truly guilty

Well this is will be just warning don't get caught next time ok lol

UTfoolme I'm pretty sure a lot of people base their comments to this on their feelings about the countries involved. Without reading up on the accusations, charges, trial and so on you can't have an opinion on whether these people should have been jailed or not.

Every African nation is led by a thug and their Family, who are expert in massing wealth and natural resources of the Country. But they will hold a begging cup to the World bank for money in the name of poverty. Western world also is an enabler along the way.

Trump network collapse every where.

Bet'cha their ex- Enron executives.

And how was Dump involved?🤔

shocking! say it ain't so?

That's very bad Habit

Criminals. End of story!

As usual, America is besieging a country economically and sending its companies to it (give us oil and we give you baby milk) but they got cought

What were they doing in a country that was supposed to have sanctions? Especially in oil?

Always the status quo

You mean Trump shady people was found guilty 🤣
