If the allegations of criminal activity are true, he will very likely end up in prison.
Obviously it will take time for investigations to gather evidence, prosecutors to file charges, etc. These are still very recent events. Just be patient!
It's been coming out that he donated lots to them too so I guess we'll see. My impression overall though is that he will end up in jail, it's just going to take a while for everyone who received his money to come to terms with the scale of his fraud.
I wonder whatever happened to the people that thought they wouldn't get prosecuted for some reason? Is that still a belief? Because it seems like he's getting sentenced for his political contributions specifically, which people like patio11 said aren't being touched.
Even if he goes to jail for 10 years and then gets out, then what? He would still face the big risk of "mob justice," since a significant portion of the population thinks he's a traitor.
I'm sure he'll land on his feet. His reputation and trustworthiness, however, will forever be tarnished. And if he's convicted his career is pretty much over.
Isn't this very risky? There is a high chance that he will get caught. A smart politician would do recce to see if the money is distributed. What would happen if he is caught?
