    I have not followed this story closely, if not very much at all. Is this just another example of the uber-wealthy getting away with crimes in broad daylight? Or is this something else entirely?

      The named people are merely the central facilitators of the scheme. The general lack of consequences for the uber-wealthy named in the papers has been an ongoing theme, the lackeys getting away without a conviction is just the cherry on top.

        IIRC in Germany there’s still an active prosecution section working on the cases (and only those). It takes a long time to go through. And we may not hear of what comes of the cases.
