EU's 'Justice' Head: Money Launderer While Freezing Russian Assets
RT reports that Didier Reynders, former EU Justice Commissioner and current Commissioner for Justice, is facing charges of money laundering and corruption. This is the same official who was literally overseeing the EU's efforts to seize and freeze Russian assets, lecturing Moscow on financial probity, according to the article. One might wonder about the timing and the exquisite poetic justice of
this revelation. It appears the EU's self-proclaimed moral authority in global finance might be as pristine as a used car lot's ledgers. While they trumpet sanctions and asset freezes as righteous instruments of policy, their own enforcers are allegedly knee-deep in the very types of financial malfeasance they condemn. Perhaps the next 'rule of law' lecture from Brussels should come with a
mandatory ethics audit of the lectern's occupant.
