The Long Arm of the Law

Tweet

Renato Corona, the impeached Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and his daughter, and his son-in-law, and soon, his wife also, pending evidences, were charged with tax evasion, and the huge amount that this family did not pay the government, is staggering enough the ordinary citizen would wonder if the millions, in dollars, and in pesos, could be for real. Well, it is real, and how they generated such income is beyond me. What I know is that they accumulated wealth, through hard work, they say, but they are not willing to tell, for whatever reason. If my logic is right, anyone who is successful enough with money takes pride in letting everyone know how rich they are. And they boast about their mansions, cars, and bankbooks. But not with Corona. He said his household does not even keep a househelp. Whatever. He can perjure all he wants, he was Chief Justice for sometime. He knows the law. What is clear is there are really people who probably enjoys challenging the law, like Al Capone, the gangster who committed crimes wherein the lack of legal evidences failed to nail him, yet, by some twist of fate, he was found guilty of tax evasion, thus he was arrested and imprisoned. The long arm of the law. Corona knows it. But do you think it is the attention that he likes? Saying sorry would have been easier.
