Couple weeks ago I was discussing about assets of a very very prominent politician in India (who shall remain nameless to remove any bias in disussion). This politician had listed his/her assests during the election campaign that were only an insult to a average person's intelligence. I was told that CBI has investigated this for decades and so it's all kosher now. Is it possible?
Institutions not doing it's job due to political pressures is not unique to India. I believe people on Bill O'Reilly's staff have been calling IRS for past 3 years to investigate finances of one Mr. Jesse Jackson.
