    When his money laundering case came up for an initial hearing at the Provincial Court in Málaga last month, the presiding judge agreed to release the gang chief on a bail of €50,000. Bouyakhrichan, a billionaire who possesses bank accounts and properties around the world, promptly paid the cash and skipped town.

    If it were just the paperwork not being filed, that’d be one thing, but given the low bail on someone who should obviously be a flight risk and the paperwork, I do kind of wonder whether that might be judicial corruption. I would hope that Spain would look into that.

      Does the judge get to keep the bail money if they skip town or something? 😂
