Don't say 'eastern European' but gypsy organised crimes. These are the calamity of Europe and can't be compared to civilised Polish, Hungaries, Slovenians, and the rest.

Sorry but I can't resist!
So for EUR 90,000 (mislaid, stolen, laundered, corr...) a big fish will get a proportionate sentence.
A 135 years jail sentence, suspended for 270 years. Obviously.
