Curious, taking into account the strict and extensive list of restrictions imposed by the dictator in his country.

Ultra-powerful leaders

The punishment is not to go to jail, but to forced labor camps where many of those sent there die d and hunger .On the other hand, both the one who committed the crime and his family, up to 3 generations, will be paying the crime.
