I'm wondering if any of you know the types of sentences guys get in countries like Italy, Russia, mexico or others with organized crime groups.
I'm sure they are all much softer than America so I guess guys there can get convicted for serious stuff and not spend their whole lives in prison like so many American mobsters do.
Countries like Italy or Russia have very tough sentencing guidelines and the prisons over there can be hell, but my country does have much softer sentencing than the US. But, a life sentence, although rare, is a life sentence over here. No change of parole, you'll never see the outside again.
Currently, a crew in Amsterdam is standing trial for a couple of murders over here. The prosecution has asked for the life sentence against some of its members, and my two cents is that they will get it.
Interestingly, the star witness in this trial has been paid 1.4 million by the prosecution and has been given an new identity in....the US.
