And he’s pretty much immune to any legal blowback - if anyone tried, I mean he’s 75, in his position he could easily jam that up in the courts for a decade or more and even if it somehow managed to progress, there’s the classic “I’m suddenly too old and frail to go through a lengthy trial” defence.
I think realistically the absolute worst case scenario for him is being forced to retire and spending the rest of his days in opulence anyway. I don’t like it but that’s probably how it is.

Didn’t the chief justice decide not to do an investigation for corruption, because reasons? It’s basically the same when cops investigate themselves.
