In the comics, and the movies are the villains with tarnish morality for the most part easy to know. Either they have masks on, as the members of the Bjørnebanden in Donald, or also have the nasty scars or other distinctive characteristics, who immediately betrays their gedulgte being.
In the real world, this is not always so easy to spot people with sinister intentions, although several still try to stigmatize certain groups, such as rogues. ‘Thugs in suits’ is an often-used cliché, which is created to referred a little too smart, ‘rich’ store formats, which the scammer and cheat for their own gain.
Typical examples of such ‘thugs in suits’ we find in cases such as the scandal with the payment of a false withholding tax and in cases of banks ‘ anti-money laundering laws.
the Phrase suggests, almost, that one has easier by resorting to fraud, if one is wealthy and goes in habit than if you are an ‘ordinary man’.
In the currently running however, there is also more fraud cases against the apparently quite ordinary people – cases of many millions of everybody’s tax dollars.
the Most known is the case against Britta Nielsen, who is charged with fraud for 117 million dollars. She is not yet convicted, but the case is already acknowledged to have transferred money from the national board of social services for themselves.
the Two other cases – which is also not decided yet – emanates from the Defense.
In one of the two men indicted for fraud in the defense department Ejendomsstyrelse.
The auditor general has been able to uncover that the employees themselves have been able to order the goods, even acknowledge receipt, and even approve the payment. This means that individual employees alone have been able to make fictitious purchases, and even score the amount. Exactly it is the two employees suspected of having done.
The second case has roots in the same agency. Here are five men charged – two civilian employees in the agency, two self-employed and an employee of a contracting firm. Together, they are five charged 450 fact of bribery and breach of mandate of the particularly serious nature.
Yet the question of guilt as described undecided, but defence minister Trine Team calls the case is very serious:
“There is no doubt that this is really scary reading, and I look at the matter with the utmost seriousness,” she stated.
In the same way, it is wrong to suspect all of the suits to be bandits, it will, of course, be wrong to suspect all who have the opportunity to swindle public funds, abuse of everybody’s money.
We find not the error in the systems at all levels, that enables the fraud to suspect certain groups for a certain behavior.
For the seventh and last is it a question of individual morality. Regardless of whether you wear suits or a sweater.
