> Not sure about that. A Russian guy who poisoned Litvinenko with radioactive polonium in London was then promoted to a member of state parliament: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrey_Lugovoy

Did that guy get tricked into spilling the beans to Litvinenko?

Doesn’t matter too much. Should the need arise, both guys can now be prosecuted for [attempted] homicide, globally i.e. regardless on the jurisdiction. That’s why I would expect promotion as opposed to punishment.

So just like the mob, you become a "made man" by doing a great service to the organization?
