Cyprus bailout - Up to 10% being taken from savings

Fascinating info (and tehFrance ) I make the average ~ 'stard median - in Russia around two thirds the UK minimum wage......... but how would the "govt officials/their cronies" get access CEKTOP ?

The easiest scheme is:
Commission a highway construction
Propose an overly inflated budget for it
Take everything but the barest minimum needed away, transfer to a trusted person with a bank account in a trusted regional bank who would subsequently transfer the money to Cyprus to your account.
Hire slaves from Tajikistan to "build" the thing
The road collapses 6 months earlier due to "extreme weather conditions", we gotta build a new one
Back to point one (the cycle can be repeated up to 3 times!)

Did they learn these construction methods from the Sicilian Mafia / Neapolitan Camorra?
