One Law for the Powerful, Another for Everyone Else

The Art Newspaper reports that Tunisa's deposed leader and his family had a taste for high quality antiquities. See

Big surprise. One law for the powerful and another for everyone else. I'm wondering if it will be next revealed that officials of the Mubarak regime had similar tastes for artifacts that would get other Egyptians a long jail sentence.
