Depends on the person and the case, how much spotlight it has gained from the MSM etc.
For example in 2014 of the biggest shipowners in Greece, Evangelos Marinakis had one of his ships involved in a case of drugs.
The ship had 2.1 tons of Heroin which is estimated to cost from 200mil to 400mil € (!), enough Heroin to wipe out the whole fucking country. Obviously Greece is the port of Europe and the whole package was not meant just for Greece.
The case headed to justice for years with no conclusion, meanwhile year after year key witnesses kept dying/disappearing, one prosecutor lost got fired iirc and the other left the country.
Marinakis has huge influence because he also controls the main and only printing and distribution newspaper company in the whole country.
