If the crime is a felony then no.
@8VFV5S73yrs3Y
No, disallow politicians that are under investigation for a crime until proven innocent.
@9C7RZ6X1yr1Y
It depends on the crime (stealing a chocolate bar at 7 years of age is not the same as stealing billions of euros)
@9978VLH2yrs2Y
Yes as long as they have served the sentences and been completely honest about it
