despite being owned by a state with which the UK has many interests economically will it be one of the cases that might go unpunished?

i mean they’re not. they’re 31st, behind most European countries. with a gdp of about ⅙ of that of the UK.
GDP is not the only factor. They are joint 7th worst for income inequality. Most people are poor, and all the money is at the top.
Only Belgium and the Netherlands have the same or worse income inequality and higher GDP.
In any case, I’d say 31st qualifies “one of the richest”. It’s richer than 85% of countries.
