About Rossi judicial status re: Petroldragon, he was only convicted of the financial stuff, as Jed said, and that was because he tried to keep the company going by cooking the books to get loans when things were going badly. He was found not guilty of the toxic waste trafficking stuff.
Indeed, that is what stopped him. He was buying what was defined as an industrial byproduct, the spent lubricant that was, until then, simply burned without much concern. Then, the law changed and it became toxic waste. Immediately, somebody who did not like him or his business accused him of trafficking in toxic waste without permits. He had a couple of old refineries full of it, hard to hide. At the same time, he could not dispose of it in any other way thatn dumping it in a regulated dump!!!! That was the only legal disposal method available after the law change. His mistake, at that point, was to cook the books, as I said, instead of cutting his losses by moving to Australia or something. Alternatively, he should have run for Prime Minister.
