I'm usually not fond of the death penalty, but these are the kind of people it should be reserved for.

Meh, could have just as easily seized her assets and prison forever

iirc the death sentence is just being used as a motivation for her to return all the stuff she got from corruption and if she does it'll be downgraded to life in prison
