There are no two ways about it. You can only deal with the future. However, past corruption is still punishable under the law that was existing at the time of the corruption. At the time when that corruption took place, and there is no statute of limitations to say--- In some civil matters, you cannot punish something that has happened in a certain period. For crimes, you can even punish a crime that occurred in 1963, but using the law that was in force at that time, and not the law that we are making now."
