Despite this being true, it is important that people are prosecuted for the "all" the wrongs they did and not just the "easy" ones. It isn't much of a justice system if you can get away with "hard to prosecute" crimes.

As a counterpoint, IMO it's important that people are only prosecuted when there is sufficient evidence for a likely and safe conviction (otherwise at best we will drag everyone through expensive court battles which don't lead anywhere, and at worst we will end up with unsafe convictions).
Especially when things are hard to prosecute exactly because rich people don't care about them.
