Dmitry, Olya's lover, "found the money" by shaking down government ministers who fled Ukraine. They all owned banks. In return for their "high civic awareness" they were able to keep their "license," banking license, I guess.
Vasya: "I think it's racketeering."
Dmitry: 
Dmitry explains Ukraine's "system" to Vasya: 
It's all a game, Vasya, you rube! Corruption surruption, it's all a game, for show! Caught the fish, got the picture, let it go. Yula was the judge's "golden fish."
Then with one phone call to the "lake owners" (?) in Vasya's office and in his presence, Dmitry hooks Yura again. He has the judge (who accepted a $5M bribe to find him NG) sentence Yura to 20 years prison. 
Dmitry holds the phone open so that Vasya and his intel chief (who is looking at Vasya like, "What are you going to do, Corruption Fighter?") can hear.
Dmitry circles around the table and goes directly to Vasya.
Look! Dmitry is looking directly into Vasya's eyes when he says that.
He's taunting Vasya. "Is it honest", Mr. President?
Does it contradict the principles of a state where no man is above the law, Mr. President?
After the court scene, this:
Left, Dmitry and Olya, central bank chief or something, and the state finance minister and Vasya's ex-wife; right, Vasya, the president and obscured, she who never should be obscured, Anya. They are at the airport as Dimitry and Olya head to Italy.
It is all very incestuous, no? I'm just catching on to these bizarre personal relationships. There is no...Well, I should not type "no", there has been some jealousy but nothing that has gotten out of hand. I thought when I first saw this scene, "Maybe Ukrainians just aren't jealous types", but now I am catching on: Zelensky (creator) is using the incestuous personal relationships as metaphor for the incestuous corrupt relationships. Just as Dmitry can paper over corrupt injustice with corrupt justice Zelensky's show counterpart and his ex-wife can paper over normal jealousy with "It'll all work out in the end" Ukrainian optimism.
Zelensky created and produced Servant. This is all him. It is a course in moral and practical philosophy. Which makes the snake eyes that he rolls in two of the first four episodes of season two so puzzling, and the reason I gave up on the series after the second one. Maybe Zelensky needed breaks after the heavy lifting, I don't know. I bet it happens again.
