it Anna herself has been a criminal at times and now she judges others who commit crimes. Valentin is a criminal and she chose to let him walk. This is the same show that had Luke rape Laura and turned him into a leading man. Obviously it's different with Sonny & Jason since they've been on for 30yrs. Murderers don't go to jail....
Anna getting on her high horse about criminals while looking the other way with Valentin is hypocritical, as is often the case.
Personally I wish this show would actually write properly for the mob or change directions with these characters. Speaking of the mob, is Selina still alive?
If you're a main character that murders someone or commits other crimes and the actors are on contract, going nowhere.......those characters won't pay long term.
Maybe Sonny got a hip implant surgery while in Nixon Falls off screen?
