I think the raid is good news in the same way that Augusto Pinochet’s indictments were good news: they reinforce the principle that nobody is powerful enough to run and hide from justice forever.
(The guy who figured out how to bring up Pinochet on charges in Chile, whose post-dictatorship constitution was tailored to protect the leaders of the previous regime, should get some kind of medal. But I digress.)
