Fig.: to do something very wrong without being caught or punished

Tony always cheats on his tests, but - I don't know how - he never gets caught. Some people just manage to get away with murder!

Tony copia sempre agli esami, ma - chissà come - non viene mai scoperto. Certa gente la fa sempre franca!

Some people can do anything they want and still get away with murder!

Certi tipi possono combinarne di tutti i colori ma la passano sempre liscia
