Chapter 50: The Dust Settles
(Thanks to Yu Dezhi's reward, because I was not in a good mood yesterday, so the code word is inefficient, there are only two more today, I will adjust myself as soon as possible.) )
On Monday, November 15, forty days after the murder in Retiro Park, the Central District Court of Madrid heard the case that took place in Retiro Park.
This sensational murder has attracted hundreds of media from more than 100 countries to Spain, and even some Spanish media have sourly described Zhou You as the darling of the media.
A young man who is not yet twenty years old, as an orphan, but who has become a millionaire on his own, has set a good example for young people all over the world.
The lawsuit with the world's pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has turned him into a fighter who is not afraid of power. And this lucky duplore in Spain added a touch of mystery to him.
In the face of the violent siege of the gangsters, Zhou You showed superhuman force, and the four people faced the heavily armed bandits, but killed one of the other party and wounded eleven people, which added many symbols and labels to their bodies.
Therefore, Zhou You is popular, Zhou You is red, this is not ordinary red, but the red and purple kind.
According to Demosa's investigation, from June to October, Zhou Yu was published and broadcast by hundreds of media outlets in dozens of countries, and after the October 4 murder at Retiro Park, Zhou Yu has been covered by major media in most countries in the world.
Some media outlets focused on digging into the history of Zhou You, praising him for earning tens of millions of dollars in just over a year. Some media outlets focused on the luck of the trip, expressing envy of his huge gains in Ibiza.
Of course, more media focused on his confrontation with Runett, and the Retiro Park murder has become a typical topic of confrontation with gangsters, and even Hollywood directors are contacting Demossa to make a movie.
Therefore, in the face of such a trip that has become a global news figure, the Spanish government is also very distressed. On the one hand, they want to try to downplay the threat of the gangs and bring the criminals to justice, and on the other hand, they want to find a relatively fair standard in this case and make a fair verdict on the counterattack of the travelers.
The approval of Zhou You was very difficult for the Spanish side, because according to the universal legal and moral norms, Zhou You deserves sympathy as the victim.
However, in this bloody case, the four of them were not seriously injured. Only Liang Hao was shot, and he was blocked by body armor, with only a slight bone crack. And Zhou Minghong and Yang Enquan only had some minor bumps and abrasions.
Especially Zhou You, as a target, he killed one person, seriously injured two people, and slightly injured one. If you add in the two serious injuries caused by the start of the crash, there are four serious injuries under his men alone, one minor injury, and one death.
Therefore, if Zhou You is directly judged not guilty, it is also a blasphemy of the law and a forgiveness of crimes.
How to grasp the balance between this, let the Spanish courts rack their brains for this.
On November 14, Zhou You moved from the villa back to the Alcalá Hotel, and this time, in order to attract him to stay, the Alcalá Hotel not only waived the cost of his presidential suite, but also arranged rooms for his team of lawyers, and even provided them with access and food access.
Of course, the hotel side is not a loss, or even a big profit. As a result of their stay, the Alcalá Hotel has increased its room rate by 30 percent, but it still attracts countless media to stay and make a lot of money.
On the domestic side, Liang Hao and the three of them came over with Zhou You's uncle Zhou Jincheng, and Zhou You arranged them all into his presidential suite.
Yan Fangqing also wanted to come over, but her visa was not approved, so she cried on the phone. Zhou You pretended to be very sorry on the surface, comforted her, but was happy in her heart.
What would Gracia do if she came? When the king sees the king, it is better to have fewer big scenes.
When Zhou Jincheng saw Gracia, he was completely speechless for his nephew, and he couldn't express his worries. From China to Spain, this nephew is really not something that an honest office worker like him can instruct.
Zhou Jincheng doesn't know Spanish, he almost forgot English, and he doesn't understand the language of Gracia, so Zhou You is also exempt from being a lubricant between them.
It's okay to let them get to know each other, and as for communication, forget it. Anyway, he just won't part with Gracia in the future, and he won't take her to the country.
That evening, Zhou You, together with his brothers, as well as Gracia and Demosa, as well as government representatives from Singapore and Spain, held a press conference, speaking directly to the media for the first time in 40 days.
This time, reporters from all over the world did not let him go, and a press conference lasted for four hours, ending at 12 p.m.
This time, he traveled around the world in front of the media, without the slightest concealment, and elaborated on his life experience, investing in a pharmaceutical company, fighting a lawsuit with Pfizer, being lucky to make a fortune, and facing the brave face of bandits, so that everyone's curiosity was satisfied.
Faced with some tricky questions from reporters, such as whether his immigration to Singapore from him means that he has an opinion on the mainland government? In the face of bandits, how can the four of them young people control their mentality? Positive responses were given to the job satisfaction of the Spanish police and the courts.
The advantage of traveling is that his history is too clean, too pure, like a virgin. Therefore, these media just want to deliberately smear him, and they can't find any handle.
In the face of political topics, Zhou You can escape with his youth, and immigration is only because of business. In the face of the media's sowing discord, Zhou You has also been giving them a positive evaluation on the basis of insisting on his own interests.
As for the fight against the gangsters, Zhou You asked Liang Hao and them to take out a number of wooden planks, and then took off their shirts, revealing a tight vest and his well-defined muscles.
In front of dozens of cameras and hundreds of cameras, Zhou You performed a 'Chinese kung fu' in front of people all over the world, and under the punches and kicks, all the wooden planks were shattered one by one, shocking everyone.
He also unscrupulously started to promote the viagra produced by his company, and boasted vigorously that the reason why he was so strong was because he insisted on one viagra pill every day, which was enough for his blood and energy.
Not only is the tiger vigorous now, but it is even more leaping in bed.
His performance made Pan Jinfeng, who came to Europe to find a market for Viagra, overjoyed, because since the next day, many European pharmacies and distributors have expressed interest in Viagra, which is of course a later story.
At 10 a.m. the next day, reporters from outside the Central District Court on Castilla Avenue gathered, but unfortunately, fewer than 20 media outlets were allowed to shoot inside.
For this reason, the third program of Spanish national television specially broadcast the court hearing, which calmed down media reporters from all over the world.
When a major case like this is put on the table, a compromise has already been reached by all parties.
Before Zhou You attended the trial, he knew that he would not face criminal charges, only civil damages. They crashed and wrecked four cars at that time, and Zhou You shot another car, so the main thing is to compensate for these properties.
And Covendas, who died in his hands, was directly involved in the kidnapping of Zhou You, so his life would not be protected at the legal level, and Zhou You would only face the punishment of an apology from the newspaper at most.
As for whether Zhou You will feel sorry for the orphans and widows in his family, that is a moral level rather than a legal matter.
Therefore, the accusations faced by Zhou You are mainly public property losses and excessive defense, but only public property losses can be passed, and the accusations of excessive defense will only be judged unfounded in the end.
The trial went very smoothly that day, and all procedures went according to plan. Whether it was traveling around or in a wheelchair, Runette, including Caneroga and the twenty thugs that day, knew the fate he was facing, and he had no idea of fighting again.
After a two-day adjournment of the proceedings, the Spanish court handed down its final verdict on 19 November. This time is already much earlier, and the Spanish side also wants to put everything to a close point this week, so that this matter can pass.
Runette was sentenced to 40 years in prison on charges of kidnapping for ransom, intentional wounding, illegal confinement, as well as drug sales, organizing **** and other crimes. At the same time, he will provide compensation to past victims and their families, with a total amount of $3.2 million.
This means that many of his properties have to be compensated to the victims through auctions, and Endeavour Modeling Agency escaped because it was previously picked out by a group of lawyers.
Runet did not appeal, nor did he want to keep his fortune any longer. He had prepared several secret accounts for his family and himself, so that even if he was in prison, he could still enjoy a prosperous life.
If he continues to appeal, he will not be granted parole, which will make the rest of his life boring and long.
Therefore, from the beginning, he did not think of letting his family control his own estate, because these industries not only do not bring profit, but also become a source of evil.
The other thugs were also sentenced to various prison terms, and his main assistant, Carneroga, was supported by Zhou You, through Demosa, who re-established relations with many bigwigs from the outside world, and also signed a number of unequal agreements, and in the end, he not only retained his original stake in the Runette industry, but was also sentenced to only two years in prison.
For these people, two years is just a short period of time, as long as the foundation is still there, and when the two years come out, they will soon become big people who call for wind and rain.
Only Runette is completely a thing of the past. Now he can only drag a waste leg and spend his days in prison. (To be continued.) )
