Chapter 392: Big Fish, Luo An with black eyes
Hearing Mona's voice, Luo An immediately walked out of the conference room with his mobile phone, and asked as he walked:
"What's the situation?"
"I've been wondering where Hux, a thirty-five-year-old guy who has been in and out of prison many times and has less than five hundred dollars in bank balances, got the money to open such a gun club."
Mona stepped back and moved out of the way, showing the information on the computer to Roan, explaining:
"It's not a trivial task to open a gun club, it requires a lot of start-up capital.
So I checked Hux's finances and found that a large amount of money he had first received came from a one-man conglomerate. ”
Luo An bent down to look at the computer, and the screen was information about the one-man conglomerate, which showed that the group had more than fifty limited companies, all set up overseas.
"Cayman Islands, Belize, Isle of Man ......"
Luo An looked at the addresses opened by these companies, and his brows raised slightly:
"It seems that these companies are used to transfer funds and launder money, and they can clean large sums of money without leaving a trace...... I'm afraid there's a big fish behind this. ”
"But I can't find out what's really going on with those companies."
Mona behind Luo An scratched her head, there were too many cross-shareholdings, diversification and other behaviors between these companies, and there were many places that were not shown to the public, she couldn't find out who was the boss behind these companies by herself.
"Teach you a way."
Luo An thought for a while, turned to Mona and smiled:
"Cross-compare the accounts of these companies with the physical facades they own to see which region they have the most facades and who is buying those facades."
After listening to Luo An's words, Mona's eyes lit up, slapped Luo An's arm hard, and immediately began to tap the keyboard:
"OK, I'll do it now."
Mona's computer began to flicker with complicated pages, and Roan, who was standing behind her, groaned for a while, suddenly thought of something, turned around and walked quickly into the conference room, and then returned to his team leader's office.
After a long time, Mona suddenly showed a smile on her face, raised her hand and said loudly:
"Roan! I ......"
Boom!
As soon as the words began, there was a sudden sound of knocking on the table in the team leader's office, Mona was startled and hurriedly stopped talking and looked back, and then found Luo An holding a folder and walking out of the team leader's office with a blank face.
Luo An preempted Mona and asked:
"Mona, what did you find?"
"Uh...... I found out that one of the more than 50 companies had a trust fund that bought more than a dozen buildings in a certain city in Canada.
The chairman of this trust fund is named Ronnick Sheffield.
And Ronnick Sheffield's husband is named Trevion Sheffield. ”
Mona researched the couple's personal information, leaving more areas on the screen to her husband:
"According to the FBI's internal database, Trevian-Sheffield has been prosecuted on many counts such as flour trafficking, murder, and many other crimes, but none of them have been found guilty.
In addition, the FBI's internal database speculates that several bank robberies, drug trafficking gangs, and hired murderers in California are related to him, but there is no evidence, and he is an out-and-out underworld figure. ”
Luo An nodded and explained:
"We've been looking at the case that Taylor Davis had worked on before his death, so we didn't find any clues.
Just now I checked the work diary recorded by Tyler Davis, which shows that he will deal with a big case with the federal Department of Justice next month, and the specific content of the big case is not written in the log.
I just called the Department of Justice, and the Department of Justice sent me a case report for that case, which showed that the case was related to Trevian-Sheffield. ”
The reason why Luo An knocked on the table just now was not because he thought of this, but because the documents sent by the Ministry of Justice were all black at a glance.
Throughout the document, Roan only saw the name of Trevion Sheffield and the names of the victims, Tyler Davis and Hux, and saw nothing else, and more than a dozen pages of text were all blacked out, with black blocks accounting for 98%.
Luo An's face was full of speechlessness.
However, considering that a federal president was indicted in the future, the FBI faced media inquiries and took out positive documents full of black blocks, and the media and the public were in an uproar...... Luo An can only sigh that these federal law enforcement agencies are really in the same vein, and they don't care about any influence and opinion, as long as it works.
"So, you mean ......"
Mona pondered for a few seconds, looked up at Luo An, and said:
"The Justice Department secretly prepared a court ready to send Trevane Sheffield to prison, with Tyler Davis as one of the prosecutors and Hukes as a juror or witness.
As a result, Trevane Sheffield got the news out of nowhere, and then found someone to kill Taylor Davis and Hux. ”
"From the information given to me by the Ministry of Justice, telling me about this court adjournment, I can basically determine this."
Luo An clasped his hands and nodded in agreement with Mona's statement, and continued:
"I've asked the Justice Department for the full list of the court participants they have prepared, including judges, jury members and witnesses, and they'll send me the message later.
We need to find out who leaked this news is, Trevyan Sheffield must have had many enemies over the years, and once he is crucified, Trevyan Sheffield will definitely not be able to leave prison for the rest of his life.
In order not to go to jail, Trevian-Sheffield may still do it, and there will be jurors or witnesses who die later. ”
The jury system is a feature of federal law, whereby in addition to the judge, there are about 12 jurors sitting next to the courtroom to hear evidence, hear witnesses, listen to the statements of the defender and prosecutor, and finally make a legal judgment about the defendant and the prisoner.
The 12 jurors are usually selected at random, and their personally identifiable information is kept confidential in the event of a criminal case, preventing the defendant or the plaintiff from contacting them before or after the fact.
Many people praised the jury system as a guarantee of fairness and democracy in judicial decisions, as well as a sense of identity and participation in the justice system among federal citizens.
But because of the jury system, a large number of "eloquent" defense lawyers have emerged in the United States.
Not only do they read the law thoroughly and know how to apply it, but they are always able to persuade the jury to exonerate the offender or reduce the guilt of the offender.
After all, the jury is full of people, and it is human beings who are influenced by personal prejudices and social values, as shown in a certain movie, where a lawyer who said to the jury "This is not freedom" is politically correct and wins the defense.
As for the quality of the jury system, Luo An did not comment on it, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, he pasted the photos of the twelve jurors and six witnesses handed over to him by the Ministry of Justice on the wall of the conference room.
With a brief glance, Roan looked back at Mona, Lacey, and Michelle and asked:
"So any of the eighteen survivors had ties to Trevian-Sheffield, or the organizations around him?
Has anyone ever received an unusually large sum of money, or has recently spent unusually large? ”
Lacey and Mona shook their heads in unison, and Michelle raised her hand, picked up a person's personal information, and said:
"I found one, and she's supposed to be the whistleblower on the jury."
