Chapter 397: Discussion in the conference room, arrest plan
Special Investigation Unit, Conference Room.
In the center of the whiteboard is a photograph of a middle-aged white man in a black suit with a federal standard smirk with eight teeth.
"This is the guy we are going to send him to prison for this case."
Luo An pointed to the guy in the photo and introduced to the agents in the conference room:
"Trevion Sheffield, 39 years old, has a wife, Ronnieke Sheffield, a son who attends school in other countries outside the Commonwealth.
According to the FBI's internal database, Trevian-Sheffield is a standard template for a man who started out in the underworld.
At the beginning, he led a few people to rob a number of banks, saved the first pot of gold, and then began to sell drugs and smuggle, he did not grab land like ordinary gangsters, but continued to expand his legitimate industry, and used the money he got to open a leather bag company to help him launder money and make money. ”
After Luo An's brief introduction, he turned his attention to Cecilia, the head of the Ministry of Justice, and the other party was not polite when he saw this, he got up directly and walked to the whiteboard, took the pen that Luo An handed her, and continued to introduce:
"Trevane Sheffield is a guy who likes to make a quick buck.
In the face of industry competition between companies, he often hires killers, or lets his subordinates directly solve the boss of the other company.
At first, when Trevian-Sheffield's company was short of funds for expansion, this guy directly used kidnapping and ransom and bank robbery to get money, launder it and inject the money into the company in batches.
We noticed Trevian-Sheffield a long time ago and sent an undercover agent to his side, but they were cautious and we never managed to catch him......"
The head of the Department of Justice, Cecilia, talked eloquently with the documents at hand, and Luo An listened for a moment, and finally figured out the reason why they hadn't brought each other down for so long:
Not only is he rigidly enforcing federal laws, firmly believing in procedural justice and not being able to find crucial evidence, but he is also selfish and uncooperative, and has always wanted to handle the Trevian-Sheffield case on his own and eat his own cake.
If Roan hadn't led the special investigation team and first caught Sampson, the killer who killed Judge Tyler Davis, the owner of the Witness Club, Hux, and Juror Annette, the head of the Justice Department's Cecilia team, would never have participated in this meeting.
Even if he participated, Team Leader Cecilia wouldn't say so much, and he would hand the document that was 98% blacked out to Roan and Elmer.
Thinking of this, Roan looked at the Cecilia team leader with prominent cheekbones, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and then looked at Elmer, the team leader who was sitting opposite him.
When he heard Team Leader Cecilia say that the amount of money laundered by Trevion Sheffield over the years was probably more than $100 million, Team Leader Elmer's breathing became slightly short.
There is less than a month left until the annual Christmas of the Federation.
Every Christmas, the IRS conducts a comparison of the content of various aspects of the work, and the capable are the best and the mediocre are down.
Once the case was settled, Elmer felt he might have a chance to go one step further.
Team Elmer subconsciously turned his head and looked at Luo An with happy eyes, but found that Luo An first looked at the team leader Cecilia who was talking eloquently in front of him, and then gave himself a look, Elmer was slightly stunned, and then handed back a look to Luo An.
In the next second, the corners of the mouths of the two foxes, one old and one young, rose slightly, and they both understood each other's meaning:
The cake of this case is not small, and the leadership cannot be handed over to Cecilia, the head of the Ministry of Justice, to work together to squeeze her out first, and then discuss which of the two of them will take the lead.
So when Team Leader Cecilia, who was standing in front of the whiteboard, said that they had been investigating Trevyn Sheffield for a long time, and that her investigation team would be responsible for the follow-up work, Team Leader Elmer immediately stood up with a smile:
"Team Leader Cecilia, how about I explain my plan for how to solve the Trevian-Sheffield case next?"
“…… OK。 ”
Team leader Cecilia had no reason to refuse, nodded and walked back to his place before leaving the whiteboard, Elmer coughed lightly twice, and said:
"We can do that next, first of all, we at the IRS-CI (IRS Criminal Investigations) can bring Trevyn Sheffield to us first......"
Elmer's plan is very simple, just like the original solution to the mafia boss Al Capone, directly bring Trevyan Sheffield into the IRS for a period of time, constantly tossing the other party on tax issues, so that the other party has no energy to deal with other things, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting off his contact with the outside world.
Anyway, the imperial power concession...... Federal law provides that the IRS-CI has the power to arrest a person before adducing evidence.
During this period, other law enforcement agencies took advantage of the panic of Trevyan-Sheffield's men to quickly find evidence + arrest + interrogation, get key evidence from these people, and finally put Trevyan-Sheffield in prison completely.
The plan is a bit old, but Elmer doesn't care, the routine doesn't work in the new, as long as it works.
After listening to Elmer's description, the leader of Cecilia, who had always wanted to take the lead, suddenly shook his head and stood up, and said:
"No, it's ...... to do this"
"Worthy of Team Elmer, he can think of a way to solve this case so quickly!"
Before Cecilia could finish her sentence, Roan stood up with a smile and applause and interrupted her.
Elmer smiled slightly, and then sang and quickly drew up a specific plan of action with Roan, without giving Cecilia a chance to interject at all.
“*#%……”
Team leader Cecilia, who has worked in the Ministry of Justice for so many years, is not a fool, and soon realizes that Roan and Elmer have privately discussed the matter of case dominance.
After formulating the plan with Elmer, Luo An smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Cecilia, and asked with a smile:
"I wonder if Team Leader Cecilia has any suggestions for this course of action?"
In view of the fact that the plan developed by Roan and Elmer together was far more successful and efficient than the plan he had drawn up before, Team Leader Cecilia glanced at the other agents in the conference room, took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, and chose to suffer this dark loss, and replied:
"Nope."
The scenario developed by Roan and Elmer looks fair:
The IRS is holding Trevion Sheffield, cutting him off from the outside world for a short period of time, and investigating Trevian-Sheffield's tax issues.
The Special Investigation Unit blocked Trevane-Sheffield's companies and properties, arrested his men, prevented anyone from leaving the Commonwealth, or diverted funds.
The Justice Department's Cecilia investigation team has a pile of evidence in its hands and is tasked with interrogating Trevian-Sheffield's men, with the Special Investigations team assisting in quickly identifying the crucial evidence that could send Trevian-Sheffield to prison.
Of course, as mentioned earlier, the action plan "looks" fair.
Because there is one most important content, which is not in the plan, that is, how to distribute the harvest after the case is over.
Most of Trevane-Sheffield's companies and funds were ill-gotten and were later blocked and confiscated by federal law enforcement.
Federal law enforcement has no need to operate them, and will only sell them to those willing to buy them.
The vast majority of the money is later taken away by the federal government, but the law enforcement team that handled the case also gets a small share.
But how to divide this small part......
Roan and Elmer looked at each other, smiled, and turned to look at Team Leader Cecilia.
Team leader Cecilia from the Ministry of Justice: "......"
