Detention cell.

After Marcellus and the others were brought back, they thought that they would soon be arraigned by the Western Suburbs Bureau, or by David.

And they were also ready to hemorrhage after taking the soft, but they didn't expect to wait for a long night, and no one came to interrogate them, and they didn't even let them make a phone call, which made them feel extremely irritable.

Finally, Valentin couldn't bear the torment anymore, he put his foot on the iron fence and yelled at the guards not far away: "What the fuck is going on with your IRS, you have to give us a letter if you want to kill or chop us!" ”

"Shut up!"

The guards did not show weakness at all, and immediately replied.

"...... the"

"Okay Valentin!"

Marcellus stepped forward and grabbed Valentin, who was about to run away, and comforted: "They can't keep us locked up all the time, they just want to teach us a lesson, be patient......"

He thinks it's because they didn't pay the tax by 3 o'clock yesterday according to David's orders, and David is now imposing punishment.

Not long after the words fell, a person suddenly walked in at the door, and after seeing this person, the expressions of the Xiong people finally eased a little.

Because it was none other than Bucky, who had seen Bucky with David yesterday.

Looks like David is going to meet them!

That's what all the people in the bear country think, but Bucky's next words made them dumbfounded.

Marcellus, Valentin...... Gentlemen, you can now call a lawyer. ”

"Looking for a lawyer? Don't need it......"

Marcellus and the others didn't realize what was happening, and they thought that now that David had swept their warehouses and arrested so many of them, they would have to pay their taxes and there was no need to go to a lawyer to talk about it.

"No, they should be able to use it in court."

As soon as these words came out, all the people of Xiongguo felt that their brains were a little short-circuited.

Marcellus was the first to react, and when he realized that something was not right, he asked tentatively, "To the court?" What court? ”

"Your group is suspected of major tax evasion cases, and it will be tried in two hours, that is, at 10 o'clock, in the court of our city bureau!"

"What do you say!!"

Everyone in the bear country is stupid.

The words were so clear, how could they not have realized what this was all about.

They had always believed that David had taken them back and locked them up overnight just to teach them a lesson and force them to pay their taxes.

But now, Davy is going to beat them to death!

Thinking of this, the people of Xiong began to panic.

They knew that when David was in Nevada before, after he brought everyone to court, the final sentence for that person would not be less than 1,000 years.

If they are sent up, once they are convicted, they will not be able to confess to prison for the rest of their lives.

Marcellus resisted the panic in his heart and said, "Chief Bucky, this ...... What the hell is going on, we are willing to pay taxes, there is no need to send us to court so seriously. ”

"Huh?"

Bucky sneered and replied disdainfully: "Our director gave you a chance before, but you don't know how to cherish it, so now you can only blame yourself." ”

Hearing this, the people of the bear country were a little anxious again, and Valenjing couldn't care about anything else, and pleaded: "Chief Bucky, it was our fault before, and now we know that we are wrong, please tell Director David that we are willing to pay the tax truthfully...... If you need to, it's not impossible to contribute to the IRS by paying more......"

"yes, yes, Bucky, help talk to Director David."

"Bucky, help out......"

No matter how fierce and powerful their organization is on the outside, now that it's in the hands of the IRS, it's a fish on the chopping block.

So in order to be able to escape the sanctions, these bear people have also lost the arrogance of the previous drug dealers, and they are almost begging one by one.

But Bucky ignored them, turned to the guards and instructed, "Look at them, only the lawyer is allowed, not anyone else!" ”

"Understood."

"Bucky's tax chief!"

Looking at the departing Bucky, the bears let out a hysterical roar.

And a bear country man even scolded Marcellus: "Damn, I said a long time ago that this David is not easy to mess with, and it will be over after paying the tax according to his requirements, I have to compete with him for what right to speak, what conditions, what to do now?!" ”

Marcellus also had a bitter face.

In fact, this was Rodgosky's decision, and he really didn't expect that David would be so ruthless even if he had so much information about their group, and he would arrest them back without even saying a word to them, and he would be sent to court for trial.

If he had known, he would have had to pay the tax to the loan sharks, but it was too late to say anything now......

……

Downtown Los Angeles is located at the intersection of Long Beach and the western suburbs, and as the time approached 10 o'clock, IRS officers from several districts, other administrations, and a number of invited people arrived here.

And a large number of media reporters are also here to broadcast.

"You can now see that some of our Los Angeles City Hall officials have been on the scene, including our City Manager, Mr. Duseppa, Deputy Mayor Hilf, and ......"

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the information we have received so far, the trial of the Western Suburbs Branch against the drug trafficking group in the jurisdiction will be held at 10 o'clock, because the trial of the IRS has always been closed, so we can only wait for news outside, please continue to watch our TV station."

"Hello audience friends, Director David of the Western Suburbs Branch has only been in office for 3 days, and this case is also his first case after taking office, let's see what the next result is......"

Amid the media chatter, the time came to 9.30 minutes.

At this time, I don't know who shouted at the scene, and then everyone turned their heads to look at it, only to see that a group of people from the Western Suburbs Branch led by David had arrived at the scene.

The media just wanted to rush in to conduct interviews, but they were isolated by the inspectors of the Western Suburbs Branch and failed to succeed, so they could only watch David walk in.

"Our protagonist for today is here."

Walking into the hall of the city bureau, the city director Filton immediately came to David and asked, "You are really resolute, Director David, it seems that you are very sure this time?" ”

"I'm not sure how to do such a big thing."

"That's fine, oh yes, I'll introduce you."

Field pointed his hand back, and then David realized that he was followed by a man about sixty years old, and although this person David had met for the first time, he was no stranger, because he was the former director of the Western Suburbs Bureau, Vivian.

"This is Wei Wei'an, the former director of your Western Suburbs Bureau, I think Director David should be no stranger to you."

"Sure, hello Director Vivian."

"Director David, I'm not the director now, just call me Vivian."

There was a hint of emotion in Vivian's tone, and there was a trace of imperceptible resentment in his eyes when he looked at David, which David naturally noticed, but he was not surprised.

The reason why Vivian lost the position of director and was ordered to retire is, of course, a problem of ability, but there are also reasons to make room for David.

Another point is that the Rodgosky case was investigated and handled during Vivian's tenure, and now David has turned the case over again, and he has made such a big fuss.

Once this case is really successfully implemented, and a large amount of tax evasion is detected, wouldn't the comparison between the two show the incompetence of his former director?

"Director David, Judge Nicola has informed you to come to her office and discuss the details of the case."

A hint from a staff member to come over eased the embarrassment at the scene, and David said to the two: "Sorry for the two ......"

"It's okay, go Director David."

Felton looked understanding, and after David left, he turned to Vivian and said, "Anyway, he is now the director of the Western Suburbs Branch, I don't think you need to give him a look like this." ”

"Felton, since the Western Suburbs Branch Bureau has made a decision from the General Bureau, then I have no opinion, I accept it, but he turned out the old case I seized before, which obviously wanted to step on my face to Liwei!"

In fact, the reason why Vivian is unhappy with David is that this reason occupies a large factor.

As the saying goes, people want their faces and bark.

After all, he has been here in Los Angeles for so long, if this case is more fruitful in David's hands, then where will he put his face?

"Forget it, it's not a big deal, Vivian, let's calm down......"

The two were not only colleagues but also friends for many years, and Filton could only comfort him as much as possible.

But Vivian didn't appreciate it very much, he snorted coldly and said: "He has only been in office for 3 days, I want to take a good look at how he convicted Rodgosky and these people!" ”

Felton could only shake his head helplessly, but he also wanted to see how much evidence David, the director of the bureau, who had just been in office for three days, had in charge of the group.

The judge's office was located on the seventh floor of the city bureau, and David came here and knocked on the door and walked in and held out his hand to Judge Nicola, who was about 50 years old inside: "Hello Judge Nicola. ”

"Hello Director David, I already know about the case, I called you this time, I just want to confirm it again, are you sure that your evidence is enough?"

Of course, Nicola knew that David Plus had only been in office for three days today, and she was afraid that the arrest of the Rodgoski Group had only started yesterday would have an impact on the image of the IRS if there was insufficient evidence to convict him at trial.

"I'm pretty sure."

"Well, what kind of punishment do you want for the people and witnesses to be tried?"

Although Nicola is said to be the biggest in court, this kind of case often has to consult the organizer of the case before she can do the standard of punishment.

"I've never been soft on this kind of tax evasion and huge amount of money in Nevada, and I hope that sentence will continue here in Los Angeles."

"Then I understand......"

"In addition, I have some witnesses who are also insiders of the Rodgorski Group, but I have reached an agreement with them to pay for not prosecuting by pointing to evidence, the specific list is ...... here"

David took out a list from his pocket and put it in front of Nicola, who also picked it up and looked at it carefully, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll do it, oh yes, I have something to tell you, we will have a live broadcast source for today's trial, which is required by the General Administration, and they want to watch this real-time trial." ”

Davy was stunned when he heard this, but he was quickly relieved.

He is now not only the head of the Los Angeles West Suburbs office, but also the face of the IRS as the elected person of the God-making Project.

And now this Rodgosky Group is his first case after taking office, and the IRS will naturally have a bright face if it is handled beautifully, and if it is done badly, the image of the IRS will be damaged, so it is natural for the General Administration to attach importance to his case this time.

Over the ensuing day, David and Nicola discussed some of the details of the case, and it wasn't until 9.50 a.m. that David pushed the door open and walked towards the other courtroom on the floor.

By the time we arrived at the courtroom, the auditorium was full, with City Hall, City Hall, and some of the invited celebrities in Los Angeles already present.

And as Nicola said, since the General Administration wants to watch in real time, the live camera feed here is already in place.

General Administration of Washington.

Obadia, Vertonghen, Donald and other IRS executives have also gathered in the conference room, watching the live broadcast of the trial from Los Angeles.

It can be seen that Donald and other David's supporters are still a little nervous about David's first case after taking office, and it is such a case with wide impact.

Under their intently watchful gaze, the time also came to 10 o'clock.

"All stand up."

In the passage, as Nicola, dressed in a judge's robe, walked out, everyone on the scene also stood up in unison.

And when Nicola came to the judgment seat and sat down, everyone sat down in unison.

"The trial against the members of the Rodgorsky drug cartel is now open, with the accused!"

When the words fell, the people from the Western Suburbs Branch brought Marcellus, Valentin and others out.

As soon as these people arrived, they immediately began to sweep their eyes downward, and when they saw David sitting in the auditorium, a Xiong Guoren immediately shouted: "Director David, you don't have to do this, keep us and we will contribute to your IRS every month, which is more cost-effective than sending us in." ”

Offstage, David was unmoved by these words.

The people of the bear country were desperate at first.

It was only after they were brought to the dock that Nicola spoke, "Marcellus, Valentin, Abram...... Now that you are accused of tax evasion, and the amount is very large, what do you have to say? ”

Marcellus and the others were silent, while the lawyer they urgently found raised his hand and stood up, and said: "Your Excellency, since the IRS has accused my client of tax evasion, I want to show practical evidence to prove it!" ”

Nicola looked at the big David in the audience and asked, "Director David, the case was investigated by your Western Suburbs Branch, so please provide evidence." ”

David nodded and gave Simmons next to him a look, and Simmons immediately stood up and delivered the prepared file bag to the on-site staff.

And the palace staff at the scene sent these files to Nicola.

Nicola opened them one by one and looked at them, and after seven or eight minutes, there was a hint of relief between her eyebrows, and then she picked it up and said to the defense lawyer: "Defense lawyer, I have here a copy of your client's fund account information, as well as detailed information on funds, and witness testimony materials. ”

"Your Excellency, I would like to take a look."

Nicola immediately handed over the documents to the staff, and then passed them to the defense lawyer, who looked at them carefully, showed a solemn look on his face, and finally walked to Marcellus and the others with these documents, wanting them to confirm them.

And Marcellus and the others looked at their accounts and fund details on the documents, and the only remaining luck in their hearts collapsed instantly, and their faces were as ugly as their dead mothers.

General Administration of Washington.

Although the high-level officials could not see the contents of the documents at the scene, they could roughly infer it from the expressions of the defense lawyers and Marcellus.

One of David's supporters said proudly: "I said a long time ago, since David dares to hold a trial today, he must be sure, how can it be arbitrary?" ”

Although the other supporters did not speak out, most of the stones in their hearts also fell to the ground, and as for the people of Vertonghen Khan, their faces were a little silent.

The scene of the trial.

Looking at the defense lawyer and the defendant one by one, Nicola on the stage continued to speak: "The defendant, and the defense lawyer, you don't argue with these documents, do you? ”

The defense lawyer paused and replied: "Your Excellency, some of the accounts and funds in these documents are indeed my client's, but some are not my client's, and this point needs to be distinguished. ”

He knew that with such detailed information, the charge of tax evasion would definitely not be cleared.

And all he can do now is to try his best to clear the charge for Marcellus and others, and strive not to be sentenced so severely.

In terms of these account information, from his professional point of view, many of them are held through third-party institutions and other people, so this is a point that can be refuted slightly.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's summon the witnesses in the possession of the Western Suburbs Branch."
