"What you say makes sense, so do what you say."

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, David immediately called Lewis over and asked him to inform the media about the arrival of the live broadcast at that time.

A short time later, there was a knock on his office door, and Neeson walked in and said, "Director, the lawyer for the Camorra family said he wanted to see you." ”

David paused and said, "Let him in." ”

A few minutes later, a blonde woman walked in and introduced herself, "Hello Director David, my name is Cathy and I'm the appointed attorney of the Camorra family. ”

"Hello Ms. Cathy, please be seated."

"That's the case, Director David, my client has received the news of the trial this afternoon, so I want to entrust me to talk to you to see if there is any room for recovery in this matter."

After sitting down, Cathy didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

"It's all this time, don't you think it's a little late?"

In fact, David didn't bother to clean up the Camorra family, but this family was too jumpy, and even if he publicly gave Pips a platform, he dared to string up the other two councillors to get involved, so it was no wonder that he died.

"That's the case, Director David, my client has realized his mistake, they have accumulated some wealth over the years, if you are willing to raise your hand, then they can pay a generous fine, this amount will definitely satisfy you!"

Dai showed a harmless smile and said, "Even if I don't raise my noble hand, isn't their family's funds from our Western Suburbs Branch?" ”

Cathy was stunned by this, but she soon realized that there was nothing wrong with David's words.

With the authority of the IRS, as long as it can be convicted and established that the Camorra family is suspected of tax evasion and is a criminal, then the family's wealth can indeed be fully collected into the tax treasury.

In this way, it seems a bit of a joke for her to pay a generous fine now.

After a long time, Cathy didn't give up, she quickly added: "Director David, the Camorra family has been operating in Los Angeles for so many years, either to promote them, they are just hens that lay golden eggs, and in the long run, it is far more valuable for you to keep them to generate taxes for you than to send them directly to prison." ”

"No, I don't agree with you, sending him to prison is what we're worthwhile for now."

"But Director David ......"

Cathy understands that in the past two days, the Western Suburbs Branch has been arresting people involved in the Camorra family on a large scale, and it is dispatching fighter planes to intercept it, and there must be sufficient evidence on hand.

Once this goes to court, even if she is proficient in the law, I am afraid that she will only lose the case, so she can only fight hard now.

But no matter what she said and what the price she offered, how could David, who was determined to use this family to kill chickens and monkeys, let go.

Seeing hopelessness, in the end, Cathy could only stand up helplessly, push the door and leave.

Not long after he left, Keanu pushed the door in, put a stack of documents on the table in his hand, and said, "Director, this is the chain of evidence of the Camorra family, you can take a look and see if there are any problems." ”

David nodded, then picked it up and looked at it, and after about an hour, his expression was a little silent as he looked through all the documents.

According to the inventory of the Western Suburbs Bureau, the total value of the Camorra family's cash, real estate, and some antique collectibles is about $1 billion.

Of course, for the Camorra family, who have ruled the Los Angeles underground for more than ten or twenty years, there is more than just this $1 billion asset.

Most of the assets were transferred to Switzerland by the family in various ways and stored in the Swiss bank, which is known as the safest in the world, with a total of 1.5 billion US dollars.

"Swiss banks again......"

Many of the cases that David had investigated before, such as the Narodgorski group, had many key members of the group who had put most of their money in Swiss banks, and now the Camorra family has put most of their money there.

The IRS, though powerful, is not yet big enough for the Swiss banks to give the money away, so it makes him feel like he's stuck in his throat right now.

That's $1.5 billion!

If he collects it, it will definitely be praised by the General Administration and even the White House.

After thinking about it for a while, David felt that it would not work like this, and that he had to find a way to see how to crack down on the safe of the Swiss bank, otherwise he always felt that no matter whether it was the previous Rodgoski group or the current Camorra family, it was a wedding dress for others.

Of course, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, after all, the black tax bill is the sword of Shang Fang in his hand, so the most important thing now is to settle the group of people who are making waves about the black tax bill and stabilize the foundation of power in his hands.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the City Office of the State Taxation Bureau of Long Beach District.

"Hello everyone, this is ABS TV, now I have arrived at the location of the trial, according to the notice issued by the Western Suburbs Branch, this round of trial, we have unprecedentedly obtained the permission to broadcast live, there is still half an hour before the trial will start, and we will give you a live broadcast of the live situation in real time......."

"Hello everyone, this is CBS ......"

Major media have come to the trial, and among them, ABS, CBS, and NBC, the three TV stations are particularly excited.

For no other reason, as they said, this time they were authorized to enter the live broadcast of the trial, which is unprecedented, and it is conceivable that this time it will definitely attract thousands of people in the United States to watch, and the ratings will inevitably explode!

"Oh, it's incredible that the Western Suburbs Branch actually allowed this round of trial to be broadcast live......"

"I've always wanted to see the IRS trial, and I want to see the angry and ruined faces of the convicted criminals, and now I finally have a chance!"

"Haven't many people been criticizing the IRS court for making a statement, but now it's okay, the western suburbs branch of the country directly allows public live broadcasting, which is democratic enough, right?"

“……”

Netizens and viewers didn't expect that this time the Western Suburbs Branch would allow the media to enter the live broadcast of the trial for the first time, but when they thought that they could see every move at the trial scene this time, they were naturally very excited and looking forward to it.

Under the media broadcast and the audience's heated discussion, the invited city hall, state legislature, and celebrities from all walks of life in Los Angeles gradually came to the scene.

Among them, Pips, and two councilors, Springhall Fulbin and Timothy Walker, who were later involved in the black tax bill, also came to the scene.

In fact, they didn't really want to come, because through various indications, it has been shown that this time the Camorra family is eighty percent dead, and they can't get anything good when they come.

However, the Camorra family is the leader of the Los Angeles underground, and the family has openly supported the three of Pips.

If the three of them don't come, it will definitely chill those outlaws, and they are here this time, not to mention what will happen to the Camorra family, but at least they are here to stand up for this family, and it can be regarded as a placation to those outlaws.

"Director David is here."

"Director David, is your Western Suburbs Branch sure of convicting the Camorra family today?"

"Director David, in order to intercept the people of the Camorra family, the IRS has gone to great lengths to dispatch F22F35 fighters, is it a waste of taxpayers' money?"

"Director Davy......"

Watching David's arrival, media outlets large and small flocked to him.

Seeing that David was not interested in being interviewed, Barkinison and others on the side were also very interested, and immediately opened their arms to stop the media reporters.

As he walked into the hall, David noticed that Felton and Director Joao of the state bureau had also stopped early.

One of them, Joao, came up to him and asked, "How about Director David, can you be confident in today's trial?" ”

"Don't worry, Director Joao, everything is under control, I'll go see Judge Nicola first."

After a brief conversation, David took the elevator all the way up to Judge Nicola's office, knocked on the door and entered.

"Here comes Director David."

Nicola put down the file in her hand, raised her head to look at David, and said with a little worry: "Director David, this is open to the media to come in and broadcast live...... There won't be any trouble, right? ”

"Don't worry about this, the chain of evidence of our Western Suburbs Branch is very complete, and there will be no negative impact."

The reason why the IRS trial has been closed all along, is mainly because when encountering some tax evaders whose evidence chain is not complete, it is indeed necessary to use arbitrary tactics to convict.

However, the chain of evidence he has now is very complete, and no one can find fault with it, so he is naturally not afraid of any public opinion.

"That's good......"

Nicola was relieved to hear this.

In the following time, the two discussed some details of the case and the sentencing standards.

It wasn't until the time came to 2.25 that they got up and got ready, and then came to the courtroom.

When you come here, you can see that the three major media that have been allowed to come in for live broadcast are already in place, and people from all walks of life who have been invited to come have also taken their seats.

After Davy looked at it, his eyes were on the three Pips who were sitting in a row, and these three people were not to be outdone, and they also cast sharp eyes.

"All stand up!"

Hearing the reminder from the court officers, David withdrew his gaze and came to his seat.

At this time, in the passage, the figure of Judge Nicola walked out, came to the judge's seat, and said: "Sit down, now the court is officially opened, and the defendant is present!" ”

In the passage on the other side, the members of the Camorra family were brought out one by one.

And looking at the celebrities and officials from all walks of life who used to be brothers and sisters with their family, all sitting in the auditorium and quietly watching their trial, the people of the Camorra family were somewhat sad and indignant at this moment.

Before they could think about it any longer, Nicola on stage spoke up: "Rickel Camorra, Bowison Camorra, Victoria Camorra...... Now this court charges you with tax evasion, murder, drug trafficking...... And so on, do you plead guilty to a series of crimes? ”

"Your Excellency, our family runs a legitimate business, I don't know where the slander of murder and drug trafficking comes from, I deny it!"

As the speaker of the Camorra family, Rickel did not mess up because he was in the dock, and stood up and denied it at the first time.

And the reason why he only denied drug trafficking and murder, and did not deny tax evasion, was because when he left on the plane yesterday, the batch of funds carried on the plane really couldn't be argued, so he could only say so first.

Nicola bowed slightly, and then looked at David, who was sitting: "Please ask the accuser to come out and make a statement." ”

David picked up the prepared documents, walked straight to the stage, and said to Nicola on the stage: "Your Excellency, according to our investigation, the total assets of the Camorra family in Los Angeles are $1 billion, and the total profits generated since the passage of the black tax bill are $110 million. ”

"And yesterday they also tried to leave the country in fear of crime, and after being intercepted by us, the plane carried 63 million in cash, which has no legal source,"

"In addition, here I also found the accounts of several Swiss banks of the Camorra family, which contain 1.5 billion US dollars from their family, as for the source of this batch of funds, our Western Suburbs Branch has also checked, through the ......"

As David told the operation of the Camorra family, as well as the laundering and transfer of funds, many people in the audience looked a little unnatural.

Because the Camorra family's funds can be cleaned so cleanly and transferred out, it has nothing to do with many of them.

But they were relieved when they remembered that Mayor Glitzer had told them yesterday that David was not going to implicate them in this way.

However, these people are relaxed, but the people on the side of the Camorra family are dumbfounded, shocked and shocked, and puzzled.

According to their understanding, the investigation launched by the Western Suburbs Branch against them was only a few days, and in such a short period of time, it was enough to find out the operation mode of their family, the channels of money laundering, and the operation method of transferring out, how could they even find out the funds of Swiss banks?

Of course, they didn't know that David had such a plug-in, otherwise they wouldn't have been so surprised.

"Okay Director David, bring me your papers."

The court staff immediately took away the documents and materials in David's hand and handed them to Nicola on the stage, and then she carefully flipped through them for more than ten minutes, and finally looked at the defendant's dock and asked: "Defendant, according to these documents, your family does have a large number of money laundering, asset transfer, tax evasion, etc., how do you explain it?" ”

No one from the Camorra family answered, and their lawyer, Cathy, said, "Your Excellency, I want to see these documents. ”
