Outside the official residence, the media and the melon-eating crowd who followed over to watch were still hotly discussed, but after seeing people coming out of the door one after another, they all quieted down and cast their curious eyes over.

"Hey, that's ...... The people of the Shacklers! ”

"That's right, that's Arthur, the head of the Sackler family, and they are really in the governor's residence, which means that the reason why the IRS is armed this time is really for them!"

"The governor brought in the National Guard to protect the people of the Zackler family, and the IRS brought in armed robbers, which is confirmed, and then it exploded......

Although almost everyone had guessed before, the reason why the IRS was armed was because the people of the Sackler family were protected by the governor as a last resort.

But speculation is just speculation after all, and now, they have finally seen it with their own eyes, which makes everyone's hearts shake.

And then again, this time David forcibly took people away from the governor, which can definitely be regarded as a slap in the face of the governor of California in front of the whole world, so can the governor of California swallow this breath?

Next, whether the governor will anger the IRS because of this, and whether the IRS will affect its tax revenue in California, is a concern for many people now.

"You bring people back to the bureau first, and Major Fernanpreo, you can let your people close the team, it's hard work."

David explained, then walked to the area where the media was.

This matter is now too big, and he must stand up and issue a statement to alleviate the public opinion storm that the IRS will face next.

"Chief David, may I ask why the people of the Shackler family are here, and are they under the protection of Mr. Governor?"

"Chief David, does your IRS have evidence of the Shacklers?"

"Director David, did you have a conflict with Governor Bogwana?"

“……”

As soon as they saw David's arrival, a group of media asked questions.

David pressed his hands down and motioned for everyone to calm down first, and only after the scene was silent did he speak: "I want to make it clear that our IRS has not had any conflict with Mr. Governor, and the reason why we are here is first of all because this family has been found to have a problem with taxes." ”

"Secondly, because we received the news that the people of the Shackler family came to the governor's residence, and this family has been mixed with terrorists with the intention of attacking Mr. Governor, and we have come to arrest this family at the same time, but also to protect Mr. Governor."

When the words fell, everyone's brains felt a burst of fog.

Terrorists in the Sackler family?

Also intent on attacking the governor?

But soon, everyone reacted quickly.

There are terrorists on the spot, this is just an excuse for the IRS to avoid the situation from escalating.

The truth of the matter, I'm afraid is just as everyone thinks, the governor originally intended to shelter the Sackler family, which caused the current situation!

Thinking of this, the media began to ask again: "Director David, since the 911 incident, my country's anti-terrorism security has been upgraded by several levels, and Los Angeles, as an international metropolis, is even more strict here, and there are no terrorists who can get in, right?" Can you still enter the governor's residence? ”

"This is not necessarily, no matter how strict the security is, there are loopholes, okay, I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I'll go back first."

David came for an interview just to make a legal statement about the operation, and it doesn't matter if these people believe it or not, just let them go.

This night is destined to be another sleepless night for countless people.

Because many people have already received the news that the trial of the Sackler family will be held tomorrow in the Los Angeles IRS city courtroom.

With such a rapid speed, many people can basically conclude that the Los Angeles IRS has a very precise chain of evidence against the Shackler family.

Governor's Residence.

Borgwana was silent for a long time after receiving this news, and finally seemed to have made some important decision: "Help me inform me that I am going to hold a mutual aid meeting!" ”

"Mr. Governor, this ...... There's no need. ”

All members of Freemasonry can convene a Freemason as long as they reach level 20; All members are invited to gather together to discuss important matters.

The current Borgwana is at level 25, where it can only be used once every two years.

As a result, Winiford felt that it would be a bit of a waste of biennial resources to convene a Freemason for this matter.

After all, there are still many ways to get revenge on David, given the power held by their state government.

"No, it must be convened, otherwise how can the Sarkler family be pardoned by the president!"

"Huh?"

Listening to Bogwana's words, Winiford felt a little confused at first, but he quickly reacted, and he suddenly asked: "Mr. Governor, you want the Shackler family to be pardoned?" ”

"How did the person take me here, I'll let him release it for me!"

With his governor's powers, there are many ways to get revenge on the IRS, but none of those retaliations can undo the breath he suffers today.

It's a shame that the armed forces surrounded his governor's mansion.

So in Borgwana's thinking, only after David sends the Sackler family in, and then he rescues the people of this family in front of the whole world, can he slap David back in the face!

Of course, in addition to this breath, he must do something if he wants to stabilize the California economy and prevent the Thackler family from showing signs of fleeing because of this Sackler incident.

For example, the rescue of the sanctioned Sackler family from David will make those large and small companies think that he Bogwaner is still capable of protecting them.

And to do that, it is necessary to convene a Freemasonry.

Because only by using the influence of Freemasonry can he have enough energy to put pressure on the White House to achieve this goal, otherwise, he alone as a California governor will not have enough influence to make the White House do this.

"I see, I'll go and let you know."

Winifford didn't say anything more, and immediately turned to leave.

……

It was the next morning.

"Good morning viewers, this is KNBS TV, we have arrived at the door of the Los Angeles IRS, the trial against the Sackler family will be held at 10 o'clock in the morning, the IRS is not open to the media at the moment, let's wait for the next result......"

A large number of media reporters have arrived at the door of the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service, broadcasting the scene on the ground.

Inside the IRS, David was looking through the evidence file for the pending trial, and after making sure there was no problem, he pushed the door out and went to Judge Nicola's office to communicate.

At 9.50 a.m., David Nicola pushed the door open and walked in the direction of the courtroom.

When I arrived, the people invited to the auditorium were already seated, and everything was ready.

"All stand up."

In the passage, Nicola walked out, sat down in her seat, and said, "Take the defendant!" ”

The words fell, and in the passage on the other side, important members of the Shackler family were brought out, including Hobson, who had killed Higgins before.

However, because of his leg injury, his way of playing is also different, and he was pushed out in a wheelchair.

"Defendants Arthur Shackler, Mariano Shackler, Theresa Shackler Hobson Shackler...... Now accusing you of tax evasion, what do you say? ”

Faced with Nicola's question, the lawyer of the Shackler family immediately stood up and replied: "Your Excellency, my client denies this accusation. ”

"Okay, I'd like to ask Director David to come out and make a statement."

David stood up from the gallery, walked to the front of the court with two documents, and said: "Your Excellency, I have a document here that can prove that the Pudu pharmaceutical company controlled by the Shackler family was suspected of a large amount of tax fraud from 2001 to 2015. ”

"There is also a document that can confirm that from 2016 to 2022, many members of the Sackler family also sold the drug OxyContin to pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies, and criminals in violation of regulations, and made huge profits from it!"

After reading carefully for ten minutes, Nicola looked at the dock and said: "Defendant, according to the documents, from 2001 to 2015, your family and Silke Pharmaceutical Group, Ao Naner Medical Company, and ...... Tens of billions of deals have been reached, but according to your Pudu Pharmaceutical's financial report, it is only 3.66 billion, how can you explain this? ”

"Your Excellency, I would like to see this document."

"Yes."

The bailiff immediately took the documents into the hands of the lawyer of the Nicola family, and the lawyer, after reading them carefully, finally shook his head helplessly at Arthur in the dock.

"Defendants Hobson, Mariano, Theresa, ......, according to this document, from 2016 to 2022, your family was ordered by the regulatory authorities to ban the large-scale sale of the drug OxyContin because of a suspected scandal, and finally in March 2016, you announced a 70% reduction in production."

"According to the documents, your production has not decreased, but increased by 1.6 year-on-year, and these excess productions, according to the information, have been sold to some criminals as Director David said, how do you explain it?"

Anyway, without waiting for the lawyer to speak, Nicola directly handed over the documents to the bailiff, who quickly forwarded them to the lawyer of the Sackler family.

After some observation, the lawyer said: "Your Excellency, although this document confirms that the production of Pudu Pharmaceutical has increased, it does not prove that it must be sold to criminals. ”

Nicola did not rush to refute, but looked at David, who did not talk nonsense, and said: "Your Excellency, this document does not completely prove that the excess production was sold to criminals, but it doesn't matter, I have witnesses, and I ask for permission to attend." ”

"Allowed."

In the passage, the group was brought out by the inspectors of the Internal Revenue Bureau, but to the surprise of many people in the auditorium, Victoria of the Camorra family was actually among them.

But soon they understood that the Camorra family should have an interest in the Shackler family, so they were also 'rebelled' to testify.

"Defendant, please introduce yourself and how it relates to this case."

When the witness arrived at the witness stand, Nicola immediately asked.

Victoria was the first to stand up and said: "Your Excellency, my name is Victoria Camorra, my family and I have cooperated with the Shackler family since 2016 when they were supervised, and we will send them a batch of OxyContin drugs worth 20 million every month......

Under her detailed explanation, everyone now understood the transaction between the two families, which can be regarded as confirming that during the period from 2016 to 2022, the Shackler family did sell part of the excess production of OxyContin to the Camorra family.

In other words, the Sacklers not only increased production in violation of regulations, but also did not pay the tax due to the IRS on the income from the increase in production.

After Victoria finished speaking, she looked at David, looking a little apprehensive, and it was not until David nodded that her face showed joy.

She finally didn't have to die in prison.

She only needs to stay for a maximum of ten years before she can come out and enjoy this wonderful world again!

"Your Excellency, my name is Antonio......"

In the following time, the remaining witnesses also took turns to testify, confirming the transactions with the Sackler family over the years.

At this time, everyone in the auditorium has already made up their minds that the Sackler family, which has been bombarded by the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Congressional hearings in turn, is now planted in the hands of the IRS!

However, it is worth mentioning that there is one thing that makes many people at the scene feel very strange.

It stands to reason that this kind of death has come to an end, and the people of the Sackler family don't say that they are, but at least you have to have the emotions of panic and uneasiness, right?

But the Shackler family in the dock, not to mention important figures such as Arthur, Mariano, and Theresa, even the second ancestor like Hobson did not show too much panic and uneasiness, which is very abnormal!

What is the reason why the people of the Sarkler family are still fearless at such a time?

Could it be ......

Still counting on the California governor who sheltered them before to get them out?

But now that the case is ironclad, and the sentence is about to be handed down and sent to prison, no matter how powerful the governor of California is, it is impossible to save them.

Everyone in the auditorium thought about it for a long time but didn't understand this.

Of course, what they didn't expect was that the reason why the people of the Shackler family had not panicked until now was because they had received the news that Bogwana was going to hold a Freemasonry.

And the content of the meeting will be to put pressure on the White House to get the president's pardon, which is why they have not shown panic until now!

"Now the verdict is pronounced against Arthur Thackler, Mariano Thackler, Theresa Thackler...... On suspicion of tax fraud, tax evasion, and the amount is particularly huge, he was convicted and sentenced to 1,000 years in prison without parole for life! ”

"Defendant Hobson Shackler is suspected of tax evasion and killing of an IRS inspector...... He was convicted and sentenced to 10,000 years in prison without parole for life! ”

"For the above defendants and the Pudu Pharmaceutical Company involved, in addition to the recovery of the amount of tax evasion, a combined penalty of 13 billion US dollars!"

As Nicola's verdict fell, many people in the audience also felt a trembling heart.

First, Hobson of the Shacklers, the second inmate in the IRS's many years of history, after Rodgorsky, to be sentenced to 10,000 years in prison.

This is also a well-paid price for the killing of the IRS inspector.

Secondly, it is a $13 billion fine.

You know, in 2018, the Sackler family and the Ministry of Justice also reached a fine, but it was only 8.3 billion.

And now it's 13 billion, if this is really implemented and collected, even a rich family like Sackler may have to go bankrupt.

"This trial is over!"

The people in the auditorium began to get up and leave one after another, and Neeson also came to David's front and said with a serious expression: "Director, this seems to be a little wrong, their emotions shouldn't be very stable." ”

David is not blind, he naturally saw that the people of the Sackler family were very emotionally stable from before and after the verdict was announced, did anyone reassure them?

But what kind of reassurance can make them so calm?

"Director David, thank you so much for all this."

The voice behind him made David stop thinking and turn his head, it turned out to be Higgins's wife and son Morgie, and they were also invited to watch the trial today.

"No thanks, that's what I'm supposed to do."

"Let the murderer be punished as he deserves, I believe you have comforted my husband's spirit in the sky."

"Yes, ma'am, have you been in trouble these days?"

"No, we're all right."

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

After a few small talks, David left first because he had to go out to inform the media about the outcome of the trial.

After arriving at the door, the media immediately rushed up to ask questions, and David also told the sentence and the amount of the penalty one by one.

"Ward Law, Hobson, the killer of the IRS inspector, was sentenced to 10,000 years in prison? It's horrible! ”

"What a joy to behold, this damn Sackler family has finally been punished!"

"Hehe, the Department of Justice, the Food and Drug Administration, the FBI, and even the congressional hearings had nothing to do with the Sackler family, and the IRS had to take action!"

When they heard the results of the trial, the people who were paying attention all over the country instantly boiled.

Especially the families who were brutalized by Pudu Pharmaceutical, and because the Shackler family was finally punished, they clapped their hands and applauded loudly.
