Chapter 1959

This is a very special era, women's rights agencies, child protection agencies, are developing most rapidly!
After the news that the Duke's eldest grandson slept with an underage girl at night was exposed, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire Federation, and the trouble didn't stop there!
"Give her some money, give her family some money, and tell them to shut up, okay?"

In the middle of the night, the housekeeper called the Duke up. This is not Gefla, and many things are difficult to solve in Gefla's way.

The Duke lost his temper for a while, and then called his lawyer.

There are about 2 lawyers working in Bu Paine, among which there are about 700 lawyers in the three major law firms.

The rest are lawyers for each company.

His Excellency the Duke hired, of course, the best lawyers in the Federation, as well as lawyers from the three major law firms.

In order to provide better services, a group of seven lawyers arrived at the Duke's villa after three o'clock in the evening.

The leader of a lawyer team, mainly responsible for trial defense.

Generally, such lawyers are often graduates of judicial majors and have certain connections in the Ministry of Justice.

Known as the "Undefeated King", the lawyer with the highest winning percentage in the Federation. His father and father-in-law, one is the deputy minister of justice, and the other is a lifelong justice.

A person in charge of laws related to women and children, because this case involves underage girls, so more professional legal consulting services are needed.

A Bupain area criminal case specialist who can provide criminal advice.

Two experts who are proficient in the local laws of each federal state have a high weight level in the federal local laws.

In one state, the crime may be the death penalty, but in another state, it may be released after a few years of imprisonment. This requires experts who are proficient in all local laws of the entire state.

The other two provided advice and assistance outside the law. After all, judicial decisions are always outside the courts!
Such an elite team of lawyers only charges 2 yuan an hour, is it expensive?

Of course not expensive!

People who can afford such a team are not short of money, but those who can't find it will naturally not need it.

At this time, the Duke put forward his very "shallow" opinion, give some money, bribe the victims, tell them to shut up, and reconcile outside the hall.

They often do this in Gefra. After all, not all civilians have the courage to fight the nobles to the end!
In fact, it is similar in the Federation. As long as the money is in place, the probability of out-of-court settlement is relatively high.

In more common terms, the harm has already been done, and the pursuit of judicial justice is far less beneficial than giving a little more money.

Apologizing can only make you feel better for a while, but giving more money can make you feel better for a long time!
The lawyer in charge of off-court relations shook his head, "Your Excellency, I am very sorry, it is very difficult to bribe the victims to shut up in this case."

"Because that girl is underage, and...", he stopped and looked at the lead lawyer of the team.

The lead lawyer followed up his words and continued, "And your grandson also provides alcohol to more minors, and these alcohols are not legally registered alcohol."

"Whether he actually committed the crime of smuggling alcoholic beverages or providing a contraband to a minor is a federal felony."

"And..." the lawyer flipped through the documents in his hand, "These troubles may implicate you, Your Excellency the Duke."

The Duke's brows frowned even tighter. "The first question, if he pleads guilty to all the crimes and we find a way to get him to receive a lighter sentence, what kind of consequences will he accept?"

"Second question, what does it have to do with me if he messes around?"

The lead lawyer explained, "The first question is that if he pleads guilty in full, his sentence may exceed 50 years."

"According to the current federal law, smuggling contraband and providing contraband to minors requires 20 years in prison even with the maximum sentence reduction."

"But if you have sex with a minor and are suspected of violating the will of a woman, please forgive me, the maximum penalty for such a situation is death!"

"If you are willing to spend money to obtain the victim's forgiveness, donate a sum of money to women's rights organizations and child protection organizations, and then publicly apologize to the whole society."

"I can only say that the total sentence should be between 50 and 60 years."

In 60 years, at the age of his grandson, he was already a little old man when he came out.

If you are placed in a prison directly under the Ministry of Justice and the Prison Administration, there is a possibility of a commutation of sentence, even if it is 50 years, you will be released in about 30 years.

But the problem is that in such a public prison, there is a high probability that he will not survive when he comes out.

But if you transfer to a private prison, the environment is indeed good, but private prisons have very strict standards for commutation of sentences, and they will not let these cash cows go casually.

It's just the problem of his grandson that makes the duke very troubled!

"Second question, according to the materials in my hand, some of those drinks come from your private collection, Your Excellency the Duke."

"So when the court is in session, the judge will inevitably ask this question, the source of the drink."

"In addition to the ones he bought privately, there are some wines of yours. If you know what he will use these wines for, you will bear some joint and several liabilities."

"If you don't know what he's doing with your wine, then you're all right."

The Duke was very dissatisfied with the lawyer's words, "Did you use 'steal'?"

The lawyer was blunt, "Yes, Your Excellency the Duke."

"If you don't want to involve yourself in this case, you better explain to the judge that you have no idea that he stole your wine, let alone what he did with it."

"If you admit that you know, you have a small responsibility, but a small responsibility is a responsibility!"

"Please forgive me for being a bit direct. As a foreigner in the Federation, having a criminal record and not having a criminal record are two different things!"

His Excellency the Duke's complexion was even worse. Not only could he not save his child, but he had to stab him.

He struggled a little, "Is there no other way?"

At this time, his butler suddenly interjected, "Master, gentlemen, can he be extradited back to Gafla for trial?"

The Duke nodded as if thinking of something, "Yes, I remember that there is an extradition clause between Gefla and the Federation, we can fabricate a crime for him and let him return to Gefla."

Several lawyers looked at me and I looked at you, but they couldn't make a sound for a while.

Just when the duke couldn't wait to ask what they meant, the chief lawyer spoke.

"Your Excellency, don't you understand that someone is framing you and your grandson?"

"Do you think the extradition clause can take effect under such circumstances?"

"And you forgot that the government-in-exile is in the Federation. During the exile, if you fabricate charges for him, he will most likely be sentenced to death."

"Judges never give light sentences to people who have a bad record and committed such a serious crime!"

Your Excellency the Duke believed part of the letter, but not the whole letter, "You said someone framed me?"

The chief lawyer made his words a little clearer, "Your Excellency, you don't know enough about some things in the Federation."

"To enter such an occasion, valid identification information must be provided."

"They were able to go in because someone deliberately let them in."

"Of course what I said may not be correct, but I believe it should be true."

The Duke's expression gradually calmed down. When it came to quarreling and framing each other, he was not so anxious.

The opponent made a move, and he just had to fight back!

He thought for a moment, "Why would they do that?"

He asked himself, the housekeeper, and these lawyers.

The chief lawyer smiled, "This is not within the scope of my services, Your Excellency, this is your private matter."

"I only provide legal services within the scope of what the Federal Constitution allows me to do. I don't care about other things, and I won't interfere."

The Duke thought for a while and asked, "Then what do you think is the most important thing for me now?"

The lawyer gave him advice——

"First, find a way to obtain forgiveness from the victim and the victim's family."

"When sentencing, the judge will refer to the opinions of the victim and the victim's family to a certain extent."

"Second, apologize to the whole society as soon as possible, admit your mistakes, and don't try to hide or deceive."

"Third, donate as soon as possible before women's rights and child protection agencies start attacking you."

"Once they start to do it, it will be too late for you to donate money!"

"If you are not familiar with these organizations, we also provide corresponding donation channels..."

"As for your grandson, let him keep silent first!"

The Duke fully adopted the lawyer's suggestion and hired them to be the defense lawyer team for this case. For this, His Excellency the Duke is willing to pay 150 million basic lawyer fees.

This attorney fee is only for evidence collection and investigation and defense in court hearings.

After the case is concluded, no matter whether you win or lose the case, His Excellency the Duke will also pay a fee of 15.00% of the case value.

From the current point of view, at least hundreds of thousands.

If the family members of the victims speak up, there may be millions!
This is why everyone wants to be a lawyer!
After the money arrived, the lawyer team quickly started to operate. First, they found the victim's family and discussed matters related to obtaining forgiveness.

In fact, everyone in the law firm knew that someone was setting the duke up, but they didn't have any big mood swings about it.

Whether it is from a rational or emotional point of view, both parties have only a relationship of mutual assistance, not a relationship of mutual harm.

A total of four underage girls were involved in this case. Except for the one taken away by the grandson of the Duke, the others only drank alcohol and were not taken away.

For the three girls who drank alcohol, the lawyer and their family members talked about a compensation of 20 yuan each.

And the hurt girl didn't talk about it in a short time.

The person behind her, the lion, opened his mouth and asked for 1000 million directly!

This also further deepened the lawyer's guess, there must be someone behind this!
What can be worth 1000 million?

Not even diamonds!
