Chapter 2374

The mayors of most cities in the Federation change frequently, and the mayor's "enemies" are not only the greedy people at the bottom who can never have enough to fill their stomachs.

And the city councilors who are always waiting to replace the mayor.

In some cities, the conflict between mayors and councilors is completely open. Councilors will criticize some policies and decisions of mayors in order to undermine the prestige of the mayor and increase their voice among the people.

Some mayors can work for more than ten years, and they are already very long-term mayors in the Federation. Ms. Tracy's father can work in this city for more than 20 years, not only because of his ability!
More than 20 years is enough to make many citizens hate their mayor.

As long as some of his promises cannot be fulfilled, the citizens will not elect him again!

Of course, his ability to remain mayor has a lot to do with his brother. There are many believers in the city. With the influence of the regional patriarch, it is not difficult to occupy the position of mayor for a long time.

But even so, the city still needs development, and also needs... the settlement of large enterprises.

For capitalists, whether a region has development potential has nothing to do with the region itself.

This sentence sounds a bit upside-down, a bit self-denying, but it is also the truest side.

Whether entrepreneurs are willing to invest a lot of money in a region depends on whether the rulers of the region are on their side.

To put it simply, a city with a bad environment or resources, or something else that is not very friendly, is not a city that is very suitable for enterprises to enter.

As long as the mayor of the city and the capitalists are very good friends, the city has potential for development for entrepreneurs.

Tax relief, policy preference, even no money and land use fees far below the federal level.

These can allow capitalists to see a lot of profits!

And those cities that seem to be very good, if the rulers and capitalists are not standing together, then these cities will be less attractive to capitalists.

Without tax breaks or preferential policies, they would still face competition, and their profits would not be much.

Ms. Tracy's father has received a lot of benefits through his status as mayor over the years, adding up to more than 300 million in cash, as well as some real estate and high-value gifts.

Because he received "bribes" from these capitalists, the two sides maintained a good relationship, so these capitalists opened companies and factories in this city.

This is not an excuse, but the unique political characteristics of the Federation, the fornication of capital and power.

These actions are obviously illegal. Once the FBI investigates him in order to attack Ms. Tracy, he will only be more passive at that time.

Now he takes the initiative to surrender... Although he is still passive, the situation has become much more controllable!

The mayor himself called and surrendered himself, which is indeed not a small matter.

Although the director of the Local Bureau of Investigation had received a notification of assistance from the General Bureau of Investigation, after thinking about it, he personally led someone and invited Ms. Tracy's father back to the FBI.

While he's heading to the FBI, soon the entire city's big business knows about it.

The capitalists were a little uneasy. For more than 20 years, Ms. Tracy's father had already managed the city as a fortress.

Everyone in every link is silently making profits and benefiting.

Now the core people are suddenly taken away by the FBI. They don't know what happened, and they don't know if it will affect them.

The phone lines in the entire city were almost too busy to get through in the three to 10 minutes after Ms. Tracy's father was taken away!
An hour later, a luxurious team of lawyers arrived at the FBI, which was hired by capitalists to try to help Ms. Tracy's father out of trouble.

At the same time, it also means to inquire about secrets.

The FBI knew it would be troublesome to bring the mayor back, but what they didn't expect was that it would be this much trouble.

High-profile people in the city are calling the Bureau of Investigation, asking why they want to arrest the mayor.

Not only them, but even the governor and members of the district council have called the FBI one after another, asking them gently or severely to explain why they did this immediately...

In the FBI's detention room, two lawyers from the legal team met Ms. Tracy's father.

"...Don't say anything. After we figure out what happened, we will plan countermeasures, but before that, you can't say a word."

The lawyer was very diligent in keeping Ms. Tracy's father a secret. These barristers actually participated in some "scandals". Playing with the judiciary is their specialty, and it is also a method that big shots need more.

Ms. Tracy's father shook his head, "No need to inquire, I surrendered myself, and you don't need to worry, I won't say anything related to you."

"Help me take these words home and tell them that although I'm locked up, nothing will be any different..."

In fact, he will retire next year, and he has even found a successor. Although he came in, things outside will not stop just because he came in.

His successor just happened to take over his work aboveboard and continue to serve everyone in this city.

The lawyer froze for a moment, and asked after a brief silence, "Do you need us to defend you?"

Ms. Tracy's father shook his head, "I want to come in myself, if you defend me and get me out, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

The lawyer grinned and tried to laugh, but couldn't.

"Okay, I'll pass it on."

The lawyer didn't say anything, and he believed that the mayor knew it, so he stopped talking.

In many cases, it is the dead, not the living, who can really reassure people.

The congressional investigation team also received a call that night and learned that Ms. Tracey's father had surrendered. They were a little shocked and angry.

This is obviously an act to deal with them.

If they find out that Ms. Tracy's father has committed any illegal acts, then the investigation team, as the leading group, can ask the FBI to cooperate with them in arresting Ms. Tracy's father and then send it back to Bu Paine.

But now that Ms. Tracy's father has voluntarily surrendered, the main body responsible for the case has changed from them to the local FBI.

According to the process of the federal judicial system, if they want to intervene, they either apply for a joint investigation, or transfer the case from the local area to the FBI, and then intervene.

In any case, it will take time. The time required to go through the process may be very short, but it may also be very long.

The originally passive and uncontrolled situation suddenly became active.

This is his "base camp". Investigating his problems here will only be difficult!

There are too many celebrities and dignitaries in this city who don't want him to have an accident. The pressure exerted by these people will make the progress of the investigation of the case extremely slow!
This may be the old politician's method, simple, direct and effective!
After the Congress found out about this, they scolded the members of the investigation team as trash, and at the same time asked people to prepare documents to go to the FBI to discuss the case, trying to find a way to get them to Bu Paine for trial.

Ms. Tracy also knew the news immediately, and she was not surprised by the news.

After she finished talking with her father, she already understood the ending of their family!

But this ending is within her tolerance!

Even she herself may go to jail, but all of this is within her tolerance!
The "jail disaster" because of political strife will not affect her influence, but will only make more people know her and even follow her.

She began to prepare some materials, and since she chose to attack from the front, she would not back down.

And that's exactly what she does best!
The next morning, some tabloids were the first to report the arrest of Ms. Tracy's father and uncle.

These tabloids took money, so the position must be more on Ms. Tracy's side.

In the descriptions in these newspapers, the two old men were apparently arrested not because they had actually done anything wrong, but because they suffered the fallout from political strife!
The Congress was very dissatisfied with Ms. Tracy's exposure of the "darkness" of the highest governing body in the federal political arena, so they began to deal with Ms. Tracy.

Now it's her father and uncle, and soon it will be her turn.

The newspapers stated that "Ms Trish would most likely face charges of a number of crimes if the situation got out of control, but whether these charges are supported by evidence, whether they are appropriate, reasonable and legal, cannot be known."

In the content of the report, the "black story" was almost written on the surface, and even a few news items from the Conservative Party were temporarily suppressed!
Ms. Tracy appeared in the Bupain City Stadium at three o'clock in the afternoon. Today she gave a public speech. She cried and her eyes were swollen from crying. This made the supporters at the scene feel a little... empathetic and sad!

Staff and supporters comforted her, and she thanked her as she walked to the podium.

While crying, while wiping tears.

"Thank you everyone for your concern, I know it's shocking that something like this happened."

"With two of my closest relatives arrested overnight, it's hard not to wonder if they're connected."

"If someone really used their power to create these things, then I am extremely disappointed in our government!"

"Some people steal high positions and abuse their power. This should not happen in the great Federation!"

"At the same time, I am also willing to believe in the law and believe that the law will give them a fair result."

"If they are really guilty, we will accept all trials frankly."

"If they are not guilty, we need to reflect."

"Reflect on the power that people have given to those people, and where it has been used!"
