United states tax collector

Nicola did not refuse. She immediately handed the documents to the bailiff, and the bailiff took them to the dock and handed them into Cathy's hands.

After some inspections, Cathy's face gradually became ugly, but she finally argued: "Your Honor, my client's family has a huge family estate, and it is normal for tax declarations to be neglected in some aspects. "

"Subjectively speaking, my client has never thought about tax evasion. If the Western Suburbs Branch had issued a warning as soon as possible, the situation might have been different..."

The Western Suburbs Bureau did not remind the Camorra family to pay taxes, but did it directly, so her excuse was considered valid.

"Your Honor, I don't think the defendant was negligent in his tax affairs. If that was the case, why was he in such a hurry to flee our country? What's more, how can we explain that he took the 63 million in cash with him during the escape? So, from a subjective point of view, Consciously speaking, the defendant’s behavior definitely constitutes subjective tax evasion!”

David also immediately stood up to refute.

And Cathy was immediately speechless, because no matter how eloquent she was, the 63 million on the plane had been withheld by the Western Suburbs Bureau, and the source had been found out. She couldn't explain this at all.

"Defendant, is there anything else you need to add?"

Nicola's reminder on the stage brought Cathy back to her senses. After tossing and turning, she said: "Your Honor, even if my client is involved in tax evasion, after being detained, he has already I tried my best to cooperate with the work of the Western Suburbs Bureau, which should be regarded as a meritorious performance!"

As a lawyer, when you cannot clear your client of a certain crime, you can only try to get a lighter punishment.

"Your Honor, if the defendant came directly to confess to us, that would be considered a meritorious service, but if he tried to escape and was intercepted by us and then showed his cooperation, this would not be considered a meritorious service at all. Moreover, after being intercepted and intercepted, he did not cooperate with us. He did not disclose to us his family’s financial details and Swiss bank accounts. What kind of meritorious service is this?”

David fell behind in speaking, and now Cathy didn't know how to argue. Until Nicola on the stage reminded her again, she still couldn't say a word.

In fact, after the negotiation with David at the western suburbs branch broke down, she could already predict that this would be the situation during the trial. Now that she came to the court, she was just acting as a doctor for a dead horse.

"Your Honor, the details of the case are just the tip of the iceberg. I want to summon my witnesses to complete the chain of evidence."

Today's trial is open to the public, so David naturally wants to put all the evidence on the table so that viewers around the world can see that the IRS is definitely not acting arbitrarily this time!

"allow."

After getting Nicola's consent, the inspectors from the western suburbs branch came out of the passage with a group of witnesses.

Seeing the arrival of this group of people, many members of the Camorra family instantly became ferocious-looking, and some even started to curse loudly during the live broadcast.

David said he was a witness, but they didn't know that these people were here to testify against them.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Keep quiet!"

Nicola banged the gavel heavily, then looked at the people who came to the witness stand and asked: "Witnesses, please introduce your name and your relationship with the defendant!"

"Your Honor, my name is Craigie, and I am from Willsburg Street... Oh no, strictly speaking, I am the manager of Wilstone Street for the Camorra family..."

"Don't slander, you're a manager, we don't know you at all!"

Before Craigie could finish speaking, Bowison on the dock side interrupted loudly.

Craigie, who was interrupted, looked tense. After all, the Camorra family has ruled Los Angeles for so many years, and it still has a deterrent effect on small characters like them.

"boom!"

Nicola knocked the gavel and scolded: "Defendant, you have to apply to speak in court. You are not allowed to yell loudly before getting permission. Witness, please continue to speak your testimony!"

With Nicola's endorsement, Craigie relaxed a little, organized his words and said: "Of course, although I belong to the Camorra family, the Camorra family has become an upper-class family over the years, so naturally I cannot be with him. We have these hooks, so he adopted a set of patterns, and this set of patterns is like this..."

"I see, this family has such a clever remote control mode, so even if any of its leaders has problems, they can't be traced to them!"

"No wonder this family has become an upper-class family in Los Angeles. If something goes wrong, their subordinates will take the blame, but when they make money, they get the lion's share."

"I always thought that families like The Godfather only existed in movies, but I never thought that such a family actually existed in reality!"

Under Craigie's narration, the Camorra family's dirty business model was directly exposed to the public, which also aroused discussions among the viewers who were watching the live broadcast.

"Good witness, thank you for your testimony, next one."

"Your Honor, my name is Mom, and I also belong to the Camorra family. In their family's business model, I am responsible for the white flour distribution business..."

"..."

In the following time, dozens of witnesses took turns to appear, and through layers of accusations, all the blame was finally focused on the Camorra family.

At this time, the members of the Camorra family were all ashen-faced and their eyes were split.

This business model was created by their family with great effort. It is not perfect, but it is as stable as an old dog. No matter which link goes wrong, they have a fault tolerance rate. , you can get rid of your guilt.

But what they didn't expect was that the Western Suburbs Branch would be so ruthless that they would directly arrest the people in charge of all aspects of the model, and then accuse them one after another. In the end, all the accusations would be directed at their family. Even if they have ten mouths, they won't be able to excuse themselves.

"Defendant, do you have anything else to refute about the testimony of these witnesses and the evidence?"

After the words fell, no one in the Camorra family responded, and Cathy, the entrusted lawyer, also lowered his head with a look of helplessness on his face.

Seeing this, Nicola didn't waste any time and said directly: "In that case, let's announce the result now, the defendant..."

"Wait a minute, your honor!"

Riker interrupted, and then he glanced at the dock; the high-ranking officials and celebrities who had been brothers with him in the past realized that they had no intention of speaking for him, so he turned his head and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Honor, since The Western Suburbs Branch has discovered that we still have properties in Swiss banks, so if I transfer all the money back to the tax treasury, can I get criminal immunity?"

As the talker of the Camorra family, Riker naturally understands how to keep the green hills without worrying about running out of firewood. In this situation, if wealth can be exchanged for immunity from punishment, it can be regarded as the best outcome. .

With 1.5 billion U.S. dollars involved, Nicola did not dare to make any claims, so she could only turn her questioning eyes to David.

David didn't even think about it, and directly vetoed: "Everyone criticizes our IRS court for being arbitrary, but what I want to refute is that we are fair and open, and the court is also a sacred place, not with you. These are places where criminals trade, so Mr. Riker, you’d better give up!”

Not to mention that this time the Camorra family was used to scare off the criminals who attacked the black tax bill. David would not have agreed to such a scandalous deal just because it was being broadcast live in front of the whole country.

Nicola also reacted immediately and said loudly: "Director David is right, the court is a sacred place, not a place to make deals with criminals like you. Now pronounce the verdict!"

"Riquel Camorra was convicted of organized crime, drug trafficking, murder, tax evasion... and was sentenced to 1,200 years in prison with no chance of parole for life. In addition, all personal assets were confiscated!"

"Baweson Camorra was found guilty of organized crime, drug trafficking, murder, tax evasion... and was sentenced to 1,200 years in prison with no chance of parole for life. In addition, all personal assets were confiscated!"

"Victoria Camorra..."

Although many people have been able to predict that the Camorra family, as the meddlers in criticizing the black tax bill, will definitely be used to scare the monkeys and be severely sentenced.

But when the prison sentence of more than 1,200 years was released again, the hearts of those at the scene and watching the live broadcast were extremely shaken.

As for the criminals who had been involved in criticizing the black tax bill before, they were also deeply shocked at this moment, and they were also very shaken about whether they would continue to support the MPs who criticized the black tax bill.

This was true for the spectators, not to mention the members of the Camorra family who were involved at this time. Each of them seemed to have had their souls sucked out, and they were stunned in place.

"take away!"

It wasn't until they heard these two words that the members of the Camorra family woke up from a dream. One of the young members even shouted hoarsely: "I don't accept it. You are lynching indiscriminately. I want to appeal." !”

"Fake, David, you bastard, just wait for me, we members of the Camorra family will not let you go!"

"..."

The furious Camorra family continued to abuse the court and attack David himself.

But the most unexpected thing was that one of them, Bowison, suddenly turned to look at the Pipps congressmen sitting in the gallery, and shouted: "Pipps, Pringhall, Timo Congressman Xi, are you just going to watch us being sentenced so harshly?"

He doesn't care if he drags more people into the water. Anyway, when it comes to this point, everyone will die together!

Bowson's words are groundbreaking.

It is true that everyone present knows that the three congressmen Pipes have been inextricably linked to the Camorra family because of the black tax bill, but if they know it, if they say it in public, wouldn't it be equivalent to confessing? His own accomplice?

And you must know that today is not a closed trial, but an open trial in front of the whole world. With so many viewers and dignitaries watching, how did the three of them get to Taiwan?

"Watt, this tax evader named Poweson is implying that MPs like Pipes have something to do with them?"

"The reason why Peoples attacked the black tax bill was mainly to gain the support of criminals, and isn't the Camorra family the underground leader of Los Angeles? They must have connections."

"The congressman is involved, now there's something exciting to watch!"

The audience originally thought that the trial was over, but they didn't expect that there would be a 'dessert' after the meal, which made them open their eyes wide and prepare to eat the next melon.

This is the court hearing.

Even though Pipps and the other three were old foxes who had been in the political arena for many years, they were caught off guard by Bowison's sudden words. They all turned red in the face and kept cursing Bowison in their hearts.

But after scolding, remedies must be remedied. After calming down, Pips stood up and shouted: "First of all, I want to make a statement to the audience here and in front of the TV. How could a dignified member of the National Assembly of Pus have any connection with this group of lawless elements!"

"This group of guys are just slandering and trying to use my status as a congressman to put pressure on the court and fish in troubled waters. Please don't pay too much attention to him, lest their tricks succeed!"

I have to say that Peeples' acting skills are quite sophisticated.

Although he was stared at by so many people with strange eyes, he was able to quickly stabilize his mentality and put things right.

"Congressman Peoples is right. We are attacking the black tax bill purely because this bill has many flaws. We do not mean to stand on the side of these criminals, let alone have anything to do with them. Now they are just They just want to use our status as members to cause trouble!"

"Hmph, they are all on the verge of death and they are still spitting blood. Your Honor, please drag them down quickly to avoid talking nonsense here!"

Following Pipps, two congressmen, Prinhal Fubien and Timothy Valk, also immediately stood up and scolded them in righteous voices.

Here, looking at the superb acting skills of these three people, David had to sigh. If these guys did not go into politics but went into the entertainment industry, they would probably have won the Oscar.

"Take it away, this trial is over!"

As Nicola's words fell on the stage, the interlude came to an end. Perhaps because of their guilty conscience, the three Pips did not dare to stay for a moment and left quickly.

But overall, today's court trial was a feast for the eyes and allowed them to understand the IRS trial process.

What makes them feel slightly better is that it has been rumored that the IRS's court trials are very undemocratic and have no human rights. But looking at it today, it seems that this is not the case.

At least members of the Camorra family and lawyers have the right to defend themselves, but in the face of sufficient witnesses and material evidence from the Western Suburbs Branch, their defense seems so feeble.
