United states tax collector
Chapter 329 Arrest and Prosecution
In the following time, Murdoch, in cooperation with the media arranged by himself, continued to connotate David's involvement in this incident.
Although many people do not believe that the scandal that broke out at News Corporation was controlled by David behind the scenes, driven by the group's powerful media channels, it did cause some minor repercussions.
After the press conference ended, the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service immediately announced that it would hold a press conference, and Director David personally stood up to speak. This instantly attracted the attention of the entire Internet.
Although the Los Angeles IRS did not clearly state the purpose of this press conference, everyone could see that it was definitely a response to Murdoch's previous speech.
Everyone braced themselves to see what kind of response David would have in the future.
Los Angeles IRS.
Less than half an hour after the news of the press conference came out, all major media came here, set up cameras and waited.
"Director David is here!"
About ten minutes later, someone at the scene shouted. The reporters who were whispering immediately stopped talking and looked up.
Sure enough, surrounded by Buckinson and others, David appeared in formal attire.
When he came to the spotlight, he pressed his hands and said without any hesitation: "Hello fellow reporters and viewers nationwide, I am David, the director of the Los Angeles Internal Revenue Service. I believe that the purpose of holding this press conference has been I guessed a bit, yes, in view of some remarks made by Mr. Murdoch of News Corporation not long ago, we think we must come out and respond!”
Hearing that it was just as they thought, the reporters at the scene and the people watching through the live broadcast pricked their ears seriously.
"First of all, I must clarify that the recent scandals at News Corporation have nothing to do with our IRS, and we do not have the ability to instruct the FBI to act as our 'thugs.' After all, although the two departments They are both law enforcement agencies in the United States, but they are two completely independent agencies that perform their own responsibilities. "
"Secondly, I think Mr. Murdoch has mistaken the priority of this matter. Regardless of this matter, judging from the documents and tapes released by the FBI so far, there is a high probability that the wiretapping incident exists. This involves serious illegal issues. I think News Corporation should explain this matter and give an explanation to the public, instead of trying to divert everyone's attention with other things!"
Didn't Murdoch want to divert public attention from News Corp.'s eavesdropping scandal by dragging him down?
And now David's words can be regarded as turning his army against him.
"Yes, what is this old guy like Murdoch doing with so many conspiracy theories? Even if the FBI or someone wants to target him, the documents released by the FBI can't be forged, right?"
"Director David is right. The most serious problem in this matter is that News Corporation has major crimes such as eavesdropping and insider trading. Even if others want to mess with him, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people!"
"This guy Murdoch is so cunning. He wants to pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy and distract us. Let's explain the eavesdropping and corruption incidents clearly first!"
Being awakened by David, many people who had been distracted before reacted, and the pressure returned to News Corporation in an instant.
Poor Murdoch from News Corporation, as soon as he got a chance to take a breath, he was immediately immersed in a larger amount of saliva than before, which made him even more angry.
…
In the next few days, Gavin, who was instructed by David, significantly increased his firepower and published a number of important documents on News Corporation's illegal activities.
This has also caused News Corporation's stock market to plummet. Since the scandal broke out, it has fallen by more than 60%.
But it is worth mentioning that the reason why News Corporation has suffered such an exaggerated decline is that the scandal was certainly the most important factor. Another factor is that the management of the group has been frantically selling some overseas assets in the past few days. Assets, and the continuous dismissal of media channels, and the withdrawal of the business of various subsidiaries...
Such a gesture of packing up and leaving has naturally seriously lowered the confidence of the capital market, which has also caused the group's market value to plummet.
Los Angeles IRS.
"Director David, we need to hurry up and speed up the progress. Otherwise, even if we gain control of this group, it may just be an unfinished building in the end."
"Yes, the Freemasons now clearly know that we want to seize News Corporation, and they are doing things with the attitude of destroying it if we don't get it. We can't go on like this!"
"I have received some internal information from them, saying that in the past few days, their group is destroying a large amount of core information and disbanding media channels on a large scale. If this continues, we will lose more than we gain!"
Ted, Sally, and John were in the director's office, but at this moment, each of them looked a little anxious.
The reason why they agreed to David's involvement in this struggle was simply because they valued the big fat piece of News Corporation.
But now, those Utah people obviously saw that there was no way to save the situation, so they acted with the attitude that I can't save it and I can't leave it to you.
According to the current situation, if it is delayed for a few days, when Murdoch and his gang really turn this group into an unfinished building, then they will not only make no profit, but may have to inject capital into it and deal with a series of bad things after taking over, which is not worth the loss.
David, who was sitting here, also had a gloomy face and was a little depressed.
He did not expect that the group of Jews were so cruel, and they would ruin such a large group without any regret.
However, what made him most depressed was not this point, but the fact that the FBI was different from the IRS. The IRS had the privilege of acting first and reporting later, which many departments did not have.
In other words, if it was their IRS that took action against News Corporation this time, they could directly freeze the group's funds, operations and other businesses, and it would not be the turn of the Jews to take advantage of the opportunity to do something else.
The bad thing is that the FBI does not have this privilege. Before the charges are confirmed, they must abide by the provisions of the law and cannot interfere with the operations of other groups beyond their authority.
In fact, it is not that the FBI does not have enough evidence to convict News Corporation. On the contrary, the documents David gave Gavin are absolutely sufficient to convict.
But even if it is sufficient to convict, some judicial procedures are still required. It cannot be as overbearing as the IRS, which has the power to bypass the judicial procedures.
And there is another point. If the conviction is announced too early, News Corporation will have to be suspended from the stock market, and Ted, Sally and John will not be able to gain control of the group.
So, David is also very depressed and helpless for the current situation.
At this time, a phone call broke the slightly frozen atmosphere at the scene. David picked up the phone and saw that it was Gavin's call. His expression moved and he immediately pressed the answer button: "Go ahead."
"Director David, we have finally completed the process here!"
Gavin's tone was somewhat fortunate.
Of course, he knew that News Corporation had been frantically "self-destructing" these days, but he had no choice. The FBI was like this. Everything had to comply with the laws and regulations of the Ministry of Justice, especially for such a large group company. Even if the evidence was sufficient, it would take some time to complete the process.
Thinking of this, he envied the various privileges of the IRS. If it was the IRS, why would it be so troublesome and laborious!
"Is that so? Can we announce it?"
David was relieved to hear this. If it continued like this, News Corporation would only be left with a shelf, and he didn't want to see this situation.
"As long as you agree, we can announce it at any time."
"Then announce it, don't delay it."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, David looked at the three people sitting opposite him and said, "I just received a notice that Gavin's process has been completed. You can go back and prepare early."
Hearing this, the three people who were originally frowning suddenly became overjoyed.
Although the value of News Corporation has been greatly reduced under the "self-destruction" of the Jewish group these days
But as long as the FBI announces the end of the investigation and the process of prosecution, the Jewish group will not be able to continue to toss.
And if they take over, as long as they try their best to repair it, although they cannot guarantee that the group will return to its peak state, it should be no problem to restore it to half of its peak.
Even if it is half, plus the large market share previously occupied by News Corporation, it is enough for the three of them to make a lot of profit.
Here, after Gavin released the press conference on the results of the News Corporation investigation, the entire network was boiling instantly, and various media immediately came to the FBI office in New York to set up cameras.
Under the attention of the public, Gavin walked out surrounded by the investigation team agents.
At this moment, his hair stood up and shone, he was wearing a slim black suit, and his face showed a smug attitude.
Since the announcement of the investigation of News Corporation, he has become famous all over the United States overnight, and because the influence of the 911 wiretapping scandal is too great, he is even hailed as a fighter who dares to fight against power.
After he announces the result of this incident and brings the News Corporation to court to convict them, with such great prestige and achievements in hand, promotion is inevitable.
In addition, he has now clung to David's thigh. As the other party said, it is not impossible for him to become the highest position in the FBI in the future!
"Agent Gavin, is the investigation into News Corporation over?"
"Agent Gavin, have the charges against News Corporation been proven?"
"Agent Gavin..."
Under the questioning of a group of reporters, Gavin finally came back to his senses from his YY state. He walked under the spotlight, pressed his hands down, and said, "Yes, the investigation into News Corporation by our investigation team has ended."
"In addition to the documents and recordings released during this period of time, we have evidence of multiple charges of News Corporation such as wiretapping, insider trading, bribery, and manipulation of public opinion. Now I officially announce that the FBI will arrest and prosecute Tony Aldridge, Theodore Xavier... and others!"
When Gavin took these away before, he just cooperated with the investigation, but now he directly used the word arrest. The meanings of the two are different.
"Haha, it's finally officially arrested!"
"I hope these bastards will be sentenced to 100 years, oh no, it would be better to give them a thousand years in prison like the IRS!"
"You're overthinking it. The FBI doesn't have the same privileges as the IRS. They mostly have to abide by laws and regulations, so it's impossible for them to be sentenced so heavily."
"Wait... these senior executives of News Corporation have been announced to be arrested, but Murdoch, as the top leader of the group, must also be responsible, right?"
After this announcement was made, the people of the whole country applauded.
But soon, some people also raised doubts, because the name of Murdoch, the boss of the group, was not among the arrests announced by the FBI.
In fact, the reason why Murdoch was able to stay out of trouble was of course not Gavin's intention, but David's.
First of all, Murdoch is a member of the Freemason Group, and his weight in the group is very heavy. If David really wants to get him in, the Freemasonry will definitely jump out to rescue him at all costs for the sake of face.
The final result is likely to be like Jeff of the Dumb Amazon last time, the White House will jump out to intervene and let him not do too much.
Secondly, this time he borrowed the hand of the FBI.
Although many senior officials in the FBI were forced to do this under pressure from him and the Ansa Group, they finally acquiesced to Gavin's decision.
But if Murdoch was involved, it would be equivalent to a direct break between the FBI and the Freemason Group, which their senior officials would definitely not do.
Finally, David did not have much personal grudge against Murdoch. After dealing with News Corporation, he was no longer constrained and could smoothly go to the General Administration to serve as his National Tax Inspector General.
In other words, the most important thing for him now is to prepare for his job in Washington, and there is no need to spend energy on this matter.
In the following time, the media asked Gavin about the details of the investigation.
Some reporters who wanted to gain traffic even asked directly whether this matter was not like what Murdoch said a few days ago, and had some relationship with David, or had received David's help?
In response, Gavin naturally denied it.
Afterwards, Gavin announced the date of the prosecution, which would be set in three days.
There was no other way to wait until three days later. As mentioned before, the FBI did not have the privileges of the IRS, so the necessary procedures had to be followed.
And three days later was the fastest deadline Gavin could get.
But fortunately, he was relieved that with the evidence David had given him, as long as the senior executives of News Corporation were brought to court, they would definitely not be able to clear their names, so he did not mind waiting for a few days.
