Chapter 120 Congressman Strong, are you panic?
The man known as Director Arabella looked at David, stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "Director David, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but seeing that you are busy with official duties , I haven’t dared to bother you, but today we finally met officially!”
This was actually the first time David met the city director, and then he replied: “Hello, Director Arabella!”
"Tax Commissioner David, you have done a good job in handling cases during this period, especially the Dieter case, which has simply made our IRS more prestigious..."
Next During the time, Arabella kept praising David's ability in handling cases, and David seemed to agree repeatedly, but in fact he was secretly sizing up some senior officials and powerful figures present.
According to his observation, whether it is the city hall or the city council, many senior officials have problems such as corruption and illegal profits.
But soon, when his eyes glanced at a man, a trace of surprise suddenly appeared.
[Name: Strong Francis. 】
[Occupation: Member of Congress of the United States. 】
【Monthly income: legal income 19,650 US dollars, illegal income 650,000 US dollars. 】
[Income details: On December 5, he accepted a bribe from a construction company in Las Vegas and made a profit of US$200,000. On December 11, he helped a group company obtain a renovation plan for the Las Vegas Strip and made a profit. 200,000 U.S. dollars. On December 19, a bribe of 200,000 U.S. dollars was obtained from the Indians...]
[More details:...]
[Amount of tax payable: 257,400 U.S. dollars. 】
David did not expect that this person named Congressman Strong would actually have such a close relationship with the Indian tribe.
Could it be that...
Was Deputy Mayor Gray ordered by this guy to come to him for peace talks?
It should be!
It is said that the Indians do not have a good relationship with the city hall, but they have a good relationship with the people in the city hall and even the state assembly.
Because Indians hold a large number of votes, whether it is the city hall or the state assembly, we need to please them!
But having said that, Strong is really smart.
After he dispatched Gray, he immediately withdrew and disappeared as soon as he saw that nothing could be done. He never got involved in Dieter's case again, so he was able to protect himself wisely until now.
If David didn’t have a bug like Goldfinger, I really wouldn’t know his relationship with the Indian tribe.
"Why, Chief David, do you want to meet Congressman Strong? Let me introduce you to him!"
Looking at David staring at Strong. , Arabella thought David wanted to get to know the congressman, so she quickly greeted: "Congressman Strong!"
Strong, who was pretending to be chatting happily, heard the shout. His brows furrowed slightly.
To be honest, he didn't want to come to this trial today.
But there is no way. The IRS arrested Dieter yesterday and the trial started today. It was too late for him to find an excuse to go out on business.
And everyone knows that he is still in Las Vegas, and the IRS has invited him again. If he doesn't come, it will be a loss of face.
And it will also make people think that he has friendship with the Indians and deliberately refuses to show face.
So he had to come.
Just now, he had seen David coming in. After knowing how powerful David was from Gray, he didn't want to deal with this kid from the bottom of his heart.
What he didn’t expect was that Arabella actually came to him.
Although he was very reluctant, he did not dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb in public, so he turned around and forced out a smile, pretended to have just discovered Arabella, walked up to him, and said: "Arabella Director La, I didn’t realize you were here just now, I’m sorry, I’m sorry...”
Arabella waved her hand and replied: “It’s a small matter, by the way, let me introduce to you, the outstanding person from our city’s Lake District Bureau. Chief Tax Officer David is also the commander-in-chief of this case!"
Strong turned to look at David, smiled and stretched out his right hand and said: "Chief Tax Officer David, I was on TV yesterday! I’ve met you, you’re much more photogenic in person than on TV!”
David shook hands with him, looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Congressman Strong, what do you think of this case?"
"It's very bad, this Dieter is evading taxes. That's all. He actually dared to use assassination. It's a heinous crime. The Indian tribe also dared to protect him. This must be severely punished. I have already sent a message to the city hall and will wait for your IRS matter to be handled. After that, they will be investigated and dealt with seriously!”
Strong seemed to be speaking righteously. People who didn’t know his details would be deceived by his business-like appearance. .
David's smile grew thicker and he looked at him and said: "Really? Councilor Strong, but how did I hear... that the city hall has something to do with the Indian tribes? Of course, I I just heard about it!”
Hearing this and seeing David’s playful look, Strong’s heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that David found out about his interactions with the Indian tribe?
According to Gray, David was fully aware of the evidence of his bribery and tax evasion at that time.
If this kid also found out something about himself, it seems possible...
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, but on the surface, Strong still pretended to be calm. He replied: "Our city council has nothing to do with the Indian tribes. Chief Tax Officer David, please don't listen to some bad media's rumors!"
He didn't know who David listened to or what he heard. What I found through my own investigation was that I could only blame the media.
"Is that so? Well, maybe I heard it wrong..."
After all, the other party is a member of the country, one of the most powerful people in the entire United States. And the other party didn't offend him, so at this stage David wasn't ready to offend the other party or break up with him.
"Tax Commissioner David, Judge Chiesa asked you to go to his office!"
While the two were talking to each other, the Municipal Bureau's A staff member came over to remind.
After David said hello to Arabella, William and others, he followed the staff member to the door of an office on the fifth floor.
Knocked on the door, and after receiving the word "Please come in," he walked in.
I saw an old man about 60 years old sitting inside. He was Chiesa Quentin, the exclusive judge of the Internal Revenue Service.
"Tax Chief David, I have read the information on the judges you handed over. Is there anything else I need to add or explain?"
Because David is arresting those prisoners. Sometimes, it may involve agreements such as meritorious service and verbal transactions.
So Chiesa must ask clearly first, or it will not be fun if he makes an own mistake in court.
David explained: "Twin, Dieter, and Virginia, these three people can be sentenced as usual. As for the killer Iman, I originally reached a testimonial agreement with him, and at most he will be sent to jail. In 7 years, the rest of the testimonies will all enjoy meritorious services. Let them continue to generate tax revenue for our IRS in the future!"
Chiesa nodded and asked again: "That's it, no more! ?”
“No Judge Chiesa!”
“Okay, let’s get ready for the trial!”
David didn't say much nonsense and immediately turned around and walked out.
……
The 8th floor of the Municipal Bureau, this is where the IRS Court is located.
At this time, the city hall, city council, and other people invited to observe were already in place.
An IRS trial will involve some privacy.
For example, David has promised to testify against people like Baldwin and Sapir that they will be acquitted if they come forward to testify.
But acquittal only refers to acquittal in the IRS.
But in the judicial system, they are suspected of drug trafficking, violence and other cases, so they are guilty in the judicial system.
So in order to maintain their privacy, the IRS generally does not invite the media to come in for public live broadcasts.
Therefore, except for the invited people, the IRS personnel and the lawyers, there was no one else at the scene at this time.
The time came to 9.58am.
Because David was asked to talk to Chiesa just now, he only came to the scene now.
After coming in, he sat directly in the first row of the auditorium, because when the case came to trial later, many details needed to be stated and supplemented by him, the person in charge of the case.
10 o'clock sharp.
“Everyone stand up!”
At this time, Chiesa, wearing a black judge's robe, walked in from the aisle on the right side of the judge's bench, and the court staff immediately shouted.
Immediately afterwards, everyone at the scene stood up to show respect for the law.
After Chiesa came to sit in front of the high-backed chair on the seat, everyone at the scene sat down together.
"The trial of Dieter's tax evasion case is now officially open!"
After saying that, in the passage on the left, the inspectors pressed Dieter, Twin, Virginia, and Gaiyi The four of them came out.
Iman was okay, he had been mentally prepared for it, and he was still calm at the moment.
But the three people in Twendit and Virginia had a sleepless night last night, and now they were brought to the court, and they saw many acquaintances in the auditorium, which made their emotions instantly become manic. got up.
But fortunately, the inspectors standing around were quite powerful and they were forcibly suppressed and sent to the trial bench.
At this time, the person who is struggling the most in his heart must be a lawyer named Tai Lun below the trial seat.
He was approached by the Indian tribe last night and asked to appear in court today to help Dieter, Twin, and Virginia defend themselves.
As a lawyer, of course he would not fail to make money if he had money, not to mention that Indians have always been generous.
But after learning about Dieter's case, he was instantly dumbfounded.
How the hell can any lawyer win the IRS case?
What’s more, the nature of Dieter’s case is so bad!
Even if we invite the dream team of lawyers who originally reversed Simpson's case, it will only be a formality at best!
