Chapter 219: Direct confession?
“Take away!”
Seeing David’s words so decisively and confidently, Nissenbach, Simons and others felt a little more confident, and they were ready to arrest him.
“What are you doing!”
“Stop it!”
"..."
The people from the human rights organization naturally refused to do it. Seeing that the two sides were about to fight and push each other again, the man who had thrown the money before stood up. He first signaled to his companions to calm down, and then Then he said to David and others: "Okay, I'll go with you. I am a law-abiding person and have never committed tax evasion or other illegal activities. I want to see if the IRS can sue me!"
< br>"Count me in."
"Don't worry, brothers, they, the IRS, will arrest us; they will release us soon!"
Pointed out by David before The two people who were about to be taken away also rushed to stand up.
Because they have thought about it, not only is being taken to court not a bad thing, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them!
The IRS is used to being overbearing and punishing criminals for thousands of years. This simply does not take human rights seriously.
If they go to the IRS court, first of all, they can criticize the IRS's arrogant practices in front of celebrities from all walks of life.
Secondly, if the IRS cannot sue them, then they can be said to be the first person in history to win against the IRS.
This will not only make them popular across the country overnight and become 'human rights fighters' respected by everyone, but will also make them famous in the history of the United States.
You know, in the nearly 160 years since the establishment of the IRS, no one or organization has been able to win a case in IRS court.
As for why?
The reason is also very simple.
First, the IRS courts are almost all the IRS’s own people. It can be said that they are almost the same person. Second, no one in any branch is a fool. They have some control over some criminals. Only then can we dare to bring tax evasion criminals to court.
This is why the IRS never loses in court.
However, the three of them just came here to protest today. Where can David get hold of them?
Unless David had investigated him early.
But even if they had been investigated early, each of them was very confident in their tax situation. How could David do anything to them?
At this time, people from other human rights organizations also understood the intentions of these three people. They stopped pushing and blocking them and allowed the three people to be taken away by Simon Nissenbaki.
And here, João, Felton and other members of the IRS system at the gate are still in a state of wandering.
Although they did not go to the scene, the dispute between the two sides was so loud, how could they not hear it if they were not deaf.
At first, they thought David wanted to arrest these three people, and then slowly collect dirty information to deal with them.
But how could they have imagined that David would be so "rampant" that he would be brought to today's court hearing and then let the judge conduct the trial together.
As members of the IRS system, Joao Felton and others certainly know that they have this power.
But if you have power, you have power. You have to have some leverage against the other party. Otherwise, how can you accuse them of tax evasion if you throw them into court?
And if there really is no clue at all, no matter how powerful the IRS is, it cannot confuse right and wrong in front of so many celebrities from all walks of life and forcibly convict people.
And the most important thing is that these people are not ordinary people, they are people from human rights organizations.
If there is really no evidence of tax evasion.
Don't talk about them here in Los Angeles afterwards. If this person really makes a fuss, I'm afraid even the General Administration of Washington will have a drink.
After all, these people are a group of extreme mad dogs. If they seize the opportunity and leverage, it will be strange if they have to bite them a few times.
"David, in such a public place, you just want to arrest them by force, and you said that today's court trial even dealt with them, what the hell are you doing?"
Seeing that David has returned to the big court. At the door, Joao, Felton and other people from the IRS system gathered around, showing various signs of complaint and dissatisfaction.
When you get into trouble with a human rights organization, it’s not just a matter for David and the Western Suburbs Bureau. If you can’t be convicted afterwards, the crazy dogs of the human rights organization don’t care which branch you are in. I’m afraid the entire Los Angeles The IRS system is going to take a few bites.
David replied calmly: "Don't worry, Director João and everyone, everything is under control. I will go and communicate with Judge Nicola first."
After that, , he walked towards the elevator entrance, took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and began to write down the information that the three people needed to obtain.
After arriving at the lobby on the seventh floor, they waited for about ten minutes before the trio of Buckney, Nissen, and Simmons who had taken him to the detention room came to meet him.
He looked at the written message, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he tore it off and handed it to Nissen, and asked: "Get it done for me as soon as possible."
"Understood. "
The people had been following David for so long, so naturally they had a very tacit understanding. After taking it, they turned around and left without asking any questions.
David stopped staying too much and turned around and walked towards Judge Nicola's office.
Hollywood.
After seeing the human rights organizations arriving and clashing with David, and David actually arresting them, people from the eight major film companies were overjoyed. They even wanted to raise their heads and shout, 'God help me! also'!
If David had arrested these three people first and then investigated slowly, he might be able to find out some reasons for conviction.
But now David did not say that he would be taken back for investigation, but that he would take advantage of today's court hearing, which happened to bring these three people to court for trial.
In such a short period of time, those who killed the eight major film companies did not believe that the Western Suburbs Branch could find evidence to convict these three members of the human rights organization.
At this moment, people from all the major film companies feel extremely lucky. They are glad that the 3 million US dollars was well spent. If the trial fails to convict, then how can this human rights organization go crazy?
As for David and the IRS, they will probably shed their skins even if they die!
Whether Hollywood can still conduct a tax audit is a matter of two minds!
At the same time, the Los Angeles human rights organization is located.
After receiving the news, Butler Mack, the president of the human rights organization, slapped his hand on the table and cursed angrily: "This David is so arrogant. He actually dares to arrest our people on the street for trial. It's simply outrageous. The abuse of private power and disregard for the law have reached the extreme level! ”
"President, calm down, this incident is not a bad thing for us. Maybe this is our best chance to crack down on the IRS in so many years!"
A member of a human rights organization explained .
“Neal, what do you say?”
“Chairman, think about it, what will happen to the IRS if we fail to convict three of our members? ?”
Hearing this, Butler calmed down.
If you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter if the IRS can convict their people. If they can't be convicted, then there will be room for them to use it!
"Wait..."
Butler tensed up and seemed to have thought of something, and immediately asked: "Let me ask you Neil, what is the tax situation of our three members? ?”
“I checked, and there is nothing wrong with it. Of course, I am not an auditor of the IRS. Maybe their auditors can get some clues by spending time, but this is what David said. With the help of today’s trial, they were tried together. In such a short period of time, I don’t think they can find any convincing evidence!”
Neil’s words made the senior officials of the human rights organizations present. His face began to light up with joy.
However, one of the members was not dazzled by the joy. He asked questioningly: "If David didn't have any evidence against these three people, why did he dare to arrest them directly and have them go to trial today?"
“The IRS has been given too much power, so they are used to being rampant. I think they just want to find a lame reason to forcibly convict our people, but he is too naive. People from human rights organizations are not just like cats and dogs, trying to find a lame excuse to convict someone.”
I have to say, there is some truth in what Neil said.
Since its creation, the IRS has been endowed with various privileges and has been domineering in the United States for hundreds of years.
Especially after the black tax bill was passed last month, and all illegal income was included in the tax law, this made them even more like they had obtained Shang Fang's sword, as if they were going to chop whoever.
So it is normal to dare to do such a thing now. But what Butler was trying to say was that David and the IRS were messing with the wrong people this time!
These human rights organizations are not just cats and dogs.
If they really plan to find some lame reasons to convict their members, let alone whether they can convince the public, he, Butler, and the entire human rights organization will be the first to refuse!
Even if the trouble comes to the president, he must have a good argument and rebuttal!
"Go, send someone to tell the IRS, don't think you can do whatever you want in your own court. If they dare to fabricate charges or forcibly convict our people, I won't be afraid to bring this matter to the president. In addition, Let Jeff go over and have a good fight with the IRS in court!"
Jeff is the Queen's Attorney for their Los Angeles human rights organization.
“Yes, President.”
……
Washington, IRS headquarters.
In the conference room, Obadiah, Donald, Vertonghen and other IRS officials were already present, but the atmosphere was solemn and everyone looked frowning.
"What the hell is going on with David? How could he arrest people on the street like this, and the ones they arrest are those crazy people from human rights organizations."
"The power of our IRS is inherent It's very big, and after last month's tax reform, this group of people in the human rights organization was very dissatisfied. Now they finally have an opportunity to use this incident as an excuse."
"This is David. It’s true. If you try the leaders of criminal groups, you will try the leaders of criminal groups. Why do those crazy dogs of human rights organizations do it?”
Lahan and others finally couldn’t sit still. They admitted that David had targeted Luo before. Degorski's case was handled beautifully, but the matter has been reduced to the same level, and now it involves the human rights organization, which will cause trouble again.
Seeing so many people responsible for David, Donald couldn't sit still. He spoke out: "You have to understand that it was the group of human rights organizations who caused trouble first. If David or our IRS don't do something, Wouldn’t that make the whole world a joke?”
“It’s true that they started the trouble, but they can take a long-term approach to deal with it, but now they not only arrested people on the street, but also said that they would take advantage of it. This trial is going to put our IRS on fire. If we can’t decide, how will we end it?”
Faced with Lahan’s question, Donald could no longer refute. .
This is indeed the truth. Faced with the provocation of human rights organizations, people like David directly arrest people. If they can be convicted, it will be awe-inspiring, but if they cannot be convicted, the consequences will be unbearable. of.
Just when there was a stalemate in the atmosphere, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Obadiah’s secretary came in. She said: "Director, someone from the human rights organization called and told us not to think about war. Then their own courts and judges will confuse right and wrong and forcefully convict their people, otherwise they will meet in front of the president.”
The senior executives who were already upset became even more upset after hearing this. Obadiah among them looked at Donald and said, "Call David now and see. What did he say?”
Donald didn’t waste any time. He immediately took out his cell phone and dialed David’s number, and also turned on the speakerphone.
Los Angeles City Bureau, David was discussing the court session with Nicola. When he saw that the caller was Donald, he first said sorry to Nicola opposite, and then walked outside to answer the call. Said: "Deputy Director Donald."
"David, we saw the news. You had a conflict with people from a human rights organization in front of the Los Angeles City Bureau, right? But the people you arrested... What does it mean to take advantage of this trial to deal with them all together?”
“It’s nothing, that’s just the literal meaning.”
"Literally? Are you saying that you are sure to deal with them?"
"Deputy Director Donald, our western suburbs branch has long known through channels that people from human rights organizations plan to denounce us. Just in case, So I naturally made some preparations in advance. "
Of course it was impossible for David to tell the other party that he had a cheat. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble and appease the other party, he could only give out such an excuse. .
Washington General Administration, after hearing these words, Donald and other senior officials were shocked.
To be honest, they were also worried that David had been carried away, so he ordered people to be arrested on the street and said big words like that he would be tried today.
But if Luo Zhi had investigated these three people in advance and found out about them, it would be different.
If these three people are really convicted, it will not only give a good blow to the arrogance of these mad dogs of human rights organizations, but also allow the majesty of the IRS to be publicized again. This is the best of both worlds. Something!
“These people from human rights organizations are not ordinary people. Are you sure you can find a reason to convict them?”
“I have to let you know in advance that these people are not lawless people. There will be no illegal income or deliberate tax evasion. Of course, you can still find a reason to convict them."
Donald understood what David meant, and he looked first. Turning to Obadiah, Obadiah nodded after a pause, and then he said into the phone: "As long as you can find a reason to convict, we have the right to interpret the tax law anyway."
"That's no problem, let's leave it like this for now. I'll deal with things here first."
David originally planned to convict these three people according to the provisions of the tax deduction law, but now he has the endorsement from the General Administration , then he would be relieved.
As for the General Administration, after hanging up the phone, Lahan was the first to say: "If we do this, will there be a big reaction from human rights organizations?"
He also From what I heard, the reason for the conviction that David wanted to find would definitely be controversial afterwards.
“As long as he is really suspected of tax evasion, then no matter how controversial it is, it is still tax evasion, and we have the right to try them!”
Although David did not say the specific reason for the conviction, he was definitely suspected of tax evasion, and as long as it can be proven that they have committed tax evasion, then the reason is on their side!
Lahan touched his upper and lower lips, but in the end he couldn't say anything more.
Los Angeles City Bureau.
"Director David, would you like to reconsider this matter? Or maybe you can detain them for a day or two and wait until the evidence is sufficient before trying them."
Nicola also thought that it was too hasty to start the trial today. If no convicting evidence could be produced, the entire IRS would be in trouble.
"No need, Judge Nicola, I said in front of the media that today is today, don't worry, I don't dare to say that if I'm not sure!"
"This...Okay, let's start the court first. Trial the eight criminal bosses?”
“Yeah.”
David said no problem, then opened the door and walked towards the court.
Due to matters related to human rights organizations, the court session originally scheduled for 2 o'clock today had to be postponed to 2.30. However, even so, none of the celebrities invited from all walks of life showed impatience.
Because they were all looking forward to what David would do to convict the three temporarily added members of the human rights organization.
Not long after David entered the courtroom, Nicola walked out of the judge's passage.
"Everyone stand up."
Nicola came to the seat, sat down, banged the gavel, and said: Now this court announces that the trial is officially open, and brings the defendant! ”
In the passage, eight criminal group leaders including Joey and Price were brought to the dock one by one.
Although after this period of buffering, the eight people had psychologically adapted, but when they actually arrived in the courtroom, the eight people still trembled involuntarily. "
Nicola first looked at Darwin and asked: "Defendant Darwin, you are now suspected of tax evasion. What do you want to say? "
"Your Honor, I...I have nothing to say. I plead guilty. Please give me a lighter sentence as appropriate! ”
Hearing this answer, Nicola on the stage was stunned. Obviously she had not expected it. The other party did not even refute a word and just gave in.
Definitely. After calming down, he looked at the other leader, Joey, and asked, "Defendant Joey, you are now suspected of tax evasion, what do you want to say? ”
"I...I have nothing to say. I plead guilty and ask the judge for a lighter sentence!"
Nicola was stunned again, then she looked at the remaining six people and asked tentatively : "You...all plead guilty?"
"Yes, Your Honor, we all plead guilty, please use your discretion to give a lighter sentence..."
The six people said in unison.
After all, David has such detailed information about each of them, and this is still in the IRS court, so quibbles are definitely useless.
So the eight of them had discussed it in the detention room before. The best way was to give in immediately after going to court. This way they would most likely win leniency.
Seeing that the six people confessed directly, Nicola didn’t know how to impose a penalty for a while, because what David had discussed with him just now was to adopt the same penalty as the members of the Rodgorski Group. In shock.
But as the saying goes, leniency does not apply to those who confess. Now that people are so good at pleading guilty, we can’t just give them a thousand-year sentence in prison, right?
