american tax collector

"Mr. President, I think we can't let him go on like this any longer. If he continues like this, sooner or later disaster will befall us."

Wilder's words made Paiden feel even more depressed at the moment.

David's reputation in America is very high now, and this kid's current style of doing things is basically to kill anyone who stands in his way.

Now he is unwilling to even give face to the president.

If he really had a conflict with him, this kid might not dare to attack him directly.

Just like last time, in order to force him to sign the tax avoidance bill, this guy went to the vice president and reached some agreement with the other party, hoping to put pressure on him.

No, this matter requires some preparation!

"Come back first, Wilder. We should study this matter carefully!"

"I'll take the special plane back now."

"..."

……

Two days later, at 77 Madison Avenue, the IRS's exclusive court in New York.

At this moment, a large number of media reporters have arrived at the scene.

Some well-known business and political figures who were invited to attend the lecture also arrived here.

"Hello, dear audience friends. Today is the day when the IRS will hold a hearing against Governor Dalic, Mayor Andre, Director Kanggua and others. This matter has been a concern for the entire United States over the past two days. Let's see what happens next."

Two days ago, news suddenly broke out in New York that a trial would be held against Governor Dalick, Mayor Andre and other officials, and the next day this was confirmed by the IRS.

And today is the time for the trial.

Everyone is looking forward to what the outcome will be.

"Inspector General, Harold, Cornell, and these guys all made all kinds of excuses for not coming."

In a lounge in the court building, Munson came up to David and said.

"Ok?"

A cold light flashed in David's eyes.

New York State has 2 senators and 31 representatives.

At present, he has basically taken over the two Senate candidates headed by Langman and Stevenson Ive, so only a group of congressmen are left.

Originally, I wanted to invite them here this time, use this trial to give them some deterrence, and then talk to them about the midterm elections.

But I didn't expect that these people would pretend to be dead and not come. This is a bit disrespectful!

But then again, from this pleasing perspective, it is understandable that these people did not jump out directly to oppose him like Langman and Stevenson.

But being in New York State, it has close ties with the Freemasonry.

David is now openly planning to send people from their camp to prison and is acting as if he wants to make an example of them. It would be strange if these people would come to support him.

And there is another point. If David can send these people to trial, he may be able to send them to trial as well. It is human nature that these people are afraid and dare not come!

Never mind, if they don’t want to come, then they don’t have to come.

David is now in New York. Do these people still think they can hide from him?
After he has dealt with Dalic and his men, he will naturally treat them well!
Putting his thoughts aside, David walked out of the lounge and came to the judge's office not far away. He knocked on the door and walked in.

At this time, a woman in her 40s was sitting inside. When she saw him come in, she immediately said, "Are you ready here, Inspector David?"

"I'm fine on my end, but I'm sorry to interrupt your vacation, Judge Alika."

Today was originally Judge Alika's day off, but because David had a trial scheduled for today, she had to be called back.

"Don't bother me. This kind of case that has attracted national attention is exactly what I want."

For such a major case, she would have to crawl over from the hospital to participate even if she was on maternity leave, let alone taking vacation.

"Okay, Judge Alika, the court is about to start, let's go over the procedures first."

"it is good."

"..."

Twenty minutes later, it was ten o'clock in the morning.

At this time, most of the invited people had arrived in the courtroom's gallery.

In addition, several major media outlets that were granted permission also entered the scene and broadcast the event live.

"Hello everyone, this is BBC. We have entered the courtroom. The trial of Governor Dalic, Mayor Andre, Director Kanggua and others is about to begin. Let's see if the IRS can convict them..."

Under the media reports, David and Alika also stepped into the scene separately.

"All rise!"

Alika put on the judge's uniform and walked out of the courtroom corridor. When she reached her seat, she said, "Sit down. Bring the defendant!"

After that, more than a dozen officials from New York State, including Dalic, Andre, and Kanggua, were brought out.

What many people find intriguing is that at this moment, the expressions of these people are still relatively calm, as if they are not affected at all by becoming defendants.

What’s even more interesting is that after these people showed up, there was no sign of the defense lawyer appearing next.

Although the IRS's trial is very strong, the defendant can still enjoy this basic right of an attorney.

Now that no defense lawyer has appeared, there is only one explanation, that is, they did it on purpose. !
Many people at the scene were also confused at this moment, wondering what these people were planning.

"Defendant Kanggua, this court now accuses you of multiple crimes including favoritism, collusion with drug dealers, tax evasion, etc. What do you want to say?"

As Judge Alica made her opening remarks, all eyes were focused on the New York Police Commissioner.

What surprised people again was that Kanggua had no intention of speaking and remained calm and silent.

"Defendant, you have the right to remain silent!"

David turned to look at David and said, "Now please invite Inspector General David to come to the stage to make a statement!"

David walked to the front of the stage, took out an envelope and said, "Your Honor, I believe you and everyone else still remember the so-called Thunder Operation launched by the New York City Police Department a while ago. Here is information about the collusion between Director Kanggua and some criminal group leaders during this operation. Please take a look!"

The law enforcement officers at the scene handed the document to Alika on the stage. After carefully reading it for five or six minutes, Alika turned the document over in front of the public and said, "Defendant, this document does record some relevant data about you and some criminal groups in New York. What do you want to say?"

"According to the documents, the so-called Daji criminal operation carried out by Director Kanggua was actually some kind of agreement reached with those criminal groups?"

"This also involves millions of dollars in profit transactions. I'm afraid Director Kanggua will not be able to clear himself from this."

"..."

After seeing the contents of the document through the media's cameras, the New York citizens who were watching at the moment were also instantly shocked.

Although Kanggua's face looked a little gloomy, he still remained silent.

Alika looked at David again and said, "Inspector General David, do you have anything else to add?"

"Your Honor, the physical evidence is already there, but in order to allow the public to learn more detailed evidence of Kanggua's crimes, I would like to request a key witness from the criminal group to come up and make a statement."

"permit!"

In the passage, a man about 30 years old with tattoos all over his body was brought up.

"Witness, please begin your statement now."

"Yes, Your Honor, my name is Ruth Godfrey. Before Director Congua launched Operation Thunder, we..."

The man named Ruth explained the details of the operation previously carried out by the New York City Police Department and the objectives to be achieved, which immediately caused an uproar among many people at the scene and on the Internet.

“I didn’t expect that this Kanggua would be such a person.”

"It's terrible that he colluded with these criminal gangs. Fortunately, Inspector General David took him down, otherwise, I don't know how he would have harmed New York!"

"Tax evasion is already serious enough, but Director Kanggua actually colluded with criminal gangs and bent the law for personal gain to canvass votes for certain candidates!"

"I was so angry that I went to protest for him before. Now it seems that it is not unfair for our police chief to be taken away by the IRS!"

As if he had sensed the whispers of the crowd at the scene and the discussions online, Kanggua finally showed a hint of uneasiness in his expression.

"Defendant, do you have anything to refute the witness's statement?"

Kanggua remained silent.

This naturally aroused doubts among many people at the scene and online.

The evidence is conclusive and the verdict is about to be announced, how come you still haven't said a word?
Even if a dog were to be tried today, it might bark at the court.

Are you really just going to accept your fate?
In short, everything that Kanggua has shown so far makes everyone feel too weird.

Alika on the stage ignored everyone's thoughts and said bluntly: "Since the defendant does not want to make a statement, it doesn't matter. Now there are witnesses and evidence. All the crimes committed are established. The punishment will be made later!"

With Alika's words, it means that Kanggua has no chance of turning the tables, and the only thing waiting for him next is prison.

"Governor Dalic, this court is now charging you with corruption, abuse of power, and tax evasion. What do you want to say?"

Alika's question instantly focused everyone's attention on Dalic.

But what surprised everyone once again was that Governor Dalic, like Yves, remained silent.

Alika ignored him and looked at David, saying, "Inspector General David, it's your turn to make a statement!"

David took the file bag handed over by Munson and said, "Your Honor, this contains Governor Dalic's account at the Swiss Bank and some unknown fund transactions. Please take a look!"

The law enforcement officers brought the document bag to Judge Alika.

About seven or eight minutes later, Alika turned the document over and exposed it to the media as she did before, then questioned Dalic, "Defendant, according to the investigation results on the document, these accounts are indeed yours, and there is a large amount of money in them. Do you have anything to explain?"

Dalek frowned slightly, but remained silent.

This made Alika, who had been in court for a long time, gradually speechless. She then looked at David and said, "Inspector General David, do you have anything else to add?"

"Indeed, there are some. We have also found some key witnesses."

"Permission to appear in court!"

Four men walked up in the passage.

These four people were also familiar to many people present. Three of them were senior executives of three well-known New York companies, and one was Dalic's administrative assistant.

Seeing these people, a cold light flashed in Dalic's eyes.

"Witnesses, please make a statement!"

"Yes, your honor!"

The leading witness stood up and said, "First, let me introduce myself. I am the vice president of PO Group. On the 2nd of last month, the state government held a tender. Our group... spent 200 million US dollars and learned the internal price from Governor Dalic, so we won the tender..."

As soon as the witness spoke.

There was an uproar inside and outside the venue. Many people had been questioning before, did David really have evidence of Governor Dalic's crime?

But from now on, based on the previous information plus the current testimony of witnesses, it is proven that the governor is indeed guilty of favoritism, bribery, tax evasion and other crimes.

While I was thinking, the first witness finished testifying, and then the second witness walked onto the stage and said, "Your Honor, my name is..."

"..."

After about ten minutes, the four witnesses finished their testimonies.

Among them, Dalek's assistant was the most eye-catching. He revealed all the things that Dalek had done over the years, including taking bribes, bending the law for personal gain, tax evasion, and even keeping several mistresses.

This also made Dalek, who had originally maintained a stern expression, gradually become distorted.

"According to the documents and witness testimonies, the defendant Dalic did indeed commit a large amount of tax evasion and crimes. Defendant, are you sure you don't want to defend yourself?"

Dalek moved his lips back and forth, but in the end he seemed to have thought of something and did not speak.

"Well, this court will assume that you have admitted the crime and will make a judgment on you next. Defendant Stevenson, the court now accuses you..."

Following Kanggua and Dalic, Stevenson, Andre and others were also interrogated one by one in the following period.

But what made everyone feel more and more interesting was that these people seemed to have reached some kind of unified opinion. No matter how Alika judged them, they had no intention of refutation or even opening their mouths to clarify.

Alika has been in the profession for seven or eight years, and this is the first time she has encountered such a situation in court.

The audience at the scene and the people watching the live broadcast were also puzzled by the situation and wondered what the people like Dalik Kanggua were planning. (End of this chapter)
