United states tax collector

Originally, Tai Lun wanted to refuse.

But he was helpless when the Indians offered him a price he couldn't refuse.

In the end, he thought about it and realized that losing the lawsuit in the IRS court was a normal thing and not a shame, so he gritted his teeth and accepted it!

While thinking, the four Detwins had been brought to the trial seat.

Chiesa first looked at Dieter and asked: "Mr. Dieter, you are now being accused of tax evasion, planning to attack IRS personnel, absconding in fear of crime... and many other crimes. What do you have to say?"

Dieter first looked at Tai Lun, then turned around and said: "I did not plan to attack the IRS personnel. This was all done by others without my knowledge!"

It can be seen that Dieter has obviously been advised.

Those who mentioned him knew very well that among his many crimes, only assaulting an IRS officer was the most serious.

If this crime can be acquitted, then maybe he can still come out of prison alive in his lifetime!

Chiesa asked: "Others? Who do you mean?"

Dieter replied: "I don't know!"

"But according to the information submitted by the IRS, this was obviously planned by you, and you are the only one with this motive!"

"I don't know, it's not my instigation!"

Chiesa's face darkened, he looked at David who was sitting in the first row, and said, "In that case, please ask the person in charge of this case, Chief Tax Officer David, to come up and make a statement!"

David stood up, walked to the court, and said: "Your Honor, according to the third page of document No. 4 I submitted, there is a witness statement about Dieter's murder, and the witness is the defendant Iman. Right here, ready to testify!”

Chiesa turned to Document No. 4 that David mentioned and read it, then looked at Iman and asked: "Mr. Iman, as the perpetrator, who ordered you to assassinate Chief David?"

Iman raised his head and said: "Your Honor, the assassination was Dieter's intention."

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't instruct you to fight at all!"

Dieter immediately roared out.

At this time, Tai Lun also raised his palm, indicating that he wanted to speak.

Chiesa said: "Please let the defense lawyer speak!"

Tai Lun stood up and said: "Your Honor, according to the information I know, Mr. Dieter did not instruct Iman to assassinate the IRS personnel. There was someone else who instigated him!"

"Is there someone else? Who is it?"

Tai Lun turned to look at Iman and asked: "Mr. Iman, as far as I know, you have never met Mr. Dieter before, and you have a close relationship with Virginia. Was Virginia instigating this assassination operation?" your!"

Upon hearing this, the people at the scene finally understood.

It turns out that Dieter planned to blame his subordinate Virginia for the assassination!

Everyone also focused their attention on Virginia's face, but found that although he looked downcast at this time, he said nothing, as if he had predicted this result.

Of course, it is impossible to predict in advance, and humans do not have this ability.

The only explanation is that they had colluded before!

Chiesa looked at Iman and asked: "Mr. Iman, is what the defense lawyer said true?"

Iman was speechless for a moment.

Because it is true that as Tyron said, he had only served under Virginia before and had never met Dieter.

Therefore, even if he knew that Dieter instigated this matter, as long as Virginia refused to admit it, he would have no direct evidence to prove it.

In the end, he could only turn his eyes to David, and his eyes seemed to tell David: There is nothing I can do!

But David was not in a hurry at this time. He said slowly: "Your Honor, I would like to invite a witness named Sapir!"

"allow!"

Not long after, Sapir was brought out by an inspector.

Seeing his appearance, Dieter's eyes instantly burst into flames and he became excited, because he had just heard that Sapir was attending as a witness.

In other words, he came to testify against himself!

While thinking, Sapir was already on the witness stand.

Chiesa asked: "Mr. Sapir, please explain your identity first!"

"It's your Honor!"

Sapir first looked at Dieter with a fearful look, then looked at David, and finally organized some words and said: "I am the lawyer of Dieter's criminal group. In the group, I am mainly responsible for helping Dieter launder money and avoid evasion." Legal issues and many other matters..."

Chiesa asked: "In other words, you are a senior figure in this group?"

"Yes your honor!"

"Then what do you have to testify about Dieter's alleged assassination of an IRS officer?"

"When Dieter was about to prepare for the assassination, I was at the scene. I heard with my own ears that it was Virginia who was instructed by Dieter, and Virginia finally found Iman..."

"You bastard, you betrayed me, I'm going to kill you damn Sapir!"

Before Sapir could finish speaking, Dieter immediately became furious, showing his teeth and claws. If there were not inspectors in front of him to hold him up, he might have pounced on him.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Chiesa picked up the gavel and banged it three times, and shouted: "Quiet! Defense lawyer, do you have anything to add?"

Tyron was silent.

He didn't know anything about Sapir, and Dieter didn't seem to tell him last night that Sapir would testify in court, so he was caught off guard now.

After all, as a senior figure in the Dieter Group, Sapir heard the assassination at the scene. With this testimony, he could not overturn it no matter what.

Of course, in the final analysis, time is still too hasty.

If he could be given ten days and a half to study this case slowly, then maybe he could find some rebuttal points.

But now he has only been given one night's work. With so much evidence and witnesses from the IRS, even if he is a god, there is nothing he can do to save his life.

"Since there is nothing to add, then the charge of assassinating an IRS officer will be considered established!"

Chiesa opened another document and continued: "Mr. Dieter, I am now charging you with the second charge, suspected of tax evasion!"

"According to the information submitted by Tax Commissioner David, he has frozen more than 15 million yuan in your account. In addition, nearly 3 million yuan in cash and several drugs were found in your warehouse. What do you want to say? of?"

Dieter did not reply, but Tai Lun stood up with his hands raised and replied: "Your Honor, the frozen accounts do not belong to Dieter's name. In other words, there is no tax evasion problem. In addition, Those so-called warehouses and the seized drug cash also did not belong to Dieter's name, so I think this crime should not be established!"

Here, David gave Sapir a look.

Sapir immediately understood and raised his hand and said: "Your Honor, those accounts were established through an agreement between me and several rich people who have not disclosed their bankruptcies, and then they were opened in their names. In the end, the actual controller is Dieter, I can testify to this, and in the testimony I gave, there is also detailed process information for opening an account..."

Chiesa on the stage looked through the information, nodded in approval, and finally looked at Talen and said: "Defense lawyer, do you have anything to add?"

Tai Lun's expression turned around and he replied: "There may be discrepancies in the account, but the cash and drugs in the warehouse have nothing to do with Mr. Dieter!"

With Sapir's testimony and the information submitted, he knew it was impossible to refute the account.

So he could only try his best to get rid of some charges. Even if he didn't get a good result, at least he had to let the Indians see him coming to the court. Taking the money would be considered as doing his part!

This time it was David's turn to raise his palms, and he said: "Your Honor, regarding the warehouse, I think I need to invite a few more witnesses to come forward and make statements!"

"allow."

Soon, three more people were brought in.

And these three people are none other than Baldwin, Byron, and Gustav.

"Damn it, Baldwin, Byron, Gustav, are you three bastards going to side with the IRS? Well, well, well, I, Dieter, have misjudged you dogs!"

Seeing the appearance of these three people, Dieter, who was already irritable and restless, became a little more ferocious in his eyes and face.

The three of them did not dare to look at each other and lowered their heads after arriving at the witness stand. They did not speak one after another until Chiesa on the stage reminded them to state their identities.

"Your Honor, my name is Baldwin, and I am one of the key members of the Dieter criminal group. As long as my responsibility is to manage part of the drug trading and processing for him, the No. 1 warehouse seized by the IRS this time is the one I manage. scope."

"Your Honor, my name is Byron, and I am also the backbone of Dieter's criminal group. My responsibility is also to manage drug transactions for him. Warehouse No. 2 is my scope."

"Your Honor, my name is Gustave..."

After hearing the three people's statements, Chiesa asked on the stage: "Okay, since you have all proved that you are the backbone of Dieter's subordinates, then tell me whether this warehouse has anything to do with Dieter!"

Baldwin was the first to speak: "Your Honor, we are all led by Dieter, and this warehouse is of course related to him. Generally, our process is like this. We first purchase drugs from drug trafficking organizations, transport them back to the warehouse for processing, and then distribute them to The 'dealers' below will go to the place controlled by Dieter to sell, and the final profits will be handed over to Dieter..."

"Your Honor, the regional operation model I manage is similar. First..."

"..."

In the following time, the three of them elaborated on their testimonies. From the purchase of drugs, to processing, and finally the profits were handed over to Dieter for distribution, a complete gray industrial chain was presented at the scene. In everyone's ears.

Chiesa looked at Talen and asked, "Defense lawyer, do you have anything to rebut?"

The three Baldwins explained the whole process so clearly. How could Tai Lun refute? He could only look at Gal and others who came to listen in the auditorium, shook his head slightly, saying that he had no choice but to do his best. !

"Okay, if that's the case, then Mr. Dieter, your charge of tax evasion has been confirmed. As for absconding in fear of crime, I don't think there is any need to elaborate too much!"

What happened yesterday shocked the whole country. Armed forces from the Internal Revenue Service marched into the Indian tribe, and only then did they find Dieter.

Therefore, as long as the first two charges are true, there is no need to say more about the one about absconding in fear of crime, just like what Chiesa said!

"Next, the suspect Twin Omaha will be tried. The main charges include tax evasion, armed resistance to the IRS, harboring, etc.!"

Chiesa looked at Twin and said, "Mr. Twin, what do you have to defend against the accusations made against you by this court?"

His son's crime has been proven, and Tewen himself can't defend himself, he can only remain silent.

But Tai Lun had taken the money after all. He immediately stood up with his hands raised and defended: "Your Honor, first of all, regarding tax evasion, I would like to express my disapproval!"

"According to U.S. federal law, Indians have tax privileges, and the Black Tax Act was only introduced on the 3rd of last year."

"As an elder of an Indian tribe, Mr. Twin seldom communicates with the outside world and neglected the black tax bill. This is human nature!"

Tyron's rebuttal point is quite reasonable.

If you want to say that the black tax bill has been out for a year and a half, that's easy to say.

But it has only been launched for less than two months. Apart from politicians, civil servants, and people who pay attention to the news in the market, who would know the existence of such a bill?

I was negligent, this is normal!

Chiesa nodded, agreeing with Tai Lun's statement, and then looked at David and said, "Taxmaster David, do you have anything to add?"

"Your Honor, why did Dieter escape back to the Indian reservation? As his father, doesn't Tevin know the reason?"

"Since he knows the reason, it proves that he knows about the black tax bill, and we went to the reservation police to give a warning the day before yesterday. So subjectively, this is tax evasion. There is no doubt about it!"

What David said is also reasonable.

The Dieter case became such a big deal, and Dieter ran back to the reservation. As a father, doesn't Twin know that his son had a conflict with the IRS because he didn't want to pay taxes?

Now that Tevin knew about it, and the IRS came to warn him first, it was confirmed that he was evading taxes subjectively.

David added: "Your Honor, on page 2 of Document No. 6, there is detailed information about Mr. Twin's illegal gains..."

Chiesa immediately opened the document. After reviewing it for a few minutes, he turned to Talon and asked, "Defense lawyer, do you have anything to add?"

Tai Lun's Adam's apple squirmed back and forth, but in the end he did not continue to struggle with this issue, but changed the topic: "Your Honor, it was Dieter who returned to the reservation on his own initiative, and as a father, no matter what crime his son has committed, , protection is necessary, this is human nature, and according to federal law, this should not be regarded as harboring!"

In the legal system of this country, the United States does not actually advocate the act of making a kiss in person.

There have been many cases where the son committed a crime and the father provided a lot of help to the son, but in the end the father was still acquitted.

The final explanation given by the judge was that the law should not be greater than love. As a father who protects his son out of love, he should not be blamed or punished by the law!

This also shows the human touch of the law!

Now Tai Lun has obviously grasped this rule and is rebutting the charge of covering up.

"Your Honor, the law should not be greater than emotion, but it also depends on the specific extent."

"It would be fine if Tevin was simply protecting his son. The key thing is that he secretly purchased arms and armed young tribal warriors to fight against the IRS, which almost caused our IRS to lose an Apache!"

"Such a heartless behavior cannot be summed up by simply covering up. It should be punished!"

Hearing David's words, Chiesa nodded, looked at Tai Lun and said: "Defense lawyer, shielding, refers to helping Dieter escape or avoid IRS inspection, but Te Wen is arming himself. When young people fight against the IRS, this is not only cover-up, but also violent resistance to the law for the sake of cover-up. Therefore, your appeal is not valid!"

"this……"

Tai Lun was choked and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

In this way, under the testimonies of witnesses and physical evidence, the twins' charges were basically irrefutable and could no longer be refuted.

Next, Chiesa conducted another trial on Virginia and Iman.

Seeing that both Twin and Dieter's charges had been concluded, Virginia naturally had nothing to refute, and was soon confirmed as well.

As for Iman, because he reached an agreement with David, he didn't need to go to trial at all and just pleaded guilty.

At this point, all four main members of the Dieter case have been tried.

Next, everyone's minds were raised, because they knew that the climax of this trial was coming!
