United states tax collector

Chapter 227: Take it, eight major film companies

"We're following the plan, so Disney doesn't have to worry."

It is true that Disney’s legal department is powerful, but that is also compared to others. David relies on the powerful tool of plug-in. As long as he has the witness evidence of Disney’s tax evasion, he can go to their IRS court. , no matter how powerful his legal department is, no matter how eloquent their lawyers are, it is absolutely impossible to escape sanctions.

Hearing that David, the backbone, was so confident, Hakeem Keanu and others relaxed a lot.

In the following time, David explained to everyone one by one the tasks that needed to be completed tonight, and finally told Hakeem: "Go to Judge Nicola and communicate about the court session tomorrow afternoon."

"The court is in session?"

Hakim was stunned. According to David, was he going to send these big names in?

But even if these big names really evade taxes, if they are sent in, will their fans go crazy?

"There are many things that need to be brought to court to have other effects. Don't worry, we don't really want to send them to jail."

David can also find these big names and reach tax payment agreements with them one by one in private, but in this case the eight major Hollywood film companies will not be involved.

He needs these people to come to court so that he can use the case to implicate the eight major film companies.

"Understood."

Hakim seemed to understand the meaning and turned around and left without asking any more questions.

After completing these arrangements, David immediately came to the detention room. In order to ensure the human rights of these big shots, this time he also specially asked his subordinates to prepare a separate detention room for each big shot.

Seeing David's arrival, all the big shots in the detention room showed anger in their eyes.

They thought that when the people from the Western Suburbs Branch brought them back, they would arrange a lounge or something like that for them, and take care of them with delicious coffee and snacks.

But I didn't expect that he would be thrown into the detention room without giving me face, let alone coffee and snacks.

You know, they thought they were just here to cooperate with the IRS, but the IRS actually regarded them as tax evaders?

This is simply unreasonable!

"Ms. Zhuli, I feel sorry for you to stay here for one night, but don't worry, I believe you will be fine after the trial is completed tomorrow."

David came to the door of the detention room where Zhuli was held and comforted her.

"Hmph, I'll be fine, but you don't know, Director David!"

Zhuli was immediately furious. Even if the IRS people took her back and threw her into a place like this, they actually let her stay here for one night?

"We'll find out tomorrow."

David replied, walked to the second detention room, and said to the people inside: "Mr. Will Smith, I have wronged you, and you will be fine."

"Director David, what your IRS is doing is inappropriate. If there is no explanation, I won't just let it go!"

Will Smith also lost his cooperative tone at the Oscars. He was obviously very dissatisfied with being brought back and locked up in the detention room for one night.

But David's face remained calm. Each of the people he brought back was suspected of tax evasion. Now he just wanted to be detained for one night to teach him a small lesson. Isn't that too much?

No longer paying attention, David continued to walk to the next detention room and said the same words. Soon, he said words of comfort to all the big shots.

Finally, before leaving, he said: "Oh, by the way, let me remind you that the investigation of your case will be heard in the court of our city bureau at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"What did you say!"

The pupils of Julie, Will Smith and a dozen other celebrities suddenly shrank, and their breathing became rapid.

They thought that David only invited them back for investigation, but they didn't expect that they would go to court tomorrow afternoon.

Doesn’t that mean that this is not an investigation at all, but an accusation against them?

And many of them had heard of David's style of conduct. Once they went to court, they basically encountered harsh sentences.

Will they also end up like this?

All the big names now realized that something was wrong and gradually became panicked.

Because they know very well that the courts of the IRS are basically a one-word existence. If they are determined to punish them, they may really lose their skin.

"Director David, we have not evaded taxes. You can't take us to court like this. This will have a huge impact on our reputation!"

Zhu Li couldn't sit still. He was the goodwill ambassador of the UN Refugee Agency of the United Nations. If this went to court, even if Ben was acquitted in the end, it would have an impact on his reputation.

"Zhu Li is right. If this goes to court and proves that we are not guilty, what will happen to the waste of our time and our reputation?"

"Director David, although your IRS is very powerful, you can't just take us to court without going through all the procedures or notifying us. This is trampling on the human rights of each of us!"

Following Zhuli's speech, the other big names couldn't sit still and stood up to accuse one by one.

"Whether there is tax evasion or not is not up to you, but to the judge and our IRS. And I've said it before, if I can't give an explanation, I will resign on my own initiative. No need to say more!"

David ignored them and turned to the guards here to tell them: "Keep an eye on these people. If they have any needs, try to satisfy them!"

After all, these people are Hollywood big shots, and they are not heinous criminals, so David has given them some more human rights.

"Yes, Director!"

This night is destined to be a night that many people will inevitably stay up all night. Everyone is looking forward to the result after dawn.

Early the next morning, what happened at the Oscars last night was undoubtedly on the front pages of the United States.

[Los Angeles Times: The most unforgettable Oscar ceremony in history, the IRS actually became the protagonist! 】

[Washington Post: Shocked! David, the director of the Western Suburbs Bureau, ‘caught all the Hollywood big shots’! 】

[BBC: Global focus on Los Angeles, IRS’s big move! 】

"Fake, what's going on?"

"The IRS swept the Oscars? What the heck!"

"This is another big incident caused by Chief David. He arrested all these big names this time. What exactly did he want to do?"

"What are you doing? You have arrested all these big shots, but these big shots are also evading taxes, right?"

The Oscar ceremony last night was very late, so many people couldn't bear to go to bed first.

But when they woke up and looked at the morning paper, they discovered that something shocking happened last night that shocked the world. This moment made them speechless.

At this time, the gate of the Western Suburbs Bureau was already crowded with reporters.

"That's...Director David is coming out."

When the time came to nine o'clock, a sharp-eyed reporter in the crowd shouted, and the scene immediately became agitated. Countless media who wanted to get first-hand news immediately rushed forward.

"Don't be agitated, please stay calm. Our director will answer your questions!"

Nissenbaki and the others who followed David immediately maintained order.

But the order on the scene is almost there.

David then walked up and asked the Washington Post reporter, "What do you want to ask?"

"Director David, after a night of investigation, do you have any plans to release him today?"

David shook his head and replied: "I may release him, but I have to wait until the trial is over!"

"Trial?"

Many media reporters at the scene were stunned.

The reporter from the Washington Post was just stunned and immediately asked: "Excuse me, director, when will the trial start?"

David looked at his watch and said, "It's 9:05 in the morning, and we will hear this tax evasion case at 3 in the afternoon!"

"3 points!"

Although there were many precedents before, the media and the audience became excited after hearing that the trial of these Hollywood big shots was going to be held at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

"No way. Is Director David going to take these Hollywood big shots to court just like he did the previous criminal groups?"

"The person was arrested yesterday and will be sent to court today. This must have been premeditated by the Western Suburbs Branch!"

"I have always heard that the Western Suburbs Branch is preparing to launch a tax clearance operation against Hollywood. If I don't do it, I won't do it. It was so shocking once it was done, and I don't know what the result will be next!"

Unlike previous trials, members of criminal groups such as Rodgorski and human rights organizations were all unfamiliar to the public.

The people who are going to trial this time are more than a dozen of Hollywood's top celebrities. In addition, the matter appeared at the Oscar ceremony last night, which naturally attracted global attention.

At the same time, 20th Century Fox Film Company Headquarters.

As soon as he received the news about the trial at 3pm from the Western Suburbs Branch, Hauner hurriedly held a high-level meeting. He looked at a woman in professional attire and asked: "Renata, go to the Western Suburbs Branch. I’ve talked to McCartney and the big guys, are there any issues?”

Since the Western Suburbs Branch dares to hold a trial at 3 p.m., the fool knows that he must be very confident, and he has to worry.

The woman who was riding Renata paused and said slowly: "Our legal department has checked the cooperation with these big names in the past few years. There is no problem with taxation in the past ten years, but if we push it further, now The statistics haven’t been calculated yet, and we don’t have time to count them one by one now…”

"Push forward..."

Hauner frowned. As the current CEO of the company, he certainly knew how his film company started.

In fact, not to mention their company, the other seven major film companies, as well as Hollywood film companies large and small, all had this dark history more or less in the last century or the beginning of this century.

In this regard, Hollywood is similar to the original Hong Kong film industry.

The Hong Kong film industry in the 1990s was basically controlled by gangs and money launderers. Criminals needed to launder money through film companies, and film companies needed to use the funds of criminals to develop.

It's just that with the modernization of time, the improvement of laws, and the growth of their company's scale, these dark histories have been gradually abandoned.

"But there is no need to worry too much about this. David has only been in office for about ten days. No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to find out what happened so many years ago. I am worried that he will use the same methods he used to deal with human rights organizations to deal with us! "

"He only uses this method to deal with those unknown people. How dare he use it on us and those big names?"

"No, I don't think he dares to forcibly accuse him. After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that the attention this time has attracted global attention. If he dares to do this, he will not be able to convince the public!"

The last time he targeted human rights organizations, David used charges such as tips, coupons, and stones, which was not very convincing to the public.

It was only because he was a member of a human rights organization, and the human rights organization later recognized it, that it did not cause subsequent ferment.

And this time, if he dares to accuse those big names with such trivial things, then the fans of these big names will definitely not be convinced.

There will definitely be a huge public outcry at that time!

At this point, most executives at Fox Film Company thought that David should not dare to do this.

Renata curled her lips and said, "I also hope they won't do this."

Hauner was silent for a moment and said: "Forget it, don't waste time, while there is still some time now, prepare for the court hearing at three o'clock!"

While Fox Film Company was discussing, at the same time, the other seven major film companies were also studying countermeasures based on the three points of court hearing news released by the Western Suburbs Branch.

After discussions from all parties, the time finally came to 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Western suburbs branch, in the director's office.

"Director, according to your instructions, I brought all those people back and checked their confessions with the witnesses. They should not retract their confessions again!"

"Director, this is the detailed list of funds for that year. Thanks to the many channels of our IRS, we can find it."

"Director, this is..."

Buckney, Simmons and others are reporting on the mission assigned by David.

David checked the testimony and evidence, and after confirming that there were no problems, he said: "Very good, then get ready and take people to the city bureau!"

Half an hour later, David and his party arrived at the gate of the city bureau. At this time, City Director Felton and State Director João also came here.

Upon seeing his arrival, Joao came over with a haggard face and asked: "Director David, are you really sure?"

After receiving the news last night, Joao was shocked and couldn't sleep all night.

Since the incident with Rodgorski and the human rights organization, he has realized that although David is very good at getting into trouble, fortunately, he can handle things perfectly every time. He is indeed a talent.

But he still never expected that David would actually go to the Oscars last night and cause such a thing that shocked the world.

"Don't worry, Director Joao, it'll be okay."

"Oh well……"

Seeing how confident David was, and seeing what had happened, Joao knew there was no point in saying anything else. We can only wait and see how things develop later.

"I'll go and communicate with Judge Nicola first."

After saying that, David turned around and came to the elevator. He took the elevator all the way up and soon arrived at Judge Nicola's office. After knocking on the door, he opened the door and walked in.

"Director David, these big shots...are all going to be charged today?"

As soon as she saw him coming in, Nicola asked worriedly.

She also didn't sleep well last night.

The people being tried this time are all big names with millions of fans, and their influence is many times greater than those who were tried before.

So it is definitely false to say that he has no psychological pressure.

"Yes, no problem, Judge Nicola?"

"Of course I have no problem..."

"Since there is no problem, let me communicate the details with you first..."

Of course, the details David mentioned were not to actually send these big names in. He only hoped to use the influence of this court trial to involve the eight major film companies behind them, so as to launch an offensive against them.

When she heard that David did not really want to punish these big names, Nicola breathed a sigh of relief and immediately nodded: "In this case, as long as they plead guilty, let them pay a late fee, and then give up. ?"

"Yes, they are just movie stars. Although they have some influence, for us, the eight major movie companies are more important!"

Nicola agreed very much with David's words.

Although these movie stars are big-time celebrities, their annual income is only one to two hundred million, while the eight major film companies can easily make tens of billions.

If the oil can be hung from them, that's a big deal!

"Okay, I know what to do."

David nodded, turned around, opened the door, left the office, and came to the courtroom.

Seeing his arrival, Hakeem immediately came to his side and whispered: "Director, look over there."

Looking along what Hakim pointed out, he could see a dozen men with extraordinary temperament in suits sitting under the lawyer's table below.

"That's Wycliffe, Carey, Daniel, Rodrick..."

"It goes without saying, I know them!"

Before Hakeem could finish speaking, David interrupted directly.

He knew most of these people.

They are among the highest-paid elite lawyers in the United States.

He is also the queen lawyer for many big names in the American film and television industry. What he is best at is handling various contract and legal disputes for these big names.

But if it were another legal dispute, these elite lawyers might be really useful.

But in today's tax evasion case, let alone them, even if the King of Heaven comes, it will be of no use.
