Chapter 829
The announcement of the task force's personnel appointment caused an instant sensation. The anti-Semitic people in the country were satisfied, and the people above were hard-liners.
As the task force leader, Earl Waiters, at a press conference not long ago, he publicly asked the court to severely punish criminals, and he would definitely not be soft-hearted.
The Jewish capital forces who were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe are also satisfied. Although they have not contacted directly, everyone still vaguely knows that these are their own people.
Even Ryders, who was in charge of the central liaison, breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was in charge of the investigation, the matter must be over soon.
The only thing that surprised him was that there were too many people in the investigation team, and many irrelevant department officials were also removed, which was not in line with the usual governance model of the Vienna government.
If he couldn't figure it out, he was too lazy to think about it. He could only attribute it to the powerful backstage bosses who could influence the decision-making of the Vienna government.
It is also logical to make this judgment. The relationship between nobles is intricate, and it can be said that there are relatives everywhere.
As long as you are willing to put down your body and ask for help, you can basically achieve your goals without conflict of interest.
All parties are satisfied, but only a few parties are forced.
Maybe you have just received a personnel appointment, and everyone has a little surprise, but after seeing the colleagues in the investigation team, they are not happy anymore.
One or two entered the investigation team. It is also possible that it was a coincidence that everyone entered the investigation team together. This coincidence is too much. Anyway, Count Waiters does not believe it.
After the initial panic, he still went to the investigation team to report. No matter what, he couldn't bear to back down at this time.
...
In the evening, the manor in the south of Vienna was brightly lit. Taking advantage of the opportunity to exchange feelings among colleagues, Count Waiters held a banquet.
Banquets are no longer popular in Austrian officials. Unless special days need to be celebrated, officials generally do not invite colleagues.
The excuse of "exchanging feelings" is a bit far-fetched now, but at this time, Count Waiters can't care so much.
Now that they have been exposed to the spotlight, playing a secret meeting at this time is simply courting death.
Although everyone works together during the day, who dares to discuss these issues in the office?
Seeing that everyone's interest was not high, Earl Waiters didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "Today, I invite everyone to come over to discuss how to deal with these capitalists.
The development of the situation has exceeded our expectations. The original plan has not worked. If we cannot handle it properly, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to escape this time. "
There is no way, from the moment they entered the investigation team, they were bound to the Jewish issue, and they could not get out of it.
Paul Bodis analyzed from a professional point of view: "The Earl is right, the current situation is indeed very bad, and this special personnel appointment is too targeted.
Without any warning, all of a sudden the investigation team was formed, and we happened to be in the investigation team.
All these signs indicate that our dealings with Jewish capitalists have been known above.
Let us take charge of this case, there are only two possibilities: either the above wants to remove us, but lacks strong evidence in their hands, and deliberately put us on the fire to be roasted on it;
Either the above doesn't want to make things bigger and is ready to give us another chance. The final outcome depends on our next actions.
No matter what kind of situation it is, the most important thing right now is to do a good job in the aftermath. As long as the government does not have definite evidence in its hands, it will not touch us. "
Knowing that there is a pit in front of you, you can only jump down with your eyes closed. This kind of feeling that life and death are controlled by people is naturally not wonderful.
Alberti nodded and continued: "I agree with Paul's judgment, but the aftermath work is not easy to do now.
There are too many bad things about Jewish capitalists, and the evidence that the police have at the moment can send them all to prison.
I personally checked the case file, and according to the current Austrian law, at least 300 people will be sentenced to death, more than 2,000 people will be sentenced to more than 20 years in prison, and the rest will not be sentenced for less than ten years.
There is no serious case. This time, the police arrested all repeat offenders. If the problem is not too serious, they will only be issued with a fine warning and restricted from leaving the country to see the aftermath.
In particular, the guys who have had contact with us are simply typical of scum and scum, and you may not dare to think about the strange things they have done.
Not to mention tax evasion and tax evasion, so many people arrested are all involved.
Manipulating, colluding with the underworld, opening underground casinos, and lending usury are all routine operations.
Some people are simply local black bosses, forcing good people to become prostitutes, selling drugs, and counterfeiting banknotes. None of these businesses have been severely suppressed by the government.
The bright side is bright and beautiful, but behind the scenes there is no evil, and everyone has a few lives in their hands.
By the way, these guys are still tinkering with Jewish schools and agitating Jewish civilians against the government's ethnic policies.
Forget it, I don't want to talk anymore. Working with these people is the thing I regret the most in my life.
Now that the outside world is staring at us, it is impossible to let go lightly.
The trouble is that the Jewish capital has a very wide network of contacts. Now they have only been arrested, but their family members and cronies have not been imprisoned.
It is very likely that these people outside also know about our relationship, and now that they have learned that we are in charge of the investigation team, they are probably celebrating.
If it's official business,
Or if they are given a light sentence within the scope of the rules, I am afraid they will not be satisfied.
If someone takes the lead in making a fuss and smashes the transaction, one of us will be counted as one, and no one will be able to escape. "
It is an inevitable result that there are sins, and those who lend usury are not involved in the underworld, that is a joke.
It's just that it's so deeply involved that it's hard for everyone to accept it. This is clearly a rhythm that is going to kill everyone.
However, everyone present had seen the big scene and knew that these crimes were not necessarily all committed by these Jewish capitalists.
Maybe some of them really participated. Most Jewish capitalists should not have the energy to sell drugs and counterfeit banknotes. After all, these transactions will be swept away by the police every once in a while, and the profits may not be comparable to usury.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the underworld gang that they colluded with made these transactions, they would have their share of the crime.
When it comes to combating the underworld, Austria's legal coverage is very broad.
The law expressly stipulates that if you join or collude with a criminal underworld group, you must be jointly and severally responsible for all the criminal acts of the group.
It is not surprising that Alberti was angry, the Jewish capitalists made all the money and dared to cooperate with anyone.
You must know that it is not only Jewish capitalists who have power and money transactions with them, but it is the first time he has encountered such a big crime.
The vast majority of capitalists are just wandering in the gray area. I would rather raise my own thugs than go to work with local societies.
Even if there is an occasional cooperation, it is a one-time settlement of money and goods, and there is rarely a long-term cooperation.
It is not once or twice that the Austrian police have cracked down on underworld gangs. The Jewish capitalists in the front were able to escape without the help of their backstage.
It's good that these things are not investigated. Once the cover is lifted, they will also be ruined.
They don't even need exact evidence to convict them, as long as there is some blame pointing at them, and the outside world is convinced, the family reputation will be ruined.
The premise of aristocratic splendor is to have a good reputation. Once the reputation is ruined, the power circle will not continue to play them.
When it comes to oneself, it must be self-preservation.
At this time, no one wants to save the Jewish capitalists, but the family members and cronies of these scumbags will not agree!
A country ruled by law must act in accordance with the law. Jewish capitalists have committed crimes, but as long as they are not involved in cases such as rebellion and monarchy, family members and cronies will not be implicated as long as they are not involved in the case.
Generally speaking, these people will just be monitored and banned from leaving the country until the court makes a final decision.
The number of people involved is tens of thousands, and they are scattered all over the country.
After hesitating for a while, Earl Waiters said slowly: "Then don't give them a chance to speak, dig deep into these cases, and find a way to involve their family members and cronies together.
I remember that there seems to be a rule in the law that people who know not to report crimes have done so many bad things, and it is impossible for the people around them to not know at all.
It is because these people did not report it that these criminals were able to get away with impunity for so long. We must punish them to warn future generations. "
Everyone fully affirmed the righteous words of Earl Waiters, and pointed out that these "non-reporters" must be severely punished.
"Be stricter than others, but be lenient with yourself".
It is human nature, and this double-standard law enforcement model is only the basic skill of politicians.
Earl Waiters is nothing more than an inexplicable sense of superiority, and it is not an isolated case, it can be seen in most nobles.
The reason is very simple. In this bad age, they are a little bit more ethical than the capitalists.
Even the taller one is not possessed by himself, but is burdened by the family's reputation and has to be restrained on the bright side.
Alberti asked hesitantly: "Your Excellency Count, will this be too much? The above does not allow us to expand, and taking action rashly, I am afraid it will cause..."
Earl Waiters interrupted: "We have no choice. If no action is taken, the situation will spiral out of control.
Now that things have come to this stage, if we want to retreat, we must go down the road of anti-Semitism to the end.
The current public opinion is very favorable to us, and the more ruthless we are to these Jewish capitalists, the less the outside world will believe that we have colluded with the Jewish capitalists.
In any case, we have not been too far ahead, as long as everyone insists: we have never engaged in power and money transactions.
With our firm anti-Semitic stance, even if a Jew who has slipped through the net presents substantial evidence, the people in the country will not believe it.
The worst result is nothing more than abandoning some industries. It is directly inferred that someone is using our name to deceive the outside world, and it is suggested that the government seize those enterprises and give us justice. "
There is nothing wrong, everyone has a preconceived habit, and the most staunch anti-Semites in the eyes of ordinary people will definitely not collude with Jewish capitalists.
