After Kepel had left, David's phone on the desk rang. He picked it up to see it was Donald calling and immediately answered, "Deputy Director Donald."
"David, the Amazon incident has been very influential, and major media moguls have put a lot of pressure on us. We've decided at the headquarters to let the media in this time, let them see our fair and open punishment!"
In the past, the Internal Revenue Service did not allow media access to court hearings because many cases were difficult to convict under judicial procedures, to avoid causing public controversy, thus opting for closed trials.
However, this time, just the issue of hidden taxes alone was enough to nail the Amazon Group, so conducting the trial publicly is more favorable for the IRS in terms of both image and public opinion.
"Understood, I'll arrange it right away!"
After hanging up the phone, David immediately got Kepel involved and instructed, "Spread the word to the media, this trial will be broadcast live!"
