Jacopo Bonilla was right when he said that Americans’ own prosecutors do not have such rights. Sirio Reich also studied American prosecutors after receiving this information. official system.
U.S. prosecutors are more likely to file lawsuits in court on behalf of prosecutors in criminal cases, rather than directly launching investigations against senior government officials as he said now.
The highest-level federal prosecutor in the United States is the Attorney General appointed by the President of the United States. Therefore, the power of the U.S. prosecutor is originally limited to the powers of the President.
This is why some American presidents have been assassinated, but have never been investigated and sent to prison. Of course, this convention has been broken by someone.
Is this really because the presidents of the United States are very clean? Of course not, it’s just that everyone tacitly abides by this rule.
After hearing what Jacob Bonilla said, Silio Reich couldn't help but reveal a slightly sarcastic smile and said:
"How could the Americans let such a loophole that can obviously be exploited by someone with ulterior motives exist? But our Brazil is not their United States, and this loophole is the best tool for them to control our Brazil.
Of course they must try their best to help us promote this law. "
"Are they so sure that we, the Brazilian prosecutors, will follow their orders and cause chaos in the political situation of our own country?"
The answer to this question actually already existed in Jacob Bonnilla's mind, but he still couldn't help but want to defend the prosecutor.
After hearing what he said, Sirio Leitch just smiled and did not expose it. He just followed his words and said:
"Mr. Bonnilla, you have to understand that human nature is complicated. Some people seek fame, some seek wealth, and some seek peace of mind.
All you can ensure is that you will not be incited by the Americans, but what about others? "
Hearing this, Jacob Bonilla felt a little blushing. He understood that Sirio Leitch was deliberately flattering him by saying this. He was not sure that he would not be incited by the Americans. If they are incited by Americans, what else can they say?
Just like what he thought before, launch an investigation into the president! What a huge achievement this is, who can easily refuse such a temptation? Therefore, he knew very well that as long as the prosecutors had such power and the time was right, they would definitely use it without hesitation.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the Intelligence Bureau officer opposite.
"Since you know the Americans' plans in advance, can't you inform the prosecutor's office to refuse such a study invitation?"
Silio Leitch smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“We are allies with the Americans, and they have extended such an invitation to us. Why do you think the Department of Justice has any reason to refuse?
But will this expose the source of our intelligence? That is, after the Americans’ official invitations fail, won’t they invite them through private channels?
This is a conspiracy. Once we refuse, it means that we have to prepare to decouple from the Americans. If this is the case, how do you think the Americans will deal with it?
What do these pro-American factions in Brazil think? Will the government be directly impeached and removed from office? "
Hearing this, Jacopo Bonnilla was speechless for a moment. I have to say that unless Brazil is ready to be at odds with the United States, it would be hard for them to directly reject this seemingly normal thing. invitation.
After picking up the tea in front of him and drinking it in one gulp, Jacob Bonnilla said slightly dejectedly:
"In this case, why are you looking for me? Can I, a little prosecutor, solve the problem that you can't solve?"
Seeing him taking the initiative to bring up this topic, Sirio Leitch smiled with satisfaction and said:
"It depends on whether you are willing to make sacrifices for our country."
"Is it possible for me to refuse now?"
"You are a Brazilian citizen. We have the power to invite you to join the operation, but we do not have the power to force you to join, so of course you can refuse our invitation."
Upon hearing this, Jacob Bonilla glanced at Silio Reich in surprise. He did not expect to get such an answer.
"Then if I really refuse this invitation, what are you going to do with me?"
Obviously, Jacob Bonilla is very sober in his heart, but he knows that once some secrets are known, there will definitely be a corresponding price to pay, but he doesn't know whether this price is something he can afford.
"We will look for another prosecutor who is willing to cooperate with our action plan. Of course, for confidentiality reasons, you need to leave your current location and live with us in a secret place for a period of time until the end of this plan and you can be allowed to return. return."
Sirio Leitch's tone was very plain, but there was no doubt that there was no luck on the intelligence front. Some people might say that let Jacob Bonilla sign a confidentiality agreement, and then conduct round-the-clock surveillance on him. Place him under residential surveillance to prevent him from leaking secrets.
But this is simply unrealistic. Not to mention how much energy the Intelligence Bureau needs to spend for this purpose. Even if the Intelligence Bureau has the energy to monitor him around the clock, it cannot maintain absolute confidentiality. After all, he comes into contact with so many people every day. Who can Do you know if there will be any accidents in the middle?
Therefore, the best option is to put him under house arrest.
When Jacob Bonnilla heard this expected answer, he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. If this was the case, he would be separated from his newborn child. He was unwilling to accept such an arrangement.
What's more, deep in his heart, he still has a patriotic complex as a Brazilian. He simply cannot watch the Americans carry out such a vicious plan against his motherland.
After thinking for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said:
"What do you need from me?"
Hearing this, Silio Leitch also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The other party could take the initiative to take over this task, and he understood something.
After pouring the other party another cup of tea with a smile on his face, he lowered his voice and explained to the other party. This conversation lasted until past midnight.
When Jacob Bonnilla returned home, everyone in the family was already asleep. But for him, he couldn't sleep tonight, and he was not even in the mood to take another look at his son beside him. He stared blankly at the roof all night.
As expected, half a month later, the U.S. Department of Justice sent an invitation to a legal seminar to the Brazilian Ministry of Justice. The invitation was very implicit, as if it was just an invitation to an ordinary law society gathering.
But when some relevant people from the Brazilian Ministry of Justice returned to Brazil after attending this seminar, they submitted an application to send Brazilian prosecutors to the United States to learn the most advanced prosecutorial concepts.
This application caused quite a stir in the Brazilian Ministry of Justice. Many serving Brazilian prosecutors heard that they could go to the United States to study, and they all tried their best to squeeze in.
Finally, after fierce competition, more than 100 outstanding prosecutors across the country successfully obtained tickets to participate in the study. And Jacopo Bonnilla is one of them.
This study was arranged at Harvard Law School, the most famous school in the United States. The teaching staff were all famous professors in the law school. The content of the study was also related legal knowledge from the Anglo-American legal system. This is similar to Jacob Bonnilla. Completely different from what was expected.
Just when he had some doubts about whether there was an error in the information obtained by the Brazilian Intelligence Agency, the monitor of this study class knocked on his door.
"Hey... Prosecutor Bonilla, there is a party in the law school banquet hall at six o'clock tonight. All Brazilian colleagues who are participating in this study are invited. Don't forget to attend on time!"
When Jacob Bonilla heard this, his eyes moved and he asked curiously:
"Oh! There's also a party, who organized it?"
"It seems to be organized by the dean of the law department. I heard that the federal prosecutor from the United States will also participate."
The monitor replied with a somewhat proud smile.
Hearing this, Jacob Bonilla nodded and said with a smile on his face:
"No problem, I will definitely attend on time."
When the other party knocked on the door next door, Jacob Bonnilla's expression slowly calmed down when he returned to the room. I thought to myself that it seemed that the Americans' plan was about to be implemented.
As expected, as he expected, in addition to the prosecutors from Brazil, there were also some colleagues who looked very professional, and many beautiful young girls.
The U.S. government did send federal prosecutors from this jurisdiction to participate. But this guy just showed his face and left in a hurry.
At this party, all prosecutors from Brazil received an invitation to the small legal seminar society at Harvard Law School. As expected everyone took an active part in the society.
In the following time, after everyone finished studying at Harvard Law School, they would attend meetings organized by this society every night.
The content of the rally was initially focused on discussing the differences and content of Brazilian and American laws. After more than a week of discussion, an American member suddenly talked about the corruption problem in the Brazilian government and asked the Brazilian prosecutors present if they had any what idea.
At first, all the Brazilian prosecutors felt a little embarrassed, but later, after someone took the initiative to express their thoughts, everyone's discussion slowly began to get out of hand.
What was originally a purely academic discussion began to turn into criticism and reflection on the Brazilian legal system, and then naturally began to discuss how to change the current situation in Brazil.
The original study time of a whole day has been adjusted to a whole morning, and the club activities every evening have been directly advanced to every afternoon and evening.
Under the guidance of thoughtful people, the direction of the discussion is slowly developing towards expanding the power of Brazilian prosecutors, allowing prosecutors to be separated from the Brazilian judicial system and become representatives of social welfare forces with independent administrative and law enforcement powers.
This silent change in moisturizing did not arouse the vigilance of Brazilian prosecutors at all. On the contrary, everyone has very heated discussions, and everyone often even quarrels with each other over a concept.
It is not that there are no sober people among these classmates, for example, Jacopo Bonilla is one of them. Looking at these classmates who were arguing with red faces, he felt no passion at all, but only a cold fear all over his body.
Of course, Jacopo Bonnilla can't act too unique. Occasionally, he will participate in discussions along everyone's topics to enhance his sense of existence.
But he spent more time communicating with the American members of these societies. After nearly half a month of communication, the American members of these societies became very familiar with him.
He even got along well with some of them, and he often invited them out for dinner alone. Gradually, he became good friends with these American members, and he also had a rough idea of the basic situation of these people.
Just before the last week of this exchange study, Jacopo Bonnilla quietly slipped out of the school on the weekend. In a cafe two streets away from the school, he met a Brazilian intelligence officer. The reporter he arranged.
"Mr. Jacopo Bonnilla, my friend told me that you have big news to break to me. Is it true?"
A middle-aged white man with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing glasses and looking somewhat unkempt, looked at Jacob Bonnilla expectantly.
Jacob Bonnilla knew the identity of the person opposite him. He was a well-known freelance writer in the United States. He made a living by finding some explosive news and selling it to newspapers for publication.
This guy has a wide range of channels. As long as there is news, he will not miss it. If there is any big news that many big newspapers dare not report, he can also find some media that are not particularly big to report it.
He looked around nervously, and when he saw that no one seemed to be paying attention to him, Jacob Bonilla lowered his voice and said:
"Yes, I do have a super explosive news on my hands, but I'm not sure you dare to report it."
Hearing this, a flash of excitement flashed in the eyes of the guy opposite, like a shark smelling blood, he licked his lips and said:
"Hehe... Jacopo Bonnilla, don't worry! There is no news that I, Morez Hadley, dare not report. Tell me, is it a tidbit that the president secretly ate, or is it another crime that the government wants to hide? "
Seeing the excitement of the guy opposite, Jacob Bonnilla understood why the Intelligence Bureau recommended this guy to him.
“How much benefit can I gain if my news breaks big enough?”
When Morets Hadley heard this, instead of being angry, he showed a smile. He knew very well that the other party was willing to talk about money, which was the best news for him.
In fact, he doesn't care much about money. What he wants is to expose some of the dark sides of society and the mistakes of the government, and even explore the privacy of big shots. Then make these public.
This is an almost perverted and irrepressible morbid exposure addiction. If he knew some big news and didn't report it, he would feel uncomfortable all over and have trouble sleeping and eating.
In order to satisfy this mentality, he often pays high information fees to obtain a big news. Sometimes the information fees cannot be recovered at all.
But he was able to gain unprecedented satisfaction after the news was reported. Therefore, in order to get big news, he never mind negotiating money with information providers.
