The problem of officialdom cannot be solved until the 21st century. In this era, it is a chronic disease that is ubiquitous.
In fact, relatively speaking, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Defense are doing better. After all, Roque and Henry are rich and have completed the primitive accumulation of capital. There is no need to harm the public and enrich private interests. Their reputation in this regard is still good.
The Ministry of Education has a big problem. Under the leadership of Yang Smuts, most of the staff in the Ministry of Education are Boers. As minister, Yang Smuts has an annual salary of 5,000 pounds, so he can still keep himself clean.
, officials or staff from Yang Shimozi onwards have shown their talents and are full of tricks in making money.
So Louis Botta is really worried. The problem of Daniel Huggins is probably just the tip of the iceberg. If someone is interested and follows the clues, then maybe the Ministry of Education will become a nest case. Even if Yang Shimo Capital is here
There's no problem with it, but I'm afraid I can't stay out of it.
So when Louis Botta asked this question, Yang Smooth's expression was very ugly, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Louis Botta was not in a hurry, and sat quietly opposite Yang Smozi, waiting for Yang Smozi's answer.
"Louis, I don't know how serious the situation is." After all, Yang Smuts did not dare to answer Louis Botta's question head-on.
It should be noted here that the Ministry of Education is not located in Bloemfontein, but in Pretoria.
As the political capital of the federal government and the seat of the Transvaal state, prices in Pretoria are still a bit high, and it is not easy to live a decent life in Pretoria.
Compared with the real power departments such as the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Education is basically a Qingshui Yamen. Although the salary status of all departments is similar, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of National Defense will have some benefits every now and then, and they usually have more bonuses and subsidies.
In fact, by comparison, the income of staff in the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of National Defense is almost double that of staff in the Ministry of Education.
This is really hard for the staff of the Ministry of Education to accept. Everyone is serving the federal government, so why is there such an obvious gap in income?
"Gianni, be prepared, I'm afraid the Ministry of Education will not pass easily this time." Louis Botha had already foreseen that there would be a violent storm, and now it is about to come.
While Louis Botta and Young Smoots were discussing countermeasures, the trial of Daniel Huggins by the Department of Justice was underway.
The trial of Daniel Huggins was overseen by independent prosecutor Elliott Field.
Elliot Field was previously a well-known lawyer in Cape Town. After the federal government's Ministry of Justice was established, Henry invited Elliot Field to become one of the three independent prosecutors in the Ministry of Justice.
In Southern Africa, the independent prosecutor has great powers. He can investigate and prosecute illegal and criminal acts of senior national administrative officials. He has the power to use unlimited financial resources and unlimited time to investigate cases until the truth is found.
In order to ensure the rights of the independent prosecutor, the Ministry of Justice specifically stipulates that if there is no extremely serious misconduct in the work of the independent prosecutor, physical disability, loss of intelligence or other circumstances that actually impair the performance of the independent prosecutor's duties, the independent prosecutor shall
Officials may not be removed from their posts midway.
Therefore, even Louis Botha and Yang Smuts cannot have an influence on the independent prosecutor.
After Daniel Huggins was taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs police, he was sent directly to August Prison in the west of Pretoria, and then the interrogation of Daniel Huggins began in full swing.
However, Daniel Huggins was extremely uncooperative. Apart from telling his name and position, he avoided answering the facts about his crimes.
Before the criminal facts of Daniel Huggins were ascertained, Daniel Huggins was still a senior official of the federal government, so the torture methods in August Prison were not applicable to Daniel Huggins, and Elliot Field only
Can use fatigue tactics to try to get Daniel Huggins to confess the facts of the crime as soon as possible.
After another interrogation ended, senior prosecutor Andy Huslett walked out of the interrogation room with a sullen face.
Assistant Prosecutor Ignatz did not even need to ask about the result. He said hello to Andy Huslett, walked into the interrogation room with the torture record book, and continued the fatigue bombardment of Daniel Huggins.
"No result?" Elliott Field is ready for a protracted battle.
"No, this guy refuses to give in. Apart from telling his name and position at the beginning, he didn't say a word after that. If you ask me, I'd better punish him, otherwise this guy won't tell the truth." Andy Huslett
Outraged, in order to get Daniel Huggins to speak, the six prosecutors took turns to use fatigue tactics against Daniel Huggins. The interrogation has been going on for twelve hours now. Although Daniel Huggins is exhausted, the prosecutors
It’s also mentally and physically exhausted.
"Wait a minute, the interrogation has been going on for twelve hours now. I want to see how long this guy can last. Go back and rest first. I will arrange for Randall and Harry to take your place." Elliot Field also
It was time to get off work, but Elliot Field still had to stick to the scene. He would not rest until he got Daniel Huggins' confession.
Daniel Huggins had indeed reached the brink of collapse. During the twelve hours of continuous interrogation, the prosecutors were constantly rotating, but Daniel Huggins had no time to rest.
By the time Gnartz handed over the job, Daniel Huggins was already drowsy.
I'm still snoring, but I don't know what I'm dreaming about.
Ignaz walked into the interrogation room and saw Daniel Huggins who had fallen into a coma. He smiled at each other with Assistant Prosecutor Charles, then closed the door gently, and tiptoed to the side of Daniel Huggins.
Jins yelled in his ear: "Wake up, this is not your bedroom!"
"I'll just f***" Daniel Huggins was shaking violently like a dog whose tail was stepped on in his sleep. It took him a long time to see clearly the Ignatz in front of him, and then he yelled angrily.
Ignaz was in a happy mood after being scolded. Although Daniel Huggins had to block his scolding words, this was the first time that Daniel Huggins spoke his name and position since the trial of Daniel Huggins began.
something other than.
So Ignaz acted very casually and threw the record book in his hand on the table in front of him. Ignaz had no time to light a cigar, put his feet up on the table, and looked at Daniel Huggins.
With contemptuous eyes: "It's up to you. Even if you don't speak, it's no problem. Your colleagues and subordinates are being interrogated next door. Even if you don't speak, as long as your colleagues and subordinates can prove that you violated the laws of the federal government, we will
We can still take you to court, but your sentence will be very severe. Let me think about it, how many years of rebellion will it take to accept a bribe?"
At this time, Charles brought Ignaz hot coffee. He was also ready for a protracted war. He also answered the call casually: "To accept a bribe of more than one thousand pounds, it must be more than three years and seven years."
A fixed-term imprisonment of not more than 10 years, and if it causes huge losses to the federal government, other responsibilities will also be investigated, and the person concerned will be fined three times or more."
The prosecutor must be very familiar with the relevant provisions, and Ignatz was just showing off.
"Listen, this is only a thousand pounds. As the director of the Basic Education Department of the Ministry of Education, your annual salary is almost a thousand pounds. Gee, this salary is much higher than our salary." Igner
He keenly noticed that Daniel Huggins was staring directly at the coffee in front of him, and he seemed to want to have a cup too.
"Your annual salary is 850 pounds, and mine is only 400 pounds. No, we will use rands in the future. Director Huggins, have you seen the rands? This is our federal government's own currency. Do you want it?"
Take a look? Otherwise, after ten years, you may finally leave prison and you don’t even know the currency in circulation. That would be really sad.” Charles added with jealousy and took out a gold coin just issued by Rand Bank.
Show it to Daniel Huggins.
Then he put it in his pocket again.
"Your annual salary is only 400 pounds, but don't think I don't know. You bastard also has a vineyard and a winery in the Cape, and a farm in Pretoria. Your real annual income is higher than mine."
"More." Ignaz and Charles were chatting, with their attention focused on Daniel Huggins. No matter how lively Ignaz and Charles chatted, Daniel Huggins could not be allowed to sleep under any circumstances.
This is similar to a hunter cooking an eagle.
"Come on, you don't have a farm in Bechuanaland yet. My farm is only 500 acres. Your farm area is ten times that of mine, so your income should be ten times higher than mine." Charles continued to stimulate Daniel Ha.
Kings, obviously relying on normal methods, can make a lot of money as a federal official, but he violates the law and discipline. This cannot be blamed on the prosecutors for being unkind.
"Can you give me a cup of coffee too?" Daniel Huggins suddenly said.
Ignaz and Charles looked at each other, and both could see the ecstasy in each other's eyes.
"Of course, as long as you cooperate, I guarantee that you will be pardoned by the law." Charles immediately sent the coffee over and thoughtfully opened the handcuffs on Daniel Huggins' right hand.
In order to prevent the suspect from harming himself, during interrogation, the suspect's hands are always handcuffed to the armrests of the chair in the interrogation room.
Daniel Huggins drank the coffee calmly, then raised his head and smiled gently at Ignaz and Charles, and uttered a few words contemptuously: "Fuck you!"
