Attorney General Marcus Rosso strode in, flanked by two aides carrying stacks of documents.

A hush fell over the room as Russo made his way to the podium. He nodded to Mario, who stepped aside to allow him to address the chamber.

"Honorable members of Parliament," Russo began, his deep voice carrying easily through the room. "I know you have many questions. I'm here to provide answers and to present evidence of crimes so severe that they threaten the very foundations of our democracy." He paused, his eyes sweeping across the chamber. "President Edward Ricardo is the head of the criminal organization known as the Twelve Guns."

The silence that followed was deafening. For a moment, it seemed as if the entire chamber had collectively held its breath. Then, all at once, pandemonium broke loose.

"Preposterous!"

"This is a coup!"

""Where's your proof?"

Rosso held up his hands, waiting for the shouting to subside. "I understand your skepticism. Such an accusation is unprecedented. But the evidence is irrefutable."

He nodded to his aides, who began distributing packets to the parliamentarians. "In front of you, you'll find financial records showing millions of dollars funneled from known Twelve Guns operations into offshore accounts controlled by President Ricardo. You'll also find transcripts of wiretapped conversations in which the President discusses Twelve Guns operations using code words we've now decrypted."
