Chapter 258 Justice(2/2)
You can live happily into your old age even if you follow the wizarding law.
Whether they are bribing Ministry of Magic officials or hiding in their own luxurious residences that no one knows about, most illegal pure-blood wizards are still living well until now.
And these people have become the targets of the Wizards United Guards.
In just a few weeks, starting with Jobs Aiken of the Aiken family, wizards were being arrested in every country in Europe that had established a joint wizarding guard office.
Most of these wizards are pure-blood wizards, and they break the law for various reasons. They attack Muggles, smuggle contraband, brew banned drugs, and conduct black magic experiments. Their criminal records were all over a few years ago, more than ten years ago, or even longer ago.
Was turned out.
This evidence comes from the testimonies of some of the victims at the time, and also from the confessions of some former Ministry of Magic officials who had accepted bribes. In short, in a short period of time, the entire wizarding world was in a state of chaos.
In the past, those high-ranking pure-blood wizards were searched and arrested one by one by members of the escort team, and even wizards with solid evidence of guilt were thrown into prison.
The wizarding world fell into a strange atmosphere. Those pure-blood families who were usually wealthy and powerful fell silent one by one, while the more numerous ordinary wizards cheered and applauded.
There is really an official organization that has begun to change this deformed social class. They have seen the vigorous and resolute actions of the Guards and the selflessness of the Guards. This makes ordinary wizards excited - they can even punish pure-blood wizards!
Of course, people who care have seen more.
In today's wizarding world, the wealth of pure-blood families spreads throughout society, and their relationships and connections are like tangled vines tied to the entire wizarding world.
In such a short period of time, so many wizards of the same level in the past were arrested. Normally, pure-blood wizards would at least be a little sad, right?
After all, no pure-blood family can guarantee that they or any of their relatives have not done anything illegal, nor can they guarantee whether the next knife will fall on their head.
Under such circumstances, such a big move by the Wizards United Guards did not cause any backlash?
From Sean's point of view, this is something very abnormal.
On the surface, the Wizards United Guards are engaged in social security matters, but to put it bluntly, the Guards are almost reforming - they are touching the cake that has been owned by the pure-blood family for thousands of years, and they are weakening the pure-blood family.
Power and wealth passed down from generation to generation.
How could it go so smoothly... This was Sean's first thought.
If there were constant protests and other activities by pure-blood families, then he could understand it, but Sean got the news from Bella and Barty Jr. - with so many arrested pure-blood wizards, very few of their families
Someone comes to intercede or put pressure.
It's like it's been discussed long ago...
Of course, the UK is an exception in this case.
Of course, accountability for past cases is also on the agenda, but the British wizarding world seems to be out of tune with other countries. Except for a few kittens and puppies, nothing bigger has happened so far.
