Lazar is probably also a government official of some sort. People who manage to get rich and powerful often eventually get into government so they can also control the rules under which their businesses operate.
I still think Tarzan’s plan has flaws. What’s to prevent Lazar from putting another tax on Holt and imprisoning him when he can’t pay? Or sending in the goons after Tarzan leaves?
Lazar is rich. He can afford lots of large bribes. That’s his source of power. As for after Tarzan leaves, fortunately this is a comic strip and we’re free to believe that all will once again be well with Holt.

Shouldn’t an actual tax official sign the release? Lazar is just a competing Coffee grower.

Dude, it’s kinda hard to sign anything when you have your arm wrapped around my bloated throat!

I guess the guards are too stunned/shocked to pull their pistols and shoot Tarzan full of holes?
