Lawyer

Chapter 377
"The defendant Yun Qi is your son?" Fang Yi asked after seeing a criminal verdict.

"Yes, I found a local lawyer before, but the court of first instance convicted my son of misappropriating funds and sentenced him to three years in prison. We plan to ask a lawyer to appeal." Yun Zhenxing said.

"Do you understand the specific facts of the case?" Fang Yi asked as he flipped through the verdict.

"I don't know much about it. My son is the party secretary in the village. He rarely tells me what he does." Yun Zhenxing said.

"Well, how long has it been since you got the verdict?" Fang Yi asked.

"It's been five days." Yun Zhenxing said.

"The appeal period is only ten days, counting from the day after you received the criminal judgment, have you appealed yet?" Fang Yi was startled and asked hastily.

If the other party did not file an appeal, then the time left for him is only five days, and the appeal procedure must be started as soon as possible, otherwise the first-instance judgment will take effect.

"I already mentioned it. It was the appeal letter written by the previous lawyer for free. The last document is the appeal letter. The lawyer said that there is little hope for the second trial, so I want to find another lawyer to defend my son." Yun Zhenxing said .

Fang Yi dug out the appeal statement and glanced at it. The reason for the appeal was written very simply, "The original sentence was too heavy."

"Mr. Yun, judging from the available materials, I have limited information about the case. I want to meet with your son first, and then go to the court to review the files. If there is a breakthrough in this case, I will talk to you about the entrustment. What do you think?" Fang Yi asked.

Fang Yi didn't dare to make a big deal, he took the money, and in the end he couldn't get things done, not only ruined his reputation, but also had to refund the money, he didn't want to offend Yunmei.

"No problem. When can you go to meet?" Yun Zhenxing was anxious, wishing that Fang Yi could meet with Fang Yi in the afternoon after signing the agreement today.

"Let's go through the formalities today. I'll go there after I've made an appointment with the detention center and the court in the next two days. However, it will take a while for the first-instance case file to be transferred to the second-instance court. Don't worry, I will call you before I go. The lawyer's fee is 1 yuan Yuan. If the case is entrusted later, this fee can be included in the lawyer's fee.

Of course, the travel expenses have to be counted separately, and it shouldn't cost me much to drive there. "Fang Yi said.

"Okay, I'll arrange the meals. If you need accommodation, tell me, and I'll book a hotel for you." Yun Zhenxing nodded and said, "Can I sign the contract now?"

Yun Zhenxing readily agreed to Fang Yi's request because of his trust in Yunmei.In his opinion, Yunmei started a company outside to make a lot of money. She knows many people and is more reliable. She must know many reliable lawyers. Since her niece recommends the middle-aged male lawyer in front of her, it means that this person can letter.

Half an hour later, Zhou Ying took the signed entrustment procedures and followed Fang Yi to send Yun Zhenxing and Yunmei away.After sending Yunmei away, Fang Yi began to contact the court of second instance and the detention center to make an appointment.

Driving back and forth across provinces is not an easy job. It is best not to make two trips if it can be done once. This is Fang Yi's true idea, so he first called the court of second instance to check the transfer of case files.If it takes too long, he doesn't mind meeting at the detention center first.

Three days later, in the detention center in a small county below YQ City, Jin Province, Fang Yi looked at a man with a cropped head and wearing a vest in the detention center. This man was Yunmei's older brother and Yun Zhenxing's son Yun Qi.

Yun Qi is tall and big, with a burly figure and a beer belly, like a pregnant woman who is five or six months pregnant.Even though he was imprisoned in the detention center, Fang Yi could still feel a domineering aura from him, and he could tell from his face that he was not easy to talk to.

"You are Yun Qi?" Fang Yi asked.

"Yes, who are you?" Yun Qi asked.

Fang Yi took out the entrustment procedures from his briefcase and handed it over: "I am Fang Yi, a lawyer from Wanhua United Law Firm, Yun Zhenxing, do you know him?"

"Well, his father." Yun Qi said.

"Yun Zhenxing entrusted me to meet. This is the entrustment procedure. If you have no objection, please sign." Fang Yi said.

"You are a lawyer from Ji Province. My father found you?" Yun Qi handed over the entrustment procedures after signing, and looked at Fang Yi suspiciously.

"Yunmei first looked for me, and after I met your father, I commissioned it." Fang Yi explained.

"Well, it's been so many years... I didn't expect her to help me." After a moment of silence, Yun Qi said, "It's all about the older generation, and it should be over long ago. Lawyer Fang, help me bring her a In other words, it was my fault that I hit her father back then. I apologize to her! After I go out, I will go to her house to apologize."

"Okay, I'll definitely bring it with you. Our time is limited, so please tell me what happened. The court of second instance will probably arrange a hearing soon." Fang Yi said
"Well, this matter has to start from June [-]..." Yun Qi thought about it for a while, and recounted the past.

In 25, Yun Qi was serving as the party secretary of the village, and this was the most glorious time of his life.In June of that year, under his operation, the village committee transferred the wasteland in the village to Zhao Tingyu, who came to invest locally, at a price of 15 yuan.After the village paid compensation to the villagers, the remaining 3000 yuan was left.

In January 15, under the instructions of Yun Qi, the village accountant used [-] yuan of the proceeds from the above-mentioned transfer of wasteland to become a shareholder of a small local coal mine in Yun Qi's name.At that time, Yun Qi was covering the sky with his hands in the village. Although some people in the village committee knew about his use of the money, no one dared to say anything.

In March 1, Yun Qi received his first dividend of [-] yuan from a small coal mine. He originally wanted to continue earning dividends, but a general election was about to take place. He suddenly heard that someone was going to punish him for embezzling public funds. Get him out of power.

So in October [-], Yunqi called together the members of the village committee and transferred his shares in small coal mines to the village collective in the form of meeting minutes. Muddle through.

Last year, on the eve of the general election, someone suddenly reported to the public security organ that Yun Qi had embezzled village collective funds.

Yun Qi's misappropriation of funds is a matter of obvious lice on the bald man's head, but Yun Qi didn't expect it to explode so soon.He thought he had given the members of the village committee a lot of benefits, and everyone would turn a blind eye, but who knew that things would happen to his most trusted village accountant.

After being imprisoned for more than three months, the county court opened a court hearing to hear the case, and finally found that Yun Qi embezzled funds, and the amount was relatively large and would not be refunded, which constituted the crime of embezzlement of funds. The judgment was:

[-]. Defendant Yun Qi committed the crime of embezzling funds and was sentenced to three years in prison;
15. To order the defendant Yun Qi to refund [-] collective funds misappropriated by the village collective, within [-] days after the judgment takes effect;

1. The [-] yuan of illegal income of the defendant Yun Qi shall be recovered in accordance with the law and turned over to the state treasury.
