Lawyer

Chapter 774 Honesty is very important

"Well, I don't think the client will come to us in this case. If the other party asks, you'd better tell the other party the truth. We can't plead not guilty in this case." Fang Yi said seriously.

Secretary Wu nodded in agreement.

Fang Yi took out 1 yuan from the paper bag containing cash and handed it to him: "This is today's labor fee, and I will give you 20.00%."

"Lawyer Fang, if this case continues, I will still have to tell you about the fee if you don't mention it. But the 5 yuan is your labor fee, so I don't want it. We have a long life in Japan, so there is no need to worry about it." Secretary Wu shied away road.

Seeing that the other party was not pretending to evade, Fang Yi collected the money, and proposed to find a place to buy Secretary Wu a drink. The latter readily accepted, and he contacted him for a long time. No labor fee, and a meal is still appropriate.

This is what Secretary Wu is good at, and the division is very clear. The small money should not be for maintaining the relationship, and the big money should not be less, because it is deserved.It's a bit of a thief and a way.

To be honest, Secretary Wu felt a little regretful. According to Fang Yi, this case must be hopeless.In fact, Mr. Liu's gentle assistant did not contact him again, but contacted Fat Lawyer's recommender, and reached an entrustment agreement with Fat Lawyer.

Half a year later, Secretary Wu suddenly heard that the colleague who recommended Fat Lawyer to Mr. Liu was no longer in the industry. After inquiring, he found out that the result of the case was far from what Fat Lawyer predicted.

Mr. Liu suspected that the recommender and the fat lawyer partnered to defraud him of money, and spread the news in the circle. The recommender who got involved was not a human being, and was labeled as unreliable.

Later, the recommender wanted to refund the money to Mr. Liu out of his own pocket, and talk about reconciliation, but he was ignored at all. As you can imagine, the recommender's good dog-licking career came to an end.

Secretary Wu was curious as to what kind of verdict would make Mr. Liu resort to such ruthless measures to directly cut off his colleagues' fortune, so he found the verdict and saw the following content:

The court held that the defendant Liu Yeming recruited and controlled many people to engage in prostitution activities for the purpose of making profits. His behavior constituted the crime of organizing prostitution and should be severely punished according to law.Defendant Liu Yeming's defense that his behavior did not constitute a crime, and his defender's defense that selling Y does not include X transactions between men cannot be established.

According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, the crime of organizing prostitution refers to the act of controlling and managing multiple people engaged in prostitution by means of recruiting, hiring, luring, and sheltering; the "others" in organizing others to prostitute mainly refer to women, including men .

The defendant, Liu Yeming, organized "public relations personnel" to trade money with X for the purpose of making profits. Although the transaction was conducted between people of the same sex, this behavior was also an act of selling Y, which also hindered the social security management order and destroyed the good Therefore, Liu Yeming's behavior met the conditions for organizing the crime of prostitution.

Accordingly, in accordance with Article 358 and Article 60 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, the judgment is as follows:

5. Defendant Liu Yeming committed the crime of organizing the sale of Y and was sentenced to eight years in prison and a fine of RMB [-].

[-]. The defendant Liu Yeming's illegal gains of [-] yuan shall be recovered.

After the judgment of the first instance, the defendant Liu Yeming refused to accept it and appealed.The court of second instance ruled: the appeal was dismissed and the original judgment was upheld.

Secretary Wu went to Fang Yi for consultation with the verdict. Fang Yi told him that he would be sentenced to eight years in prison. decimal.

Secretary Wu thought, Mr. Liu hated the fat lawyer and the recommender so much, it was probably not just the nephew who was sentenced to eight years in prison, but also the more than 2000 million yuan that was recovered.

Secretary Wu was really a little scared. After Fang Yi said that the case was hopeless, he really thought about finding another criminal lawyer and making an appointment with Mr. Liu alone. Now it seems... no matter what line of work, integrity is very important.

Of course, this is all for later. At present, Secretary Wu is still a little entangled in his heart.

At 09:30 the next morning, Fang Yi walked briskly into the law firm.Just in time, Meng Guangda wiped the sweat from his head with a small towel while walking into the law firm. The few remaining hairs on the top of his head were stuck to his scalp with sweat, and he looked quite embarrassed.

"Lawyer Meng, where are you going? Why are you so sweaty?" Fang Yi looked at him and asked curiously.

"Hey, don't mention it. I was notified that the trial will start today, but when I arrived at the court, the clerk told me that the defendant had an acute appendicitis attack last night and was hospitalized, so the trial will not be held. It was a waste of time." Meng Guangda folded a small towel, Side explained.

"Oh, then why are you in a hurry. You're sweating so much." Fang Yi nodded.

"Yun Qiao told me that Lawyer Xie has another criminal case, which he signed just this morning..." Meng Guangda smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, Lawyer Meng, if you want to make money, you should also pay attention to your body. Take it easy." Fang Yi smiled.

"Well, definitely, definitely." Meng Guangda nodded.

At ten o'clock, Shen Mingzhen, the client introduced by Yunmei, came.

Shen Mingzhen is in her 40s. She looks elegant and well-dressed. She belongs to the kind of woman who looks dignified and majestic.

According to Yunmei, Shen Mingzhen runs a jewelry store and usually likes to drink tea very much. She once learned tea art from her for a period of time, and the two have a good relationship.

"Lawyer Fang, since you are Mr. Yun's friend, I'll just tell you what I have to say. I came to you this time mainly because of my younger brother Shen Mingyuan. He was arrested a while ago." Shen Mingzhen spoke casually. Slow, the rhythm is well controlled, and it doesn't seem impatient at all.

"What crime is your brother suspected of?" Fang Yi asked.

"Suspected of money laundering. I don't know much about money laundering, so I want to ask you about my brother's case." Shen Mingzhen said with a confused face.

"Can you tell me about the specific case?" Fang Yi asked.

"I don't know much about this, so I can't tell you what happened specifically. I only know that he worked for a boss, and I don't know how it happened. He suddenly became the chairman of the company, and then he was arrested. " Shen Mingzhen shook her head.

"Well, Article 191 of the "Criminal Law" stipulates that in order to cover up and conceal the income of drug crimes, organized crimes of the underworld nature, terrorist activities, smuggling, corruption and bribery, crimes of disrupting financial management order, and financial fraud crimes and the proceeds generated Those who commit any of the following acts shall be confiscated of the proceeds from the above crimes and the proceeds thereof, and shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and shall also be fined or only fined; if the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to not less than five years but ten years The following fixed-term imprisonment and fine:
