Lawyer's character

"Well, I don't think the client will come to us in this case. If the other party asks, you'd better tell the truth to them. We can't defend this case without guilt." Fang Yi said seriously.

Secretary Wu nodded and agreed.

Fang Yi took out 10,000 yuan from the paper bag containing cash and handed it to him: "This is today's labor fee. I will give you 20%."

"Lawyer Fang, if this case continues, I will have to tell you about the fees even if you don't mention it. But the 50,000 yuan is your labor fee, so I don't want it. We have a long time in Japan, so there is no need to worry about these things." Secretary Wu shied away. road.

Seeing that the other party was not pretending to shirk, Fang Yi collected the money and suggested finding a place to treat Secretary Wu to a drink. The latter readily accepted the offer. After being contacted for a long time, he didn't want to pay for the service. It was still appropriate to treat him to a meal.

Secretary Wu is good at this. He makes the distinction very clearly. The small money should not be used to maintain the relationship. The big money will not be less, because it is deserved. It's a bit like thieves are also good.

To be honest, Secretary Wu felt a little regretful. According to Fang Yi, this case was definitely hopeless. In fact, Mr. Liu's gentle assistant did not contact him again. Instead, he contacted Fat Lawyer's recommender and reached a commission 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 circle. Later, when he inquired, he found out that the outcome of the case was very different from Fat Lawyer's prediction.

Mr. Liu suspected that the recommender and the fat lawyer had collaborated to defraud him of money, and spread the news in the circle. The recommender was not a human being inside and outside, and was labeled as unreliable.

Later, the recommender wanted to return the money to Mr. Liu out of his own pocket and negotiate a settlement, but he ignored him at all. As you can imagine, the recommender's good career as a dog licker came to an end.

Secretary Wu was curious about what kind of verdict would make Mr. Liu use such ruthless means to directly cut off his colleagues’ financial resources, 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 profit. His behavior constituted the crime of organizing prostitution and should be severely punished in accordance with the law. Defendant Liu Yeming's defense that his behavior did not constitute a crime and his defender's defense that selling Y did not include X transactions between men cannot be established.

According to the criminal law, the crime of organizing sex trafficking refers to the act of controlling and managing many people to sell sex by means of recruitment, employment, inducement, accommodation, etc. The "others" in organizing others to sell sex mainly refers to women, but also includes men. .

The defendant Liu Yeming organized "public relations personnel" to engage in money and sex transactions 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 sex, and it also hindered the social security management order and destroyed good society. Social customs, therefore Liu Yeming's behavior meets the conditions for the crime of organizing prostitution.

Accordingly, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 358 and 64 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, the verdict is as follows:

1. Defendant Liu Yeming was convicted of organizing Y-trafficking and was sentenced to eight years in prison and fined RMB 50,000.

2. Defendant Liu Yeming’s illegal income of 2,300 yuan shall be recovered.

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

Secretary Wu specifically consulted Fang Yi with the verdict. Fang Yi told him that he would be sentenced to eight years in prison. If he behaved well in prison, the sentence could be reduced. The fine of 50,000 yuan was not much, but the recovery of illegal gains of 23 million yuan was not a big deal. It's a decimal.

Secretary Wu thought that the reason why Mr. Liu hated the fat lawyer and the recommender so much was not only because his nephew was sentenced to eight years, but also because of the more than 20 million 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 which line of work, integrity is very important.

Of course, this is all for later. At present, Secretary Wu is still a little confused.

At nine-thirty the next morning, Fang Yi walked into the law firm with brisk steps. I happened to see Meng Guangda wiping the sweat on his head with a small towel while walking into the law firm. The few remaining hairs on his head were stuck to his scalp with sweat, and he looked quite embarrassed.

"Lawyer Meng, where have you been? Why are you sweating so much?" Fang Yi looked at him and asked curiously.

"Hey, don't mention it. I was notified that the court would be held 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. There will be no court session. It's a waste of time." Meng Guangda folded a small towel. While explaining.

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

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

"Oh, Lawyer Meng, you have to make money, but you also have to take care of your health. Take it easy." Fang Yi smiled.

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

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

Shen Mingzhen is in her forties. She looks very elegant and well-dressed. She is the kind of woman who looks dignified and majestic.

According to Yunmei, Shen Mingzhen runs a jewelry store and likes drinking tea very much. He once learned tea art from her for a period of time, and the relationship between the two is acceptable.

"Lawyer Fang, since you are Mr. Yun's friend, I will tell you directly if you have anything to say. I came to you this time mainly because of my brother Shen Mingyuan. He was arrested some time ago." Shen Mingzhen spoke calmly. 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 quite understand what money laundering is, so I want to ask you about my brother's case." Shen Mingzhen said with a confused look.

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

"I don't know much about this, so I can't tell you exactly what happened. I only know that he worked for a boss, and I don't know how. 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 for concealing and concealing drug crimes, organized crimes of a mafia nature, terrorist activities, smuggling crimes, corruption and bribery crimes, crimes that disrupt financial management order, and financial fraud crimes, As well as the source and nature of the income generated, whoever commits any of the following acts shall have the income from the above crimes and the income generated therefrom confiscated, and shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and shall also or solely be fined; if the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to: Fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined:

(1) Provide a capital account;

(2) Converting property into cash, financial instruments, or securities;

(3) Transferring funds through transfer or other payment and settlement methods;

(4) Cross-border transfer of assets;

(5) Use other methods to conceal or conceal criminal proceeds and the source and nature of the proceeds..."
