Chapter 445 - That's All It Takes
"I'm not here today to read the papers. Do you want to learn more about the case and ask about the stolen money, and all the embezzled company funds have really gone into the account of the live broadcast company? Fang Yi took a sip of tea and asked.
"We have checked, and the money has indeed been used for live broadcasting, we have checked the bank statements, and we have also gone to the live broadcast company to investigate. To be honest, it's hard to chase this money! Li Bin said.
Fang Yi had helped him before, and the two sides had some incense, so he still took good care of Fang Yi, and he would say anything directly, and he would not be official.
"Let me inquire again, do we have anything to say about the company's funds embezzled by the suspect?" Fang Yi asked.
"What can I say, it's all rewarded to the anchor, it's a legal transaction, I'm afraid it's hard to recover it. This is also the first time we have encountered such a case. What do you think on the Shengfeng Group's side? Li Bin flicked the cigarette ash in his hand and asked.
Shengfeng Group is a well-known enterprise in the county, and after the case, Li Bin was greeted by the above, and he must handle the case legally and compliantly and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the enterprise.
This is high-sounding, there is nothing wrong with it, its true meaning can only be understood but not spoken, Li Bin knows it in his heart, but the live broadcast company is in the city, not in the county, and has a certain background, it is not easy to do.
Everyone admits that the criminal suspect rewarded the anchor, and the money did go into the live broadcast company's account, but people want a legal basis, the other party's legal counsel is aggressive, Li Bin has a set of ways to deal with criminals, but against this kind of lawyer who wears a suit and tie, and has iron teeth and steel teeth, he is a little out of reach, and he is full of strength but can't make it.
Therefore, the money involved in the case has not been recovered until now, so Sister Lan had no choice but to ask Fang Yi for help, planning to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor and give it a try.
"I have a suggestion, you should take a look at this first." Fang Yi said and took out the copy of the case he had seen before and pushed it to Li Bin.
Fang Yi pondered that if the police could come forward and get the money back involved in the case, he would save a lot of trouble.
After Li Bin saw the case, he frowned and looked at Fang Yi: "This ...... Will it work? After all, it is not a case of our province. ”
Fang Yi understood what Li Bin meant, although the criminal cases handled by the public procuratorate and the law in each province follow the same "Criminal Law" and "Criminal Procedure Law", but the scale and caliber of adjudication in each province are different, and the fact that other provinces can make such a judgment does not mean that this province can also make such a judgment.
"If it doesn't work, you can give it a try." Fang Yi suggested.
"Well...... I don't think it's as good as this, anyway, this case is about to be transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution, so it's better for us to have an internal meeting and communicate first, and if we think it's okay, we will deal with it as stolen money.
If the bureau does not agree, I will transfer the case to the procuratorate, and you can communicate with the procuratorate to see if you can treat the live broadcast company's reward as stolen money. That's all I can do. Li Bin thought for a while.
Li Bin had previously reported to the above about the use of the embezzled funds of Shengfeng Group for rewarding, and the opinions of the above were not too unanimous.
Li Bin went to the live broadcast company, and the legal counsel of the live broadcast company proposed that the live broadcast company was operating legally, the criminal suspect's tipping was not illegal, and the rewarded funds were used to purchase services, and the anchor could not be clear about the origin of the funds, so it should be obtained in good faith and should not be recovered as stolen money.
So although Fang Yi provided a case, Li Bin is still not optimistic about this matter.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Fang Yi said.
On the afternoon of the fifth day after Fang Yi returned to the city, Li Bin called him and told him that the matter had not been resolved and that the case had been transferred to the procuratorate. Let him go to the procuratorate to communicate about the recovery of stolen money.
Fang Yi sighed, it could only be like this.
In Wanhua United Law Firm, Fang Yi was thinking about how to communicate with the prosecutor about the case of Shengfeng Group, and Zhou Ying sent him a WeChat message: Lawyer Fang, I just received a message from the case team, there is a criminal case named for you to undertake, do you want to take it?
Fang Yi replied after reading WeChat: Okay, send it over.
Why don't you make money if you have money, what he lacks now is money. But when he looked at the lawyer's fees, he was dumbfounded, it was only five thousand yuan!
After eating at noon, Xie Youhe met Fang Yi in the smoking room.
"Lao Fang, there is a criminal case in the morning that asks you to undertake it. I took the case. Xie Youhe said with a cigarette in his mouth: "Have you made an appointment with the party?" ”
"It's an appointment, and the party will come over at half past one in the afternoon." Fang Yi said: "Why are the lawyer's fees so small? ”
"In this case, the client's family is rural, not wealthy, and not qualified for legal aid, so I applied with the law firm, took the green channel, and gave a partial reduction of fees, so that the lawyer's fee would be so small.
The defendant in this case is very likely to be sentenced to death, and the family has read your information on the Internet and hopes that you can take over this case and save your life. Xie Youhe said.
"You promised the party?" Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: In a death penalty case, such a low lawyer's fee is about the same as the income from the meeting, and it is necessary to save the defendant's life? That's a bit demanding!
"No, how could I agree to the client, rape causing death, this kind of case has little chance of saving life, and it may just go through a procedure. You'll find out if you asked in the afternoon. Xie Youhe said.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, a plainly dressed, thirty-year-old woman with a large height and a somewhat sluggish spirit walked into the conference room of the law firm.
"Hello, I'm lawyer Fang Yi, are you Ms. Zhou Junping Zhou?" Fang Yi walked into the conference room and asked.
"I am! Hello, Mr. Fang. I was the one who answered your call before. Ms. Zhou got up and said, her voice slightly weak.
"The defendant is your lover?" Fang Yi asked.
Ms. Zhou didn't speak, but nodded.
"Do you know anything about the case? Can you tell us what happened? Fang Yi picked up the pen and asked.
"I don't know exactly what happened, but at the end of August, my family was eating at home, and suddenly several police officers rushed in and arrested him, and later the police said that he was suspected of rape.
Later, I asked a lawyer to go to the detention center to see him, and the lawyer came back and told me that a woman in the next village had been raped to death, and that he had done it. Ms. Zhou said as she wiped away her tears.
"Now the case is in court?" Fang Yi asked.
"Yes, it was tried in the Intermediate Court." Ms. Zhou nodded.
"The signature and handprint on the entrustment procedure are yours, right?" Fang Yi saw that the other party knew about the case and asked.
"I signed it, and I pressed my handprint. Lawyer Fang, can my husband save his life? Ms. Zhou looked up and asked.
"It's hard to say. The facts of the case that you can provide are limited, and you can only judge after meeting your husband and reading the case file. Fang Yi said.
"How did you get the wound on your face?" Fang Yi saw that there was a bruise on Ms. Zhou's face and asked.
