"Well, I don't think the person involved in this case will come to us. If the other party asks, you'd better tell the other party the truth, and we can't make a not-guilty defense in this case. Fang Yi said with a serious face.

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 percent." ”

"Lawyer Fang, if this case is next, if you don't mention it, I will have to tell you about the cost. But the 50,000 yuan is your labor fee, so I don't want it. We've been here for a long time, so there's no need to worry about that. Secretary Wu shirked.

Seeing that the other party was not pretending to shirk, Fang Yi put the money away, and proposed to find a place to invite Secretary Wu to have a drink, the latter gladly accepted, and the people contacted him for a long time.

Secretary Wu is good at this, he is very clear, small money should not be used to maintain relationships, and it is not good to have less big money, because this is deserved. A bit of theft also has the meaning of Tao.

To be honest, Secretary Wu felt a little sorry in his heart, according to Fang Yi, this case is definitely hopeless. In fact, Mr. Liu's assistant did not contact him again, but contacted the referee of the fat lawyer and reached a retention agreement with the fat lawyer.

Half a year later, Secretary Wu suddenly heard that the colleague who recommended the fat lawyer to Mr. Liu was not in the circle, and later inquired and learned that the result of the case was 108,000 miles different from the fat lawyer's prediction.

Mr. Liu suspected that the recommender and the fat lawyer had partnered to cheat him out of money, and spread the news in the circle, and the recommender was not a person inside and out, and was labeled as unreliable.

Later, the recommender wanted to return the money to Mr. Liu out of his own pocket to talk about reconciliation, but people didn't pay attention to him at all, and the result was conceivable, and the recommender's good dog licking career 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 the financial route of his peers, so he found the verdict and saw the following:

The court held that the defendant Liu Yeming, for the purpose of making profits, recruited and controlled a number of people to engage in the activities of selling Y, and his conduct constituted the crime of organizing the sale of Y, and should be severely punished in accordance with law. Defendant Liu Yeming's defense that his conduct did not constitute a crime and his defender's defense opinion that selling Y does not include X transactions between men cannot be sustained.

According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, the crime of organizing the sale of Y refers to the use of means such as recruitment, hiring, inducement, and accommodation to control and manage multiple people to engage in the sale of Y; The "others" in organizing others to sell Y mainly refer to women, but also men.

Defendant Liu Yeming, for the purpose of making profits, organized "public relations personnel" to engage in money and X trading activities, and although the transaction was between people of the same sex, the act was also an act of selling Y, which also obstructed the order of social security administration and undermined good social customs, so Liu Yeming's conduct met the constitutive conditions for organizing the crime of selling Y.

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

1. Defendant Liu Yeming committed the crime of organizing the sale of Y and was sentenced to eight years imprisonment and a fine of 50,000 yuan.

2. Defendant Liu Yeming's unlawful gains of 2,300 yuan are to be recovered.

After the first-instance verdict, the defendant Liu Yeming was not satisfied and appealed. The court of second instance ruled that the appeal was rejected and the original judgment was upheld.

Secretary Wu took the verdict and specially consulted Fang Yi, and Fang Yi told him that he was sentenced to eight years in prison, and if he behaved well in it, he could reduce his sentence, and the fine of 50,000 yuan was not much, but the recovery of 23 million yuan of illegal gains was not a small number.

Secretary Wu pondered that Mr. Liu hated the fat lawyer and the recommender so much, it was likely that not only the nephew was sentenced to eight years, but also the more than 20 million yuan that was recovered.

Secretary Wu was really a little afraid, at that time after Fang Yi said that there was no hope for this case, he really thought about finding another criminal lawyer and making an appointment with Mr. Liu alone, now it seems that ...... Regardless of the line of work, integrity is important.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, and at present, Secretary Wu is still a little entangled in his heart.

At half past nine the next morning, Fang Yi walked into the law firm briskly. I happened to see Meng Guangda wiping the sweat on his head with a small towel while walking towards the law firm, and the few remaining hairs on the top of his head were stuck to his scalp with sweat, looking quite embarrassed.

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

"Hey, don't mention it. I was informed that the trial would be held today, but when I arrived at the courthouse, the clerk told me that the defendant had an acute appendicitis attack last night and was hospitalized, so the trial would not be held. To make a fruitless trip. Meng Guangda explained while folding a small towel.

"Oh, then why are you in a hurry? It's such a sweat. Fang Yi nodded.

"Yun Qiao told me that Lawyer Xie has another criminal case, and ......he just signed it in the morning," Meng Guangda smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, Lawyer Meng, you have to make money, and you have to pay attention to your body, take it easy." Fang Yi smiled.

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

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

Shen Mingzhen is in her forties, looks elegant on the outside, dresses well, and belongs to the kind of woman who looks dignified and atmospheric.

According to Yunmei, Shen Mingzhen runs a jewelry store and usually likes to drink tea very much, and once followed her to learn tea art for a period of time, and the relationship between the two is acceptable.

"Lawyer Fang, since you are a friend of Mr. Yun, I will say anything directly, I came to you this time, mainly for my younger brother Shen Mingyuan, he was arrested some time ago." Shen Mingzhen spoke unhurriedly, the rhythm was well controlled, and she didn't seem impatient at all.

"What is your brother accused of?" Fang Yi asked.

"Suspected of money laundering. I don't really know what money laundering is, so I'd like to ask you about my brother's case. Shen Mingzhen said with a confused expression.

"Can you tell us more about the case?" Fang Yi asked.

"I don't know much about this, so I can't tell you exactly what's going on. I only knew that he was working with a boss, and then I didn't know how, and he suddenly became the chairman of the company, and then he was arrested. Shen Mingzhen shook his head and said.

"Well, Article 191 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever commits any of the following acts in order to cover up or conceal the source and nature of the proceeds of drug crimes, organized crimes of the underworld nature, terrorist activities, smuggling, corruption and bribery, crimes of undermining the order of financial management, or financial fraud, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or short-term detention and/or a fine; where the circumstances are serious, a sentence of between 5 and 10 years imprisonment and a concurrent fine is to be given:

(1) Providing a funding account;

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

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

(4) cross-border transfer of assets;

(5) ...... that otherwise conceals or conceals the source and nature of criminal proceeds and their proceeds"
