Released on:2022-12-13

Recently, King&Capital Law Firm partner Mr. Xu Wei represented the case of Z Mou suspected of opening a casino, after the review and prosecution stage of the defense work, Z Mou was released on bail pending trial.

Z Mou's company mainly provides network access and server hosting business for customers. The investigating authorities alleged that a gambling criminal group set up the gambling platform server in Z Mou's company, and Z Mou intentionally provided technical assistance, thus constituting the crime of opening a casino.

The defense intervened in the case during the review and prosecution stage, at which time Z had already been detained off-site for more than three months. Through reading the file, the defense learned that the case is a local special case, the number of people involved in the case, the criminal gang only profit has been more than 100 million. Z is not the person in charge of the casino, but by the investigating authorities as the "number one" suspect.

The defense promptly reviewed the file, according to the contents of the file, the defense found related to Z, procedural and substantive doubts and problems.

In terms of procedure, no interrogation transcripts were made in the days after Z was taken away; the first interrogation transcripts reflected that the investigators' interrogation time was too long; the investigating authorities did not send Z to the detention center in a timely manner after detaining him; and the investigators interrogated Z outside the detention center. Considering the fact that Z Mou had retracted his confession at a later stage, the defense suggested that the prosecutor should focus on reviewing the relevant evidence in order to prevent a wrongful conviction.

On the substantive side, the defense focused on the contradictory evidence and the absence of important evidence.

The prosecutor indicated in the communication that the case was significant and complex, and that a meeting would be held to discuss the issues after receiving the lawyer's written comments.

Eventually, the procuratorate decided to return the case to the public security organs for additional investigation, the public security organs notify the family for Z for bail pending trial, Z became the only person released, Z has been detained for 6 months.

In this case, the defender used mature defense logic to win the ideal result for the client, showing the dedication of King&Capital lawyers and the professional standard of criminal defense, and won the high affirmation of the client and his family.
