Recently, the case of Macau Suncity Group's agent opening casinos represented by lawyer Xu Wei came to an end, and the court of first instance ruled that the defendant was sentenced to two years of imprisonment and two years and six months of probation, and returned the over-seized money, and the judgment of the first instance has already come into effect.

I. This case is a series of cases of the Macau Suncity Group

A few years ago, the relevant persons of the Macau Suncity Group had been sentenced for the crime of opening a casino, but the special case did not come to an end, and the shareholder-level agents or large agents developed by the Macau Suncity Group in the country are still listed as the targets of the special case for pursuing prosecution.

The party in this case had opened an agent account with the Sun City Group of Macau, and was therefore accused of allegedly hiring others and soliciting people in the country to participate in gambling through online and offline methods, involving around 400 million yuan of gambling capital and making a profit of around 5 million yuan.

Second, the evidence in this case is insufficient, the lawyer not guilty defense

When the lawyer intervened, the case had already been transferred to the court for trial, due to the client had a previous conviction for the crime of opening a casino, and this time the amount of gambling capital is particularly huge, the amount of profit is high, and it is very likely to face a sentence of about 7 to 8 years. However, the lawyer through the analysis of the evidence of the whole case, that the case has evidence of the existence of large problems, can not form a complete chain of evidence, can take two layers of defense program, first to insufficient evidence to fight for acquittal to deal with its on, and then to the second consideration of the plea of guilty to get probation to deal with it.

three, a pre-trial meeting, three formal trial of the exchange of

this case due to the lawyer to do not guilty defense, prosecution and defense has been more controversial, the prosecutor from the pre-trial meeting until the last session has been supplementing the evidence material, the defense is to see the trick, always find the case there are a lot of problems. Several court hearings, the lawyer believes that the main problems of the case are: first, the logic of the accusation is wrong, the indictment accuses the criminal behavior and the facts proved by the evidence can not be corresponded to; second, the key facts do not have enough evidence to be able to confirm, such as the party acting as an agent of the gambling site, but the gambling site electronic data has not been fixed and so on; third, the testimonies of the gamblers who came to the case have low probative value, and some of the administrative records have not been transformed and other issues; fourth. The legality of the key electronic data is doubtful. Through these sessions, the Procuratorate and the court have a tendency to continue the supplementary investigation by extending the trial period, and the prolonged delay of the case will cause other losses to the parties.

Fourth, to fight to promote talk, the parties were ultimately satisfied with the results

Under the authorization of the parties, the defense once again in-depth exchanges with the procuratorate, pointed out that the case for sentencing the facts of the problem, one is the parties to the case automatically surrendered before the end of the trial can be truthfully confessed can be recognized as a self-surrender; the second party to the initiative of the surrender of the illegal income is only for the purpose of obtaining bail, the existing evidence is insufficient to confirm the The amount of illegal income is consistent with the surrender, should be returned; Third, the party is not a recidivist, there are still opportunities for probation, hoping that the prosecuting authorities can take into account the special features of this case, the party is willing to plead guilty and accept punishment on the basis of a recommendation for the application of probation. After thorough discussion, the case-handling authorities finally adopted the defense's proposal. The client was given the opportunity to apply probation on the basis of his voluntary admission of guilt and admission of punishment, and was able to retrieve the money he had voluntarily surrendered earlier and return to his family and work.

Thus, the defense of this case is fully completed.
