In the field of criminal defense, “37 days” is recognized as the “golden rescue period” to decide the fate of the client. Whether in this critical time, through meticulous legal analysis and case authorities to reach an effective communication, is a criminal lawyer to measure the professional quality of the “touchstone”.

Recently, Beijing King&Capital Law Firm, Xu Wei lawyers, He Shunqi lawyers with solid professional skills and rigorous defense strategy, successfully for the deep involved in a cross-border gambling case of the client not to approve the results of the arrest, the client has been successfully change the mandatory measures for bail pending trial, regained their freedom.

I. Exploitation of cocoon: facing the “complex maze” of cross-border cases

This case is not an ordinary criminal case, its background is extremely complex and representative, is a huge test of the comprehensive ability of defense lawyers:

Complex background: the case belongs to the network gambling case supervised by the higher authorities, and the background involves cross-border live broadcasting platforms, network gambling and a complex common criminal chain.

Critical defense situation: as the client played a key management role in the live broadcasting platform involved in the case, he had a prominent position in the joint criminal organization initially identified by the investigating authorities, and was listed as the first suspect in the chain, facing a very high risk of arrest.

Characteristics of the new type of crime: the case relies on cross-border live broadcasting, the use of high-tech means of implementation, the number of people involved in the number of people, evidence extraction is difficult, is the focus of the current judicial authorities to crack down on the key areas.

Second, accurate defense: King&Capital Law Firm's professional “breakthrough” road.

Xu Wei and He Shunqi lawyer intervention, the first time to meet with the client and access to relevant materials, quickly clarify the defense ideas. In the legal opinion submitted to the procuratorial authorities, the defense accurately point out the four major contradictions in the case:

01

The defense of characterization: the boundary between being a perpetrator and helping a perpetrator

The defense proposed, although the person acted as the so-called “manager”, but his subjective only part-time, the lack of subjective intent to open a casino; objectively only undertake the function of information transfer, not involved in the establishment of the site, the funds settlement and other core behavior. On this basis, the lawyer argued that his client was neither a perpetrator nor an accomplice.

02

Amount of defense: the rigorous proofreading of the filing standard

Through the understanding of the backstage data calculation model, the defense pointed out that the client's income is only the normal live streaming bounty share, there is no evidence to prove that it is directly from the betting money “profit”, and its actual behavior is far from reaching the criminal prosecution standard of the crime of opening a casino.

03

Evidence defense: doubtful in favor of the suspect

Lawyers keenly captured the flaws in the evidence chain of the case - the platform data involved in the case was retained for a very short period of time, resulting in the key profit amount could not be accurately verified. Based on the principle of “suspicion favors the suspect”, the lawyer insisted that the evidence in this case was insufficient and did not meet the conditions for arrest.

04

Humane defense: the legal temperature transfer

In addition to the legal defense, the lawyer also submitted the client is suffering from a disease, life can not take care of their own physical condition. The defender emotionally cited the “Tang Law Review” in the “mourning the prison” idea, advocating the extremely weak suspect to take non-custodial measures, fully embodies the King&Capital Law Firm lawyers in the legal profession in addition to the humane care.

Third, the dust settles: the double victory of jurisprudence and humanity

In mid-January 2026, the procuratorate fully adopted Xu Wei, He Shunqi lawyer's defense, decided not to approve the arrest. Accordingly, the case authorities issued a “bail pending trial decision letter”, the release of the client from custody.

This heavy decision, not only is the best proof of the professional ability of defense lawyers, but also on the “law is no more than human feelings, reason is no more than the most vivid interpretation of heaven”.

Lawyer's message

Behind every criminal case, the freedom of a person or even the fate of a family is at stake. Under the high-pressure background of cross-border special cases, King&Capital Law Firm lawyers always insist: professional defense, not only in the evidence and jurisprudence to find vitality, but also in the details and human nature to highlight the justice.
