Recently, Attorney An Hongpeng, a partner at Beijing King&Capital Law Firm, achieved a favorable defense outcome in the case of Liu Moumou, who was charged with accepting bribes and offering bribes. Attorney An accurately identified the key points of the defense, communicated actively and effectively with judicial authorities, and met frequently with the client. Through his tireless efforts, he ultimately secured a favorable outcome: a sentence at the lower end of the prosecution’s sentencing recommendation range, with the two charges combined and a single sentence of ten years and six months’ imprisonment. The client’s family presented Attorney An Hongpeng with a banner of appreciation to express their gratitude.

This case exhibits the following four notable characteristics:

1. The defendant held a high-ranking position, attracting significant attention from all parties. Prior to the incident, the defendant, Liu Moumou, served as Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Director, and General Manager of a large state-owned enterprise, holding a position equivalent to the director-general level. From the moment the case was filed, it received close attention at all levels of government, with the supervisory, procuratorial, and judicial authorities maintaining mutual oversight and cooperation throughout the proceedings.

2. The scope for defense was limited, but communication proved highly effective. This case involved bribery offenses totaling over 7 million yuan and bribe-giving offenses totaling over 200,000 yuan. There were no mitigating circumstances such as voluntary surrender or meritorious service, and the evidence supporting the charges was relatively solid. Consequently, Attorney An carefully and thoroughly reviewed the case files, focusing on evidentiary flaws and missing materials within the case records. He engaged in repeated communications with the prosecution regarding issues of conviction and sentencing to seek a lower sentencing recommendation; Prior to the trial, he fully presented his defense arguments to the judicial authorities regarding the factual findings for the bribery offense and the legal characterization of the bribe-giving offense. Ultimately, he achieved a favorable outcome: within the range recommended by the prosecution—a combined sentence of 10 years and 2 months to 11 years and 6 months—the court imposed the lower sentence of 10 years and 6 months.

III. The case spanned a relatively long period, requiring frequent meetings between the attorney and the client. The case underwent review and prosecution by two levels of procuratorial organs; the period from the family’s formal engagement of Attorney An to the court’s pronouncement of the verdict lasted nine months. During this time, Attorney An met with the client more than 30 times—nearly once a week—demonstrating a highly responsible and dedicated professional spirit.

IV. A “Model Trial” Was Held, Yielding Excellent Results. This case was heard at a certain Intermediate People’s Court in Beijing as a “model trial.” On the day of the hearing, more than 200 Party members, leaders, and officials from government agencies, enterprises, and public institutions across the city attended as observers. Prior to the trial, all parties involved engaged in thorough communication; during the proceedings, Attorney An presented his defense arguments in a comprehensive and reasonable manner, delivering high-quality oral arguments that earned unanimous praise from the defendant, judicial authorities, and the audience.

This banner of appreciation not only represents the client’s commendation of the handling attorney but also serves as a high affirmation of the professional competence and dedication of King&Capital Law Firm’s attorneys. It fully embodies the firm’s service philosophy of “pursuing excellence and living up to the trust placed in us.”
