Lawyer's character

When she walked out of the court, Tao Xuehong felt weak all over.

"Ms. Tao, I think there is insufficient evidence for the first-instance court to sentence Mr. Mi to probation. I suggest an appeal." In the hotel bag, Fang Yi looked at Tao Xuehong with firm eyes.

"I'll ask Lao Mi about this when I take him out in the afternoon. But I still have to thank you. I just need to come out." Tao Xuehong said with a little hesitation.

Shortly after the trial ended, the presiding judge announced the verdict in court.

The court held that the defendant unit Pharmaceutical Company and its direct responsible person Mi Jiahong obtained illegal benefits for the enterprise, violated tax regulations, and adopted the method of entering some products into the warehouse without registering them, using IOUs to leave the warehouse, and collecting payments without recording them in the accounts, and sold the products produced by the factory. drugs, evaded more than RMB 7.6 million in taxes, accounting for 54.62% of the tax payable during the same period, destroyed the tax collection and management system, and disrupted the social market economic order. They have all constituted the crime of tax evasion and should be punished.

In the process of tax evasion, the company's legal representative and chairman Mi Jiahong bears direct responsibility. While the legal entity is being investigated, the criminal liability of Mi Jiahong, the person directly responsible, should also be investigated.

The court relied on the Criminal Law, Article 201, paragraph 1, Article 211, Article 72, paragraph 1, Article 73, paragraphs 2 and 3, and the Supreme People’s Court’s Notice on Trial of Tax Evasion. According to the provisions of Article 1, Item (2) of the Interpretation of Several Issues concerning the Specific Application of Laws in Criminal Cases of Tax Resistance, the judgment is as follows:

1. The defendant’s pharmaceutical company committed tax evasion and was sentenced to a fine of RMB 1.4 million.

2. Defendant Mi Jiahong was convicted of tax evasion and was sentenced to three years in prison, suspended for three years, and fined RMB 800,000.

Because he was sentenced to probation, the bailiff first escorted Mi Jiahong back to the detention center and could not be released until the relevant handover procedures were completed in the detention center.

At the end of the trial, it was time for the lunch break, so Tao Xuehong had to wait until she went to work in the afternoon and the detention center completed the formalities before picking up her husband Mi Jiahong.

In any case, Fang Yi's defense played a certain role. Her husband Mi Jiahong was sentenced to three years' probation by the court and did not have to go to prison. Tao Xuehong was very grateful to Fang Yi.

She wanted Fang Yi to meet her husband Mi Jiahong, and it was up to her husband to decide whether to appeal. To be honest, she was quite conflicted. If she didn't appeal, she would face a three-year suspended sentence and a fine of 800,000 yuan. If she appealed, she didn't know what to do, and she would definitely have to spend another sum of money on legal fees.

While Fang Yi and others were eating, in the pharmaceutical company's office, a director named Gao was talking with the pharmaceutical company's defender, a male lawyer wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

"Lawyer Zhou, after the court pronounces the verdict, when will the verdict be released?" Director Gao asked, holding a cigarette in his right hand and leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed.

"Generally speaking, a verdict will be issued within five days." Lawyer Zhou said with a smile.

"Well, the superiors are very satisfied with your plan, but the court fined the company a little more, 1.4 million yuan, which is not a small amount." Director Gao said, chewing his teeth.

"Director Gao, this is not bad. Compared with the benefits that will be obtained from above, this little money is nothing. Resolving the equity issue as soon as possible is the business." Lawyer Zhou was annoyed with Director Gao.

He is a lawyer appointed by the major shareholder, and his main job is to assist Director Gao in completing the equity acquisition of the pharmaceutical company. He knew that Director Gao wanted to gain a sense of presence in front of his boss, do the things he was told to do beautifully, spend as little as possible to do more, and do the equity acquisition well, so as to pave the way for future promotions.

However, after the first trial, the court directly fined the pharmaceutical company 1.4 million yuan. This figure was a bit unacceptable to Director Gao, and it was just unacceptable to him personally. In fact, the people above did not care about this amount of money at all. It's efficiency. After all, this plan has been implemented for more than a year, and the superiors don't want to wait any longer.

This equity acquisition plan was designed by Lawyer Zhou and others. Director Gao only said two sentences from beginning to end. The first sentence: Is this plan feasible? The second sentence: The superiors agreed, let’s do this, I said that the plan we made must be fine, and the superiors indeed nodded.

Lawyer Zhou was so angry that the plan he had worked so hard to think of was transformed into collective strength by Director Gao's light words.

In fact, Lawyer Zhou and Director Gao are at odds with each other. Both of them want to use this plan to gain some merit and let their superiors look at them favorably. However, they are constraining each other and neither one is convinced by the other.

One of the two people has a high IQ and is proficient in law, and the other is an experienced person and is proficient in calculation. This may be the way to employ people.

"Well, that's what you said. Then let's speed up according to your wishes. What do you think we should do next?" Director Gao rolled his eyes and looked at Lawyer Zhou with a sincere face.

Lawyer Zhou frowned: You old man, you want me to donate my brain cells again, hum!

"Now the rhythm is in our hands. Since the court has ruled, we can take this opportunity to talk to Lao Mi. After all, the agreement is in our hands." Lawyer Zhou said.

"Is it too urgent?" Director Gao hesitated and asked.

"The bosses are pressing hard. When we made this plan, we just wanted to take advantage of the court's decision to take advantage of Lao Mi. Now that the breach of contract clause in the contract has been triggered, we can take action." Lawyer Zhou said with narrowed eyes.

"What if Lao Mi appeals?" Director Gao asked.

"Appeal? Don't worry about him. The first-instance court has already ruled. There is little chance that the second-instance court will change the ruling. This matter should be done sooner rather than later." Lawyer Zhou urged.

"Okay, I'll find someone to talk to Lao Mi about this in the next two days. If he doesn't agree, we will sue the court." Director Gao nodded.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Tao Xuehong drove to the detention center. After waiting for a while, there was a grinding sound of gold and iron, and the large iron door of the detention center opened. An old policeman from the detention center opened the door. The unshaven old Mi was brought to the gate.

"Lao Mi, you are Taiyuan Iron \u0026 Steel Co., Ltd., and you have lived for most of your life. Look at it, we have to learn to be flexible. When you go out, do your research well and benefit the people more." The old policeman looked at Lao Mi and said.

The old policeman suffered from rheumatism. Taking advantage of the opportunity of looking after Lao Mi, he consulted a lot about the methods of treating rheumatism. After using Lao Mi's plaster, the effect was quite obvious. Later, he recommended Lao Mi's method to many colleagues suffering from rheumatism. Those people took the medicine according to the prescription and were very grateful to Lao Mi, so he always treated Lao Mi well.

This also fully proves the saying that gold will shine wherever it is.

Listening to the old policeman's words, Lao Mi didn't say anything, but kept nodding. He knew that the old policeman was doing this for his own good.

"Okay, let's go. There is a police officer in your area, who happened to be my apprentice's classmate at the police academy. I'll say hello to him later and take care of you," the old policeman said.

"Thank you! Thank you." Lao Mi bowed to the old policeman.
