The bribe of 300,000 yuan is now considered to be a small amount, to be honest, I have lived for more than 30 years and have not had so much savings, in our city with a monthly salary of two or three thousand yuan in the fourth and fifth tiers, it is ten years to save without spending a penny.
The major crime of bribery is only a lawyer's qualification to be suspended for half a year, and there is no need to be prosecuted or criminally punished, it is better to be fined three glasses of wine.
The lawyer offered a bribe of 300,000 yuan to the judge's wife
According to media reports, the official website of the Xi'an Municipal Bureau of Justice announced an "Administrative Penalty Decision", deciding to impose an administrative penalty of six months of suspension of practice for Liu Tao, director of Shaanxi Zunben Law Firm.
In a case in 2021, Liu Tao offered a bribe of 300,000 yuan in cash to the wife of Wang Moumou, a former judge of the trial supervision division of the Supreme People's Court, for the purpose of influencing the outcome of the case.
On March 6, 2024, the Xi'an Municipal Bureau of Justice received clues about Liu Tao from the Shaoxing Municipal Supervision Commission handed over by the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Group of the Political and Legal Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to the Shaoxing Municipal Supervision Commission, and the Yanta District Justice Bureau was responsible for investigation and verification.
In the investigation of the case of Judge Wang Moumou, the Shaoxing Municipal Supervision Commission held that lawyer Liu Tao took the initiative to cooperate with the supervision organs in the investigation and collection of evidence, and the amount of bribes was small, and at the same time, he was able to take the initiative to explain the bribery issue before prosecution, which played a key role in the detection of major cases.
After collective research, the issue of bribery of lawyer Liu Tao was comprehensively considered in the "three effects", and it was not transferred to the procuratorate.
Bribery interferes with the administration of justice, and there is an accident to explain the problem
Lawyer Liu Tao paid a bribe in 2021, and it was for the purpose of influencing the outcome of the case, and it is not known which case it was, but it was indeed a successful bribe, so should we check whether the case in which he bribed was unjust, false and wrongly decided.
In 2021, he offered bribes, and in 2024, he will carry out an investigation against Wang Moumou, which was confessed by Wang Moumou, and then handed over the clues to the local investigation and punishment, Wang Moumou has already confessed, and this lawyer can only cooperate with the investigation and take the initiative to confess.
The director of a law firm, a senior judge of the Supreme People's Court, these two are people who don't understand the law, they know that this is a crime and crime, but they still do this bribery.
Article 390 of the Criminal Law stipulates that bribery to judicial personnel shall be punished heavily, and the judicial interpretation of the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Supreme People's Court is that bribery of more than 200,000 yuan but less than 1 million yuan shall be deemed to be a serious circumstance as provided for in the Criminal Law.
The "two supreme courts and three ministries" (i.e., the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of State Security, and the Ministry of Justice) have successively issued documents that repeatedly emphasize the need to investigate criminal responsibility to prevent interference in judicial activities.
It can be treated leniently, but it is really a lot to pay a bribe of 300,000 yuan
Of course, lawyer Liu Tao can have meritorious performance, such as voluntary confession, voluntary surrender, confession of crimes, cooperation with the investigation of the judicial organs, etc., can be punished lightly.
However, the amount of bribes of 300,000 yuan is relatively small, and it is a little difficult to convince the public after only stopping practice for half a year, and the 300,000 yuan is not only a lot of money in the eyes of ordinary people, but the key is that this money is used to bribe and interfere with the results of judicial trials.
Of course, it is judged how it should be judged, in fact, in the end, it is the judge who has the final say, and now it is reported that the source of the huge amount of property is unknown at every turn, or how many tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars in corruption and bribery are exposed, so the comparison is indeed 300,000 yuan is not much.
But the 300,000 yuan is just a bribe, has this lawyer Liu Tao only bribed once, has he only interfered with the judge's trial of the case once, is there a specific investigation?
A pound of wheat is a little more than a piece, 300,000 yuan is almost 300,000 catties, and the grain output of an acre of land is almost 300 mu of land based on a high-yield 1,000 catties, and the average farmer is more than an acre, so is 300,000 yuan really a small amount?
