On June 28, Beijing time, three full months have passed since the first trial of former national football coach Li Tie, and the verdict has still not been announced, which may mean that the punishment he faces will be very heavy!

On March 28, 2024, the Intermediate People's Court of Xianning City, Hubei Province, held a public trial of the first instance of the case of Li Tie, the former head coach of the Chinese national men's football team, for accepting bribes, offering bribes from units, accepting bribes from non-state workers, and offering bribes to non-state workers.

Li Tie was involved in the case with an amount of nearly 120 million yuan, and he pleaded guilty and repented in court. The court adjourned the trial and announced the verdict at a later date.

So how long is "elective"? Refer to the case of Chen Xuyuan. On January 29, 2024, the Intermediate People's Court of Huangshi City, Hubei Province, held a public trial of the first instance of the case of Chen Xuyuan, former deputy secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of the Chinese Football Association, who was accused of accepting bribes of more than 81.03 million yuan.

On March 26, 2024, the Intermediate People's Court of Huangshi City, Hubei Province, publicly announced the first-instance verdict in Chen Xuyuan's bribery case, sentencing him to life imprisonment, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property for the crime of accepting bribes; The unlawful gains from accepting bribes are to be recovered in accordance with law and turned over to the state treasury.

It took nearly two months from the opening of the first-instance trial to the announcement of the verdict in the first-instance trial in the Chen Xuyuan case, while it has been three months since the trial of the first-instance trial in the Li Tie case, and the verdict has still not been announced. Let's take a look at the relevant legal provisions.

Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that a people's court hearing a public prosecution case shall pronounce a verdict within two months of accepting the case, and shall not exceed three months at the latest. In cases where the death penalty might be given, or in cases with attached civil litigation, as well as in any of the circumstances provided for in article 158 of this Law, an extension of three months may be granted upon approval by the people's court at the level above; Where an extension is necessary due to special circumstances, it shall be reported to the Supreme People's Court for approval.

From this point of view, Li Tie's inability to pronounce the verdict for three months in the first instance means that it is a "case that may be sentenced to death"? All kinds of indications suggest that at least the punishment he faces may be heavier than Chen Xuyuan!
