Chapter 459 I don't understand the law

On the day of the trial, Zhou Yingqi's father, Mr. Zhou, sat in the second row last time, listening to the prosecutor's reading of the complaint with complicated eyes.

Zhou Yingqi, who was sitting in the defendant's seat, appeared calm on the surface, but in fact her heart was already turbulent. The prosecutor's indictment described her as a woman who was greedy and greedy, which made her very disgusted. She hoped that the defense Fang Yi provided for her would be adopted by the court.

“…In summary, the defendant Zhou Yingqi used his power to seek benefits for others and accepted RMB 8180,000 from Zhao Xiaojie and RMB 300,000 from Jiayue Company.

This court believes that the defendant Zhou Yingqi's behavior violated Article 388 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, the crime of criminal facts are clear, the evidence is true and sufficient, and criminal responsibility should be pursued for the crime of accepting bribes. Given that the defendant has pleaded guilty and remorse and actively returned the stolen goods, he can be leniently dealt with.

According to Article 176 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, a public prosecution is filed and sentenced according to law is completed." A female prosecutor in a ponytail and over thirties read out the indictment in a straightforward manner.

"Defendant Zhou Yingqi, have you heard clearly the indictment read by the prosecutor just now? Do you have any objections to the criminal facts and charges accused of you in the indictment? What are your objections?" The presiding judge is a male judge with a square face and tall figure. Sitting up on it is like a glaring Vajra.

In contrast, the other two male judges in the collegial panel, one is thin and the other is fat, and they seem to be less imposing than the presiding judge, and they feel like two foils.

"If you have any objection, I have objections to the amount of bribes I have.

First of all, Zhao Xiaojie and I have a lover. He gave me money to live together in the future. Therefore, the money he gave should not be considered as bribes.

Secondly, Zhao Xiaojie asked me to match Jiayue Company. I introduced Jiayue Company to the technology company based on our special relationship. I just helped them. There is no situation where I seek improper benefits for Jiayue Company. Therefore, this 300,000 yuan should not be considered a bribe.

In the end, Zhao Xiaojie gave me 1.88 million yuan and asked me to promote him. I recognized the money, but I helped him mainly because of my lover's relationship. I don't understand the law and don't know if this is considered a bribery.

The above are the objections I raised. There is a special relationship between me and Zhao Xiaojie. Everything arises because of this special relationship. Please consider it in the court." Zhou Yingqi said.

"The prosecutor may interrogate the defendant for the crimes alleged in the indictment." said the presiding judge.

"Defendant Zhou Yingqi, when did you and Zhao Xiaojie meet?" asked the prosecutor.

"We met at work. In 2008, when I was the vice president and he was the department manager." Zhou Yingqi said.

"According to the bank statement, on January 2, 2011, Zhao Xiaojie transferred 1.88 million yuan to you. What is the money used for?" asked the prosecutor.

"At that time, our group company was undergoing leadership adjustments. He wanted to apply for the position of assistant general manager and asked me to give me 1.88 million yuan for the event, as the cost of the event." Zhou Yingqi said.

"Did you move for him? What does 'activation' mean?" asked the prosecutor.

"The event is to treat guests and give gifts to pave the way for his promotion. After I got the money, I visited several bosses of the group. Only Vice President Ge agreed to my request during the meal. The other bosses just acted perfunctorily on the surface and did not agree to me. Later, Zhao Xiaojie got the position of general assistant." Zhou Yingqi said.

The reason why she dared to say that Vice President Ge agreed to her request was because Vice President Ge entered a month before she was arrested, and the matter has been investigated by relevant departments.

"In 2013, Zhao Xiaojie instructed his subordinates to operate cultural projects illegally, resulting in fraud in funds and causing significant losses to the company. As a result, Zhao Xiaojie was dealt with by the company lightly. Is this related to you?" asked the prosecutor.

"I did ask for love from the company for him, but this is because of the relationship between us, not for money." Zhou Yingqi defended.

"But after the punishment, Zhao Xiaojie transferred three sums to you, one was 400,000 yuan, one was 500,000 yuan, and the other was 300,000 yuan, a total of 1.2 million yuan. Why did he give you money?" the prosecutor asked.

"Because we lived together at that time, the food, drink and expenses were mixed together. He gave me the money to maintain our relationship." Zhou Yingqi said secretly: I was really right by Lawyer Fang, and the prosecutor really asked this question.

"In March 2011 and June 2014, Zhao Xiaojie gave you three million yuan and two million yuan respectively. What are the money of these two transactions?" asked the prosecutor.

"The first one was the money he bought for me for the house. We were planning to buy a wedding house after he divorced. The second one was the breakup fee." Zhou Yingqi said.

"But according to our investigation, you didn't buy a house at that time," the prosecutor said.

"I didn't buy a house because he has never divorced and we can't get married." Zhou Yingqi said.

"Previous Judge, we've finished asking." Procuratorate Road.

"Does the defense lawyer of the defendant Zhou Yingqi need to ask the defendant?" The presiding judge looked at Fang Yi.

"You need to ask questions." Fang Yi cleared his throat and said, "Defendant Zhou Yingqi, what is your relationship with Zhao Xiaojie?"

"We are in a lover relationship." Zhou Yingqi said.

"When will you determine the relationship between lovers?" Fang Yi said.

"Around October 2009, I can't remember the specific time." Zhou Yingqi said.

"How far has your relationship developed?" Fang Yi asked.

"Oppose! The presiding judge, the prosecutor believes that the questions raised by the defense lawyer have nothing to do with this case." The prosecutor said.

"Previous Judge, the questions I asked help clarify the facts of the case, and are not irrelevant to the case." Fang Yi argued.

"The defense lawyer continues to ask questions." The presiding judge whispered a few words with the judges on both sides, and said.

"Defendant, please answer my question just now." Fang Yi said.

"We have started talking about marriage and food, food, drink, and accommodation are together. I control his salary and bonuses. We don't distinguish between each other." Zhou Yingqi said.

"The first time Zhao Xiaojie transferred money to you and asked you to help him deal with the promotion, was it before or after you determined your lover's relationship?" Fang Yi asked.

"It was after confirming the relationship between lovers." Zhou Yingqi said.

"What is your relationship now?" Fang Yi asked.

"We broke up at the end of June 2014." Zhou Yingqi said.

"Why did you break up?" Fang Yi asked.

"Because I urged him to divorce, but his wife did not divorce, he filed several lawsuits for divorce and was rejected by the court. Later, I found that he was getting more and more greedy and his temper became stronger and stronger. We broke up after a big fight." Zhou Yingqi said.

"Do you think Zhao Xiaojie is using you or really loving you?" Fang Yi asked.

"We are sincere to each other, but we met the right person at the wrong time." Zhou Yingqi said.

"Previous Judge, I've finished asking." Fang Yi said.
