Compared with the executives of the Football Association, Li Tie's situation is even more serious. The amount of money involved in his case is a hundred times more, and his family has not yet returned any of the stolen money to the judicial authorities. From this point of view, it is certain that Li Tie will be sentenced to a longer prison term than the FA executives, even if it is not life imprisonment, it is certainly much longer than 12 years.
Li Tie was born in 1977 and is now 46 years old. If he is sentenced to more than 12 years in prison, it means that he will be in his 60s when he is released. For someone who once rose to the top of Chinese soccer, this huge contrast is certainly unacceptable. According to the latest news, Li Tie's wife Long Fei, who is overseas, has used 5 million yuan to hire one of China's most famous lawyers to defend Li Tie in the hope of minimizing the penalties imposed on him by the judiciary, and the future lawyer's fees will continue to increase, which could be astronomical.
Previously, there were a lot of news that after Li Tie was taken away for investigation, Long Fei had been staying in the UK with her children and filed for divorce from Li Tie locally so that she could monopolize the huge amount of stolen money Li Tie had obtained through illegal means. But from the current situation, Long Fei does not intend to abandon Li Tie, she still wants to do everything possible to keep her husband.
Naturally, Long Fei wanted to minimize the penalties imposed on him by the judiciary simply by investing a large amount of money in hiring a famous team of lawyers to defend Li Tie. The simplest and most direct way was to return all the stolen money involved in Li Tie's case as soon as possible so that he could express his remorse. If not, even hiring the most famous lawyers will be in vain, and without a bit of repentance before the people's court, the suspect will never be forgiven, will he?
