A new chapter has finally been opened in the Li Tie case. After exhaustive investigation and evidence collection, the case has come to an end, Li Tie has been formally transferred to the judicial organs and procuratorial organs to deal with, the news has been publicly disclosed on the official website of the China Commission for Discipline Inspection. Numerous legal professionals have expressed their views on the progress of the case after the transfer of Li Tie. After the transfer of judicial organs, Li Tie enjoyed two new rights outside the detention center. The first is the right to visit, outsiders were able to get in touch with Li Tie; the second is Li Tie now.
These two rights are of vital importance to Li Tie, and it is possible that he will receive a reduced sentence as a result, especially through the help of a lawyer. Since Li Tie's arrest, details of his private life and some of the alleged amounts have been widely reported in the media. If these amounts are true, Li Tie faces a possible life sentence or the death penalty, depending on the penalty for corruption under Chinese law. China's efforts to fight corruption should not be underestimated.
However, economic crimes have their own peculiarities, which is why many officials dare to take the risk. Even though the verdict may be harsh, there is more flexibility in sentence adjustment, especially if they are willing to take the initiative to pay fines and recover stolen money, the sentence may be reduced. In addition, senior officials like Li Tie believe that there are many doubts about the source of their property, but with the help of a team of professional lawyers, they can fight for their rights and interests through complicated legal documents and even take advantage of legal loopholes.
Last month, there was a lot of news about Li Tie. Both of his wives in Europe and the United States have been actively campaigning to try to hire a team of top lawyers to assist Li Tie in mitigating his crimes. It was reported that they would spend $5 million to hire elite lawyers in an effort to get the lightest punishment for Li Tie. This is not purely out of emotion for Li Tie, but mainly to preserve his assets. Most of Li Tie's assets have been transferred to the names of his two wives, who are worried that if Li Tie is convicted of a felony, their own assets will be seriously threatened. Therefore, they hired lawyers at great expense to protect their own interests.
Nevertheless, the two rights acquired by Li Tie are undoubtedly good news. His two wives are also actively mediating. Therefore, the final sentence regarding Li Tie will most likely not be as harsh as the public expects, but a lighter sentence between life imprisonment and death.
