In China, the crime of opening a casino is a serious crime. Once convicted, they will be severely punished, including imprisonment and fines. However, in some cases, the defendant can reduce the punishment by fighting for probation. To win probation, you need to meet the following conditions: 1, sincere guilty attitude; 2. No other serious crimes have been committed; 3. Be able to prove that you have recognized the crime and taken positive corrective measures; 4. Cooperate with lawyers to provide detailed information such as family and professional background, and fully express remorse. In the process of preparing for probation, the defendant should actively cooperate with the lawyer, provide detailed evidence and materials, and work out appropriate defense strategies with the lawyer. In addition, we must appear in court in person to express our remorse, promise not to commit crimes again, and assist relevant departments in cracking down on gambling crimes.
Is there any other legal remedy for the crime of opening a casino besides seeking probation? In addition to seeking probation, the defendant can also appeal or apply for retrial under appropriate circumstances to seek other legal remedies. In addition, if the defendant thinks that he has been wrongly accused, or that other judicial procedures have acted improperly, he can also lodge a complaint or charge.
