First, the perpetrator committed fraud. Formally speaking, fraud includes two types: fictional facts and concealing the truth, both of which are essentially behaviors that make victims fall into wrong understanding.
The content of fraud is to make the victim have a wrong understanding and make the property disposal that the perpetrator wants under certain circumstances. Therefore, fabricating or concealing past facts, or present facts and future facts, as long as they have the above contents, is a kind of fraud.
Precautions for lawyers
It should be noted that lawyers are people who use the weapon of law to properly protect the rights and interests of clients. When a lawyer begins to say that "you can get people out by finding a relationship and giving some money", this lawyer is definitely untrustworthy.
It should be noted that it is almost impossible to "fish out" the detainees in the detention center. There are strict approval procedures for releasing personnel, so it is impossible to talk to only a few people. In many cases, the suspects themselves may be released. Many people who spend money on relationships do nothing but wait for the result after receiving money. If they are released, it will be their own credit. If they don't let go, they will find various reasons.
