Why are there only judges and no lawyers? How should lawyers deal with bribery?
Bribery and bribery are mutual crimes, and there must be bribery if there is bribery. According to the current standard (general situation), the starting point of bribery is 30 thousand yuan. That is to say, if two lawyers each pay bribes to the judge 1.5 million, the judge has reached the starting point, which constitutes the crime of accepting bribes, while the lawyer does not constitute a crime. However, if a lawyer gives a bribe of 30,000 yuan to a judge, the judge constitutes a crime of accepting bribes, and the lawyer constitutes a crime of bribery.
Bribery infringes the management order of state organs and the integrity of public officials, but the treatment of bribers is lighter than that of bribers. According to the law, as long as the briber voluntarily confesses before being prosecuted, he can be given a lighter or mitigated punishment. If the circumstances are minor and play a key role in the detection of the case or make a significant contribution, the punishment may be given a lighter or exempted. On the other hand, in the crime of accepting bribes, only if the amount of bribes does not exceed 200,000 yuan, it is possible to be lightened, mitigated or exempted from punishment if it meets the conditions, and it is impossible to be lightened or exempted from punishment if it exceeds 200,000 yuan. Because of the concealment of bribery, the briber will be given the maximum leniency policy in practice in order to obtain evidence to convict the briber. A considerable number of tainted witnesses in American TV dramas and Hong Kong films were given to bribers. It is feasible and not illegal for a lawyer to bribe a judge and only sentence the judge to not sentence the lawyer.
Law is the bottom line, and there are industry rules and professional ethics above the bottom line. Not sentencing is the need of criminal policy, and it is also the need to investigate bribers. Lawyers do not bear criminal responsibility for bribery, but they must accept industry punishment. A lawyer in Beijing wrote to several judges, asking them to introduce the source of the case and promised them an introduction fee. If the case is not handed over to the judge, the penalty of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Justice is to revoke the lawyer's practice certificate. It is only to create conditions for bribery and revoke the license. This kind of punishment can be a reference standard for dealing with bribery lawyers everywhere. Bribery by lawyers can also lead to unfair trials and pollute water sources. A lawyer's code of conduct cannot be so low as not to commit a crime. Praise the punishment decision of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Justice, and expect the punishment decisions of other regional judicial bureaus to be made as soon as possible.
