The procuratorate did not prosecute the crime of opening a casino.

Last year, at the invitation of a friend, Jia went to a casino to gamble. The casino was closed down because it was reported, and a group of gamblers such as Jia received administrative punishment. I thought it was over. As a result, this year, Jia was suddenly arrested at home on the grounds that he was suspected of opening a casino. After arriving at the case, Jia Cai knew that it was related to the casino that participated in gambling last year. Among the criminals who came to the case, Jia was accused of being in charge of pumping water in the casino, and was a * * * criminal who opened the casino. According to the clues, the police arrested Jia and arrested him with the approval of the procuratorate, which lasted for several months. After accepting the entrustment, the lawyer immediately rushed to the detention center to meet and listen to A's statement on the facts of the case. At the same time, he went to the procuratorate to read the papers at the first time and found that A's evidence of participating in the crime was extremely weak. According to the lawyer's suggestion, the procuratorate is also very concerned about the part of the case involving A, and twice returned the case to the public security for supplementary investigation, but the facts outweigh everything. After two times of supplementary evidence, the evidence of A's alleged crime is still insufficient. In this case, our lawyer submitted A's innocent defense opinion to the procuratorate twice and actively communicated with the procuratorate. In the end, the procuratorate adopted the lawyer's legal advice and decided not to prosecute A because of insufficient evidence. On the day of the decision, A was released, and he and his family were extremely excited and grateful. This case also highlights the fairness and justice of the law. The law will not put criminals wrong, nor will it wronged good people.
