Zhiming New Case Bulletin
Office News, April 3:
Ms. Xu from Shenzhen, while previously employed at a cosmetics company, also started her own company and repeatedly purchased cosmetics on credit from her employer for resale. As a result, her employer, Mr. Qi, threatened her with allegations of embezzlement of company funds, coercing her into paying a settlement fee of nearly 8 million yuan, far exceeding the amount owed for the goods. However, despite this payment, she was still criminally filed by the public security authorities and transferred to court, where she was charged with embezzling over 14 million yuan.
[3] Unwilling to accept this injustice, Ms. Xu also reported and pursued charges against Mr. Qi for colluding with a police officer in alleged extortion. The police internal affairs department later found that the involved officer was suspected of bribery, but the case has been handled passively.
In this regard, due to the multiple interrelated charges arising from Ms. Xu's suspected crime of职务侵占 (embezzlement), the case is highly complex, with intense legal battles between the parties, compounded by the particularly large amount of money involved. As her one-year period of release on bail pending investigation was about to expire, after extensive research and inquiry over a long period, Ms. Xu concluded that the Zhiming lawyer team at Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm was the most trustworthy and the only choice capable of handling such major, difficult, and complex cases. Therefore, today Ms. Xu resolutely decided to retain the Zhiming lawyer team to provide her with legal assistance and completed the formal engagement procedures.
