Between them is essentially an affiliated relationship, and in this case the defendant Cui Qing is to have the eighteenth Engineering Department of people's wife. In this way, she even if the occupation, the occupation of the family property, so can not constitute the crime of embezzlement.

defense ideas On the crime of embezzlement, the first instance verdict was found guilty. There is evidence that the defendant in the case of the eighteenth works on account of the money into their credit card accounts and personal accounts.

We believe that in this case, whether the defendant constitutes the & ldquo; embezzlement & rdquo; the key is the & ldquo; Occupation & rdquo; nature of money, and nature of Pulandian City owned construction company eighteenth engineering decided that the nature of these payments. Therefore, we must closely around the nature of the enterprise to investigate and obtain evidence. 
A & ldquo; & rdquo; of the crime of falsely making out special invoices for value-added tax; the prosecution's evidence really fully, to prove the facts of the crime. But we also noticed that the prosecution's evidence does not prove the criminal behavior in this case the defendant - our client. Due to our client - the defendant together with the & ldquo; false & rdquo; owner of unit is the relationship between husband and wife and there is evidence to prove that the & ldquo; false & rdquo; during the couple feelings have been broken, are divorcing. This important fact should be the focus of our defense.
