Recently, former head coach of the national football team, Li Tie, dissatisfied with his 20-year prison sentence, has chosen to appeal! This news has sparked heated discussions and attention from fans and the media.
It is certain that Li Tie is dissatisfied with his 20-year prison sentence! However, fans believe that the punishment is too lenient! We all know that Li Tie deeply hurt the fans! When Li Tie took office as the head coach of the Chinese men's football team, many fans strongly supported him. Because on the surface, Li Tie did indeed perform well. He was a hero who led the Chinese men's football team into the World Cup finals for the first time. Moreover, when Li Tie successively coached the Hebei China Fortune Club and the Wuhan Zall Club, he led two teams in the China League One to successfully promote. From the perspective of the fans, Li Tie's achievements are remarkable, and it is very suitable for him to coach the Chinese men's football team! What the fans did not expect was that Li Tie's eye-catching achievements were all fake, obtained through private monetary transactions! Even to become the head coach of the national football team, Li Tie spent money to buy it!
In the national team, Li Tie still continued to obtain returns through improper means. Also because Li Tie had ulterior motives, he was called by the fans the strongest national football team in history, but it ended the World Cup qualifying campaign with the worst record. After everything was exposed, the fans could be said to hate Li Tie to the bone! Former FA Chairman Chen Xu-yuan was sentenced to life imprisonment for being involved in 81 million yuan, while Li Tie was involved in 120 million yuan but only sentenced to 20 years, so the fans think that Li Tie's sentence is too light!
The reason why Li Tie is dissatisfied is mainly because he thinks the sentence is too long. According to media reports, Li Tie's expectation should be around a 10-year prison sentence. To achieve this goal, Li Tie's wife, Long Fei, spent a lot of money to hire a professional legal team to defend him! Media person Fu Zhenghao stated that the reason why Li Tie appealed this time is because the anti-corruption campaign in football started with Li Tie's reporting and exposing, which falls under the category of meritorious reduction. Therefore, Li Tie feels that the sentence is too heavy.
With Li Tie's appeal, the 20-year prison sentence is also temporarily suspended, because according to relevant regulations, during Li Tie's appeal, the first-instance judgment will not be immediately executed. It is reported that there are three possibilities for the second-instance judgment. The first is to maintain the original judgment. The second is to change the sentence. The third is to send it back for retrial!
For Li Tie to reduce his sentence, many insiders believe that the possibility is not great. On the one hand, Li Tie is suspected of five criminal acts. On the other hand, Li Tie's case has been going on for nearly two years, and the facts and evidence have already become very clear and conclusive! From the trial to the final verdict, it also took several months. The court must have made careful and serious considerations before making the final sentencing.
No matter how he defends himself, Li Tie will definitely not be able to escape his imprisonment! It is also hoped that Li Tie can deeply reflect on himself and become a better person through reform!
