Prosecutor responds to “prosecutor’s improper remarks at court trial”: instructs serious handling

　　China News Service, June 29, in response to the "prosecutor's court review of the Dawa District People's Procuratorate in Panjin City", the Panjin City People's Procuratorate issued a statement on the official WeChat on the 29th that it has instructed the Dawa District People's Procuratorate to take this incident seriously deal with. The court will investigate whether the prosecutor handling the case has violated the rules and discipline in the process of handling the case, and make corresponding treatment based on the investigation results.

　　According to the briefing, on June 28, relevant audio and video of the Prosecutor of the People’s Procuratorate of Dawa District in Panjin City during the trial of Teng Derong appeared on the Internet. The People’s Procuratorate of Panjin City immediately reviewed the court trial video and checked the relevant situation.

　　Regarding the statement that “not accepting bribes proves that judicial personnel guarantee the moral bottom line”. It is understood that Teng Derong's suspected false lawsuit involved the original civil lawsuit. The relevant judicial personnel returned the bribe in February 2015, and did not seek benefits for the briber. But in the court debate, the prosecutor did not accurately express this fact, and it was obviously inappropriate to express his opinion.

　　Regarding the statement that the time of recording and the time of synchronous recording and video recording are inconsistent, which proves the rigor of the investigators' work. It is understood that there is indeed a discrepancy between the time taken by the investigators to interrogate the suspect and the time recorded in the synchronous audio and video recording, and the prosecutor's views on this issue are incorrect. The People’s Procuratorate of Panjin City has started to examine whether the above-mentioned evidence is legal.

　　The fact sheet pointed out that according to the above investigation, the People’s Procuratorate of Panjin City instructed the People’s Procuratorate of Dawa District to deal with the incident seriously. The court will investigate whether the prosecutor handling the case has violated the rules and discipline in the process of handling the case, and make corresponding treatment based on the investigation results.
