The moderator made an opening statement
Zhang Nannan, member of Zhiheng Management Committee and director of the Criminal Center
Director Zhang Nannan gave a speech on the stage. In recent years, there have been nearly 2,000 pyramid scheme cases in Shenzhen that can be searched online for referees, and there are many more pyramid scheme cases that are not online. The number is very large, involving a wider area and difficult to determine the amount. In the face of difficult and complex pyramid scheme cases, how should criminal defense lawyers formulate defense strategies? I believe that in today's keynote lecture, through the sharing of the keynote speakers and the speakers, all the listeners can be inspired.
