Recently, Chinese table tennis star Zhang Jike was exposed to suspected illegal acts such as overseas gambling and spreading other people's private photos, which has aroused widespread concern in the society. It is reported that the Central Political and Legal Commission has paid attention to this matter and urged relevant departments to thoroughly investigate the incident. So, in this huge controversy, who will go to jail between Zhang Jike and Li Weiao? This article will analyze the penalties and consequences that the two may face from a legal perspective.
I. How should I be punished for suspected overseas gambling?
According to media reports, Zhang Jike is suspected of gambling abroad, and whether this constitutes a crime needs to be seen on a case-by-case basis.
According to the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Administrative Penalties for Public Security, Chinese citizens who go to overseas casinos to gamble should be punished if the place of settlement of wins and losses is within China. The money won from gambling, as well as its interest and prizes, shall be recovered and a fine shall be imposed.
However, in Zhang Jike's time, gambling involved more illegal acts than that. In 2005, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Notice on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Handling of Gambling Illegal Cases, which stipulates that gamblers should not only be punished accordingly, but also recover their assets. In addition, for special groups such as state employees or party members, it is strictly forbidden to gamble abroad, otherwise they will be punished more severely.
Therefore, according to the existing laws and regulations, if Zhang Jike is suspected of overseas gambling, in addition to recovering his gambling income, interest and prizes, he may also face corresponding fines or more severe penalties.
Two. Suspected debts may give rise to financial liability
According to media reports, Zhang Jike still has problems with arrears and borrowings. If there is clear evidence of debt, its suspected conduct will raise the issue of loan disputes and liability for default. At the same time, debtors may also face certain legal penalties if they do not repay in time.
3. Distributing private photos of others may result in imprisonment
Zhang Jike has also been accused of allegedly distributing private photos of others. Whether this act constitutes a violation of the law depends on whether it violates the personal privacy of others.
According to the provisions of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, citizens have the right to enjoy personal privacy in accordance with law, and no unit or individual may infringe upon citizens' personal privacy. Information such as photos or videos involving personal privacy should obtain the explicit consent of the person being photographed.
If Zhang Jike disseminates private photos of others without the consent of the other party, it means that he may have violated the provisions of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China. In addition, in some cases, such acts may be suspected of constituting the crime of disseminating pornographic materials, which may lead to more severe criminal penalties.
4. Who will go to jail between Zhang Jike and Li Weiao?
According to the information currently available, Zhang Jike's suspected illegal acts include overseas gambling and spreading private photos of others. The nature of the two problems is different, and the penalties that may be faced are different.
For those suspected of gambling, the usual treatment is to recover the gambling funds and impose a fine. If the circumstances are more serious, they may face criminal penalties. However, from the current information, it is difficult for us to determine whether Zhang Jike has gambled behavior, and it is even more difficult to determine the scale of funds involved and other specific circumstances. Therefore, it is difficult to predict whether Zhang Jike will be sentenced to prison.
In contrast, publishing private photos of others faces stricter legal penalties. If the relevant conduct is found to be an infringement of others' privacy rights or constitutes a criminal offense, Zhang Jike is likely to face severe criminal punishment, including imprisonment.
For Li Weiao, who is suspected of breaking the law, he will face corresponding punishment according to the specific situation. If his actions are found to constitute an offence, he may also face criminal penalties, including imprisonment. However, we need to point out that there is no precise information about Li Weiao's involvement at present. Therefore, we cannot accurately predict whether he will be punished by law.
In short, Zhang Jike and Li Weiao are suspected of illegal acts, and the consequences will depend on the specific circumstances and the sufficiency of relevant evidence. However, we need to remind every citizen to always bear in mind the laws and regulations, consciously abide by the national laws, and do not touch the bottom line of the law, otherwise they will bear the corresponding legal responsibility.
