Li Yusheng, an attorney at Fidelity Law Firm, stated that the defendants in this case were charged with leaking state secrets, spying on and collecting state secrets, and money laundering. The maximum statutory penalty could have been 25 years in prison. However, the judge ultimately sentenced the three defendants to 10 years, 8 years and 2 months, and 4 years, respectively, which is not significantly different from previous court sentences in similar cases. Given the significant discrepancy between the judge's sentence and the prosecutor's specific request, and the significant impact this case has on national security, the prosecutor is likely to appeal.
