Next Media requests the group executive director to retrieve the documents in 42 days to read the documents

The police entered the Next Media Building in August last year to search for evidence and seized a number of documents.

Li Zhiying, the founder of Next Media Group, and Huang Weiqiang, the then Chief Executive Officer, filed a petition requesting the police to return information related to news materials and "legal professional confidentiality". The court ordered the police to submit all the information to both parties for review.

Huang Weiqiang applied to the court today (10th), asking for another 6 months to read the information.

However, after hearing the submission, the judge only approved the 42-day grace period.

Huang claimed that there are still 5 items that have not been read

Huang Weiqiang, the then Chief Executive Officer of Next Media, who applied for the extension this time, applied for a 6-month extension because there are still 5 items of information that have not been read.

However, the Department of Justice, representing the Director of the Police Department, responded that Huang Weiqiang has given enough time to deal with it, and the other plaintiffs in the case have completed the review process.

The representative of the Department of Justice also pointed out that the fraud case involving Huang Weiqiang will be heard again in the District Court in December this year, and a preliminary trial will be conducted in February next year. If Huang Weiqiang is approved to postpone the trial for 6 months, the trial may be affected.

The official said that it was the last chance last time

After hearing the submissions, the judge pointed out that this is the sixth time for Huang Weiqiang to apply for an extension. The last hearing approved the extension for 21 days. It has shown that it is the last opportunity and failed to give an understanding of why it needs to be extended for another 6 months in order to read the remaining 5 items. The data, and Huang Weiqiang's body has recovered, does not affect his review of the data.

The judge finally refused to approve the 6-month extension, but approved Huang to be granted a 42-day grace period.

The judge also issued an order that Huang must pay the defense costs.

The judge also issued an order that Huang must complete the relevant procedures before the deadline, otherwise his claim will be sentenced to lose.
