Zhang Qingsong, Lu's attorney, says his client was not selling drugs to make profits.

"The Indian company offered preferential pricing to him, but we cannot take them as profits."

The attorney has also dismissed the credit card fraud charge, saying only those in illegal possession of up to five credit cards of other people will be penalized.
