The "running score" of fast money is actually money laundering
Nanjing Drum Tower: Layered processing of the whole chain to crack down on a money laundering criminal gang of more than 30 people.
A 2,000 yuan fraudulent fund transfer led to a case involving more than 30 people "running points" money laundering crime, and the Gulou District Procuratorate of Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, carefully screened the main and accessory offenders, dealt with them in layers, and cracked down on the whole chain, so that telecommunications network fraudsters could get the punishment they deserved. Recently, the case was selected as a typical case of the procuratorate punishing telecommunications network fraud and related crimes in accordance with the law released by the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
In July 2021, someone reported to the Gulou Public Security Bureau, saying that he was defrauded of more than 30,000 yuan after chatting with strangers and friends online. After investigation, the public security organs found that 2,000 yuan of the 30,000 yuan defrauded money was transferred to Cai's bank card located in a certain place in Hainan, so they immediately went to Hainan to arrest Cai.
After Cai arrived at the case, he confessed that he met Wu when he was working, and Wu told him that there was a "running score" who made money quickly, and he only needed to provide a bank card, and the bank card had a commission of 100 yuan for every 10,000 yuan. Cai was very moved when he heard this, so he provided a bank card according to Wu's request.
According to Cai's confession, the public security organs successively arrested the "card head" Wu and his partners Zhong and Feng, and arrested 20 on-site transfer operators and other "canons" who provided cards like Cai. A money laundering gang with a strict division of labor, multi-level and specialization has surfaced. According to the investigators of the public security organs, "there are special people in the place where the card is supplied to command, operate the transfer and take care of the bookkeeping, and the flow of each card supply is millions of yuan, and there are many people who provide the card together." ”
Considering that the main place of the crime was in Hainan, which was thousands of miles away, the Gulou District Procuratorate decided to intervene in advance in order to fix the evidence in a timely manner and guide the public security organs to construct an evidence system from two aspects: the mode of crime committed by the "running points" gang and the amount of the crime.
After investigation, Zhong and Feng had provided a collection code to help others launder money, and after tasting the sweetness, in order to obtain greater benefits, the two came up with the idea of forming a "running score" team to work alone. Wu is responsible for recruiting "canon" and bringing it to the scene to supply cards, Zhong is responsible for docking with Shangjia and virtual currency dealers, and Feng is responsible for organizing and managing money laundering sites in Hainan.
After the company transfers the funds from telecommunication network fraud to the bank card of "Canon", it is transferred to the currency merchant through the WeChat, Alipay and other accounts of the "Kanon", and the currency merchant converts the funds into virtual currency and then returns to the previous home. There are more than 10 fixed members of the gang, including keyboard players who operate computers to connect with currency dealers, operators who operate "Canon" mobile phone transfers, and special personnel who are responsible for watching the market, keeping accounts, and leading people.
In order to evade the crackdown, the gang used temporarily rented hotels and clubs as money laundering dens, and the locations changed every day. In just over 10 days since the investigation was made, more than a dozen "qanon" people have been transferred, and more than 6 or 7 million yuan have been transferred, and more than 40 victims from all over the country have been transferred and laundered for a total of more than 100 yuan.
During the review and arrest stage, the procurator quickly thoroughly understood the facts of the case, sorted out the evidence, and found that Zhong, Feng, and Wu, as the organizers and planners, were subjectively vicious and that arrest was necessary, and successively approved the arrest of Zhong and Wu, and initiated the pursuit procedure for Feng, who had not been submitted for arrest.
After the case was transferred for review and prosecution, after repeated research and discussion, the procurator formulated a strategy of layered handling and full-chain crackdown. The organizers are to be found to be the principal offenders, and those who only receive a small amount of fixed remuneration and obey the command arrangements are to be found to be accomplices. In September 2022, the Gulou District Procuratorate prosecuted Zhong and others on suspicion of covering up and concealing criminal proceeds and aiding information network criminal activities. After trial, the court adopted the opinion of the procuratorate and sentenced the nine defendants to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from six months to five years and two months.
The procuratorial organs also discovered that there was a college student in the gang, and in line with the principle of combining punishment with rescue, urged him to return the stolen goods and make restitution, and then comprehensively considered that his role was relatively small, that he was an accomplice, that he had admitted guilt and accepted punishment, confessed, and actively made restitution.
Can we get our money back?"This is the primary concern of most victims. "The duties of procurators should not be limited to case review and public prosecution, but should also protect the lawful rights and interests of victims to the greatest extent. The prosecutor handling the case said.
In the course of handling cases, procurators actively guide criminal suspects to return stolen goods and make restitution. Through efforts, the suspects involved in the case all returned the stolen goods and made restitution to varying degrees, and all pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, and more than 600,000 yuan of stolen goods were recovered in the whole case, and the victims' losses were partially compensated.
