Recently, the Shijingshan District People's Court in Beijing tried a dramatic fraud case. The defendant Li's mother, Mrs. Tian, turned out to be the victim of another fraud case. This discovery is embarrassing, the reason why the old man was deceived was out of deep affection for his son, hoping to reduce the sentence of his son who committed fraud through trust.
Li is suspected of impersonating soldiers of the fire brigade and personnel of the Emergency Management Bureau, using his relationship to "settle affairs" for others, and defrauding others of more than 30 yuan of property. After contacting Li's mother, Mrs. Tian, the judge hoped that she would be able to make restitution to the victim.
However, Mrs. Tian claimed that she had no money and was unwilling to make restitution. After communication with the judge, Mrs. Tian finally said that she was only willing to pay 9,000 yuan. In January 2022, the Shijingshan Court found Li guilty of fraud and sentenced him to seven years and six months in prison. Li was dissatisfied and appealed.
However, when the judge tried Li's case, he discovered an unexpected fact: Mrs. Tian was also the victim in another case, and she was deceived because she wanted to reduce her son's sentence under the pretext of a relationship. After Li appealed, Mr. Tian inquired too much and wanted to find a relationship to reduce his son's punishment. A friend introduced her to a self-proclaimed "capable man" He Mou, claiming that he could commute Li's sentence and get him out of prison.
He claimed that 300,000 yuan was needed to reduce the sentence, and signed a "fishing agreement" with Mrs. Tian, promising to reduce Li's sentence for half a year, and promised to refund the money if it was not done. Mrs. Tian transferred 300,000 yuan to He several times, but in the end, she waited for the final judgment of the First Intermediate People's Court and realized that she had been deceived.
After the trial, it was ascertained that in addition to defrauding Mrs. Tian's money, He also defrauded multiple victims of money in the same way, with a total amount of more than 50 yuan. In the end, He was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison, deprived of political rights for two years, and fined 100,000 yuan for fraud.
The judge said that if Mrs. Tian could use the 300,000 yuan she was defrauded to help her son return compensation to the victim, the court could give Li a lenient punishment according to the circumstances. However, Mrs. Tian chose to go the wrong way, not only failed to save her son, but also fell into the trap of **.
I'd rather let ** cheat 300,000 than return it, and suffer for myself.
The son defrauded 300,000 yuan, and the mother was only willing to return 9,000
