Relevant legal provisions.

According to Article 280 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, whoever forges the seal of a company, enterprise, public institution or people's organization shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, short-term detention, controlled release or deprivation of political rights, and shall also be fined;where the circumstances are serious, the sentence is between three and seven years imprisonment.

It should be noted that the crime of forging the seals of companies, enterprises, public institutions, and people's organizations is an act, and as long as the act of forging the seals of the above-mentioned entities is carried out and no actual harm is required, it constitutes a crime and will be subject to criminal prosecution.

Privately engraved the seal of the branch, and the person in charge was sentenced to one year and two months.

If a branch engraving a seal without the approval of the group company and issuing a clear written authorization document, it is illegal and privately engraved, and its behavior constitutes the crime of forging the seal.

Li XX, the person in charge of a branch in Hebei Province, was convicted of forging the company's seal in September 2023 and sentenced to one year and two months in prison and fined 60,000 yuan for carving the seal of the branch without the authorization of the group company.

The red line of the law must not be crossed, and you must not defy the law.

The group company hereby warns the heads of all branches that the legal red line cannot be crossed, and do not take chances and challenge the authority of the law by defying the law!The consequences of violating the criminal law are not simply imprisonment, but also many hidden negative effects, not to mention that the perpetrator himself is in prison, and it will also have a significant impact on the future development of family members, which is really more than worth the loss. It is hoped that the person in charge of each branch must strictly abide by the relevant regulations of the group company on the management of branch seals, and standardize the engraving and use of seals. Do not engrave in private, so as not to involve criminal liability!
