Driven by the desire for profit, they sell new drugs for profit, and they are clever in a vain attempt to "bleach" drug money. On November 1, the Liangxi District Procuratorate of Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, prosecuted Wang and Zhou, criminal suspects who sold state-controlled psychotropic drugs through an extranet platform and used third-party payment software to transfer criminal proceeds by guiding the investigation and collection of evidence, sorting out account information, and digging deep into the facts of the case.
Mystery account transfers are frequent
Wang through an experience of buying drugs abroadIt is found that the second-class psychotropic drugs controlled by the state such as Sinosi have a large demand on the Internet, and there is a large difference between online drug purchase and drug purchase through formal channels. Although they knew that the above-mentioned psychotropic drugs were addictive and could be used to replace drugs or be used for criminal acts such as **, under the huge business opportunity, Wang and Zhou still decided to take a risk, and Zhou used other people's identity information to prescribe drugs in major hospitals in Wuhan, Hubei, while Wang sold psychotropic drugs such as Sinosi through overseas **.
On May 31, the public security organs transferred the case to the Liangxi District Procuratorate of Wuxi City for review and prosecution. During the review and prosecution stage, the prosecutor in charge of the investigation found that the flow of drug funds was combingWang's Alipay account continued to remit funds in February, but no traces of buyers were found to transfer inAmong them, a second-hand trading platform account is the most frequently transferred.
The procurator in charge sorted out the flow of drug funds.
During Wang's sale of psychotropic drugs such as Sinosi, why did a second-hand trading platform transfer money to Wang's account so frequently?What kind of account is this?The records of the capital transactions between the buyer and the seller have gone to ** againThese suspicions have aroused the alarm of prosecutorsIs there a hidden clue to the crime of "self-money laundering"?
The Liangxi District Procuratorate promptly guided the public security organs to broaden their investigation ideas, and suggested that the public security organs supplement the facts of the money laundering crime and transfer them for prosecution, and at the same time guide the public security organs to comprehensively obtain Wang's capital account and carry out an investigation into the buyer's payment method, so as to further improve the evidence chain of the money laundering crime involved in the case.
The truth about money laundering has emerged
After an in-depth investigation and detailed interrogation of the suspects, prosecutors foundEvery time Wang takes drugs, the second-hand trading platform account under his name will sell a shopping card, which is equivalent to 94% off the amount of drug funds, and on the same day, the amount will be transferred to Wang's Alipay account in the name of a second-hand trading platform account. At this point, the truth that Wang had no financial transactions with the buyer gradually surfaced.
It turned out that in order to cover up and conceal the illegal gains from drug trafficking and evade legal sanctions, Wang asked the buyer to buy a shopping card from a well-known e-commerce platform and provide him with the card password, and then he gave the shopping card to a second-hand trading platform at a 94% discount, and the funds obtained were transferred to the Alipay account under his name, and then transferred to the overseas account under his name. Since February 2023, he has received 2,300 yuan in drug proceeds in this way six times.
In addition, Wang also asked the buyer to pay in the form of Alipay password red envelope three times. After the buyer provided the red envelope password to Wang, Wang entrusted another person to collect it on his behalf, and after the other person collected a 10% handling fee on behalf of the collected money, he transferred the money to Wang's account. Wang transferred 750 yuan of drug money through this method.
On November 1, the procuratorate prosecuted Wang on suspicion of trafficking and transporting drugs and money laundering.
Break the "zero confession" deadlock
I didn't know that selling Sinos constituted drug trafficking, and I didn't know that anyone bought it as a substitute for drugsOn June 9, another suspect, Zhou, always insisted that he and Wang sold drugs in partnership only to help those who were inconvenient to prescribe drugs, and did not know that this medicine could also replace drugs.
In this case, it was Wang who directly sold to the buyer, and the relevant chat records, transfer records, express delivery records and other objective evidence can only confirm the criminal facts of Wang's trafficking and transportation of drugs, and Zhou, as a drug provider, did not participate in the sale of drugs or the settlement and circulation of funds.
In view of the dual attributes of drugs and drugs in this type of psychotropic substance, if the criminal suspect insists on denying that he subjectively knew the drug nature of Sinosi and that the drugs he provided were sold by Wang and flowed into the drug addicts, and there is no objective evidence to corroborate it, it is difficult to determine that it constitutes a crime.
Facing the seemingly innocent Zhou,The prosecutor combed, reconstructed and judged the existing evidence, focusing on the analysis of Wang's five accounts on the overseas ** platform and the chat records of these accounts with dozens of buyers. Because the provider of the drug is Zhou, Wang is bound to discuss the variety and quantity of supply with the drug provider before and after establishing a purchase and sales relationship with the buyer, and after combing through layers of combing, the prosecutor found that on February 19, Wang had a very suspicious chat record with a netizen named "Yue".
Yue said: "It's hard for our group to buy it, otherwise who will look for you." The ones that come here to buy are all substitutions, because it's hard to buy serious goods now. Let's not talk about it, I'll go high. ”
The prosecutor found that there were screenshots of the above-mentioned chat records in Wang's mobile phone, as well as a screenshot of the chat records between Zhou and Wang on the same day. Zhou said: "If he is too young, you ask him to buy Laura, and Laura is much stronger than him." "The prosecutor judged that the screenshots of the chat records were generally taken for the sake of **others, and Wang was likely to take the screenshots of the two chat records for each other.
Sure enough, Wang's confession confirmed this conjecture.
As for the words "Jinda" and "high" mentioned by the prosecutor during the interrogation, until August 25, Zhou still tried to avoid their subjective understanding, saying that "Jinda" means that the drug has good efficacy, and "high" means going to a bar.
On the basis of a comprehensive review of the evidence in the case, the procurator formulated a thorough interrogation plan, making full use of the plea leniency system to effectively alleviate Zhou's antagonistic emotions and make him fully realize that luck is not advisable. On September 25, Zhou finally admitted that he knew that Wang's sales group was "addicts", and at the same time actively promoted lorazepam.
On November 1, the court prosecuted the criminal suspect Zhou on suspicion of trafficking and transporting drugs.
