Recently, the People's Court of Nanxiong City, Guangdong Province heard a case: at the end of December 2019, the victim Li found Du and asked him to help release her husband who was suspected of a criminal offense from the detention center, and Du still promised to handle bail pending trial for her husband when she knew that she was not able to handle it, and asked Li for 380,000 yuan. In February 2020, the victim Qiu heard that Li had asked Du to help "fish people", and also asked Du to help "fish out" her husband Wu, who was suspected of committing a criminal offense, and transferred 800,000 yuan to let Du "fish people". In May 2020, when the "fishing for people" was fruitless, Qiu and Li repeatedly asked Du to return the money, but Du said that he could continue to operate it, and refused to return the money for various reasons.
After trial, the court held that the defendant Du's conduct had constituted the crime of fraud and should be punished. The victims in this case, Li X and Qiu X, intended to use illegal means to exempt their relatives who were detained on suspicion of committing a crime from criminal punishment, so their assets obtained by fraud should be confiscated. In accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the court made a judgment that the defendant Du was guilty of fraud and was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment and a fine of 100,000 yuan; In accordance with law, 1.18 million yuan of defendant Du's illegal gains were recovered and confiscated.
