Recently, the Jinniu Court concluded a case of trafficking in N-ethylfluamine, and the defendants Zhu and Gu constituted the crime of drug trafficking, and the court sentenced the two defendants to fixed-term imprisonment and fines in accordance with the law.
In the case, the defendants Zhu Moumou and Gu Moumou conspired to sell "** two people who sold 3 small bags of white powder (net weight totaling 3.) to witnesses on October 24, 202342 grams), collected 3,000 yuan of drug money, and was immediately blocked by the police at the scene. After the incident, the police searched 11 bags of white powder (net weight totaled 11.) from the defendant Zhu's rental house24 grams). After identification, the above 14 bags of white powder were detected with N-ethylfluamine.
It is understood that after the drug is commonly known as "**", the criminals manufacture fluamine to replace the commonly known as "improved", although there is only "a word difference", but the toxicity of fluamine is not reduced. In 2021, fluamine was listed as a new type of drug, but in order to escape the crackdown, criminals modified the chemical structure of fluamine into N-ethyl fluamine, which is not currently controlled by the state, which has a similar chemical structure to fluamine, and the symptoms after abuse are similar to those of fluamine, which will cause cognitive impairment such as decreased learning ability and inattention, psychotic disorders that produce hallucinations and delusional states, and can also lead to symptoms such as emotional loss of control and abnormal behavior. N-ethylfluamine continues the fundamental properties of fluamine, but it has jumped out of the regulatory catalogue due to the "change of vest", which brings certain difficulties to the application of law.
After trial, the court held that although the N-ethylfluamine involved in this case had not yet been listed, the two defendants both regarded it as a state-controlled *** trafficking, constituting the crime of drug trafficking, but it was an attempt to commit a crime, and the punishment could be mitigated or reduced by comparison with the completed offense. At the same time, defendants Zhu XX and Gu XX truthfully confessed their crimes after they were brought into the case, and voluntarily admitted guilt and accepted punishment, and may be given a lenient or lenient punishment. Based on the facts of the case and the degree of harm to society, the court sentenced the defendant Zhu XX to seven months imprisonment and a fine of 5,000 yuan for the crime of drug trafficking; Defendant Gu XX was sentenced to six months imprisonment and fined 3,000 yuan for the crime of drug trafficking.
What the judge said
In recent years, new types of drugs have continued to emerge, and crimes involving new types of drugs have occurred from time to time, and many criminals have tried in vain to exploit legal loopholes to achieve their illegal goals, and the people's courts have "zero tolerance" for drug-related crimes. The judge hereby reminded the general public to keep their eyes open, distinguish between right and wrong, refuse drugs, and refrain from taking hallucinogenic substances for the sake of excitement, so as to jointly maintain social harmony and stability.
