Recently, Shenyang police have successively destroyed three money laundering and "running" criminal gangs that returned to China from overseas fraud dens, arrested 20 criminal suspects, and seized 163 bank cards, 50 mobile phones and 6 computers involved. At present, more than 170 cases have been initially verified, involving many provinces and cities across the country, involving a total amount of 210 million yuan.
Card-breaking clues lead to "money laundering" transfer stations, tracing them layer by layer and cutting off the interest chain of "running points"
At the beginning of April 2021, Shenyang police found that a bank card under Qu Moumou (female, 46 years old) involved a false investment fraud case in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The police summoned Qu Moumou to the public security organs according to law. Upon inquiry, Qu Moumou confessed to the illegal facts of selling bank cards and confessed to the criminal suspect Liang Moumou (male, 27 years old) who bought bank cards.
On April 13, the police handling the case arrested Liang in his home. After the trial, Liang confessed the fact that he bought and sold bank cards from 2020, and helped Han and others to transfer funds involved in fraud and "run points" to profit from money laundering. Upon learning of this situation, Shenyang police immediately conducted an in-depth study on the "Paofen" money laundering gang, and organized police to arrest members of the gang overnight. Eight suspects, including Han Mou (male, 33 years old), were arrested on the spot in the Holiday European Community of Hutai Town, xinmin city, and 22 mobile phones and 45 bank cards were seized.
According to the criminal suspect Han, in 2018, he met a Xiamen man abroad, who was the general manager of the local online gambling money laundering gang. Han followed the man to learn online gambling money laundering methods in the local area. In 2020, after Han returned to China, he set up a money laundering team in China, continued to provide money laundering services for the man, and earned handling fees from it. The total amount of funds involved was more than 70 million yuan, from which he illegally profited more than 1.3 million yuan. The team has a clear division of labor. Some people are responsible for acquiring bank cards, some are responsible for dispatching orders from their homes, some are responsible for implementing operations, and others are responsible for supervision and management. According to the different division of labor, Han is responsible for paying a fixed salary and commission every month.
At present, nine suspects, including Han, have been criminally detained by Shenyang police according to law. The case is under further investigation.
Gathering idlers, hiding in residential areas, serving fraud gangs and earning ill-gotten gains.
On April 15, 2021, when Shenyang police analyzed the funds involved in fraud, they found that many defrauded funds were transferred through the bank card under the name of Lin (male, 23 years old). After further work, the police found that the bank cards of Gao (male, 32 years old) and Yan (female, 25 years old), who had close contacts with Lin, also involved many fraud cases, and then judged that the three were a money laundering criminal gang. Subsequently, through in-depth research, Shenyang police found out that the gang provided "money laundering" services for transferring fraudulent funds for fraudulent dens located overseas, with a daily capital flow of up to 2 million yuan. At the same time, after secret investigation, the police handling the case quickly found out the foothold of three people in a certain district of Tiexi District, Shenyang. At about 17: 00 on April 15, the police investigating the case arrested three people who were committing crimes on the spot, and seized 17 mobile phones, 6 computers, 11 mobile phone cards and 68 bank cards.
After the trial, the suspect Gao confessed that he had been engaged in telecommunication network fraud activities abroad. After returning to China in 2019, Gao used a communication software to continue to hook up with overseas fraud dens, and gathered Lin and his girlfriend Yan to buy bank cards, rented a house in a certain district of Kangping County to build a den, and provided "running points" for fraud gangs. The money laundering service involved nearly 90 million yuan, and three people illegally profited more than 1.8 million yuan from it.
At present, three suspects, including Gao, have been criminally detained by the Shenyang police according to law, and the case is under further investigation.
Card sellers act as accomplices of fraudsters, run away from customers and become executioners of "killing pig dishes"
In March 2021, Shenyang police received a clue from the Ministry of Public Security that two bank cards handled by Jiang Moumou (male, 37 years old) in a bank involved many telecom network fraud cases and quickly arrested Jiang Moumou. After the trial, Jiang confessed that he had handled the bank card many times and then introduced the criminal fact of selling the card to others through the "middleman".
Subsequently, the police found out the true identity of the "middleman" Zhang (male, 24 years old) through careful investigation, and arrested Zhang and Dong (male, 25 years old) and Li Moyang (male, 29 years old) who were plotting to buy bank cards with Zhang in a hotel in Tiexi District, Shenyang on April 12.
According to Zhang and others, the police seized five suspects, including Li Mohe (male, 25 years old) and Wei Moumou (male, 31 years old), in Tiexi District and Shenhe District of Shenyang on the same day, and seized 50 bank cards and 11 mobile phones.
After investigation, the criminal suspects Li Mohe and Wei Moumou have been engaged in criminal activities for a long time in overseas "killing pig plates" fraud dens. In November 2020, after they returned to China, they set up money laundering teams in Shenyang and Mudanjiang respectively, and developed Dong Mou and Li Moyang to buy bank cards for them. Li Mohe was responsible for contacting the overseas "killing pig plate" fraud dens, receiving money laundering tasks, and helping the fraud group transfer more than 40 million yuan in just a few months.
At present, eight suspects, including Li Mohe, have been criminally detained by the Shenyang police according to law, and the case is under further investigation.
The so-called "running points" means using bank accounts or payment accounts to help criminals transfer funds and earn commissions from them, resulting in a large number of fraudulent funds flowing abroad.
The police reminded: Don’t sell or lend personal bank accounts for short-term profits. Once they are used by criminals for fraud, online gambling or other illegal crimes, they will not only become "accomplices" of crimes, but will also be investigated for legal responsibility according to law, which may also lead to other people’s hard-earned money and pension money being wasted, causing irreparable property losses. If you go astray for temporary interests and take shortcuts to make money, you must bear legal responsibility. (CCTV reporter Li Chengze)
