Many crimes, fewer cases, difficult to prosecute: three challenges facing the fight

Involved in the amount of 3.8 billion yuan, illegal profit of tens of millions of yuan, Wonderful Life company chairman Tangqingnan and other people were sentenced to 3-10 years in prison. Some victims considered the court's decision to be lighter.

Reporter investigation found that, as the national crackdown intensified, the current pyramid scheme crime gradually to the network transfer, criminal practices are increasingly concealed, the fight against many difficulties. To this end, some investigators believe that the threshold should be lowered as soon as possible, the establishment of departmental information linkage mechanism to curb the network of crime momentum of pyramid schemes.

"The use of network means, so that the harm of MLM crime intensified, 裹胁 the number of victims of the rapid expansion of the people should be vigilant new trend." "Jiangxi Province People's Procuratorate Public prosecution, deputy director Dongfangxing told reporters, Wonderful Life company set up" the Pacific Direct purchase official network ", to carry out E-commerce as the name, luring the country millions of participation, will be confused with the normal sale of crime in the regular trade, the judicial cognizance brought a lot of trouble.

It is understood that the Criminal Law Amendment (vii) added the organization, the leadership of MLM activities crime, but in accordance with the current standards of prosecution, organization and leadership of MLM crime requirements of the Organization, the leadership of the MLM activities of more than 30 people and the level of more than three. However, because of the trans-regional characteristics of network MLM, combined with the tight organization, the pyramid-sale leaders captured by the grassroots handling agencies are mainly "director" or "parent" level, at the second or third level of the MLM level, and the leaders and organizers at the higher level are difficult to prosecute.

"Many crimes, fewer cases, more difficult to prosecute, the fight against MLM crime is facing the ' inverted triangle ' phenomenon." "The Procurator-General of Jiangxi Fuzhou Linchuan District People's Procuratorate who has been involved in the fight against MLM crime many times believes that, because of the difficulty of grasping the limits of the crime of selling MLM and the large space span and the difficulty of obtaining evidence, the crime of MLM is confronted by judicial means, which is faced with two major bottlenecks

In this regard, Dongfangxing that, on the one hand, should pass legislation, to reduce the threshold of legal strike, the active participants of MLM organizations should be included in organizing and leading the crime of MLM activities; On the other hand, we must establish a linkage mechanism to form a striking force and establish an information exchange mechanism through close cooperation between public, prosecutorial, law, Division, Finance and Communications departments, Realize the source to prevent the pyramid selling crime.
