China News Service, Xuzhou, May 22 (Reporter Zhu Zhigeng) Affected by the epidemic, many companies are producing scarce materials such as masks for melt-blown cloth. The criminals took advantage of the opportunity to refill them well and used unqualified melt-blown cloths to pretend to be qualified products. On May 22, the Xuzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau held a press conference on the "Hanfeng No. 1" crackdown on centralized and unified action, and announced that the bureau had cracked a fraud case using the epidemic material shortage, and arrested 6 suspects. The value of the case was 3 million yuan .
In mid-April, Mr. Zhang was entrusted to find manufacturers of 95-level meltblown fabrics for several mask factories in Anqing, Quanzhou, Dongguan, Shenzhen and other places to produce KN95 medical masks. Mr. Zhang met the Xuzhou native Sun Mou who claimed to have supplies through the Internet. Then bought 5 tons of meltblown cloth from Sun at a price of 440,000 yuan per ton, and paid the deposit through mobile banking, WeChat, etc. on April 21. Subsequently, the manufacturers who purchased the melt-blown fabrics successively charged a total of 3 million yuan into the accounts of the melt-blown fabric manufacturers and middlemen.
After the goods were sent to the mask factory, the manufacturer inspected and found that the so-called "95" meltblown fabric filtration rate was only 8% to 30%, which was far below the 95% meltblown fabric filtration rate of 95% or more, so it refused to accept goods.

The police investigation of the task force found that after receiving the order information from Mr. Zhang, Mr. Sun found Zhao and Ji. The two contacted Gongmou, a Danyang man in Zhenjiang, and Gongmou found two local manufacturers of meltblown fabrics, Chenmou and Zhangmou, from Danyang, and purchased the corresponding quantity of meltblown fabrics at a price of 380,000 yuan per ton.
After Zhao, Ji and other middle-level merchants overweight, the mask factory finally had to prepay the price of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan per ton. Zhao, Ji and others earned 20,000 to 50,000 per ton. Differences in yuan.
It is understood that the first batch of melt-blown cloth manufacturers found that they did not meet the quality requirements after inspection, so they refused to accept the goods and fed back the pictures of the melt-blown cloth and inspection video to Sun. "You will receive the goods first, and then I will find you a qualified source." Sun used this as an excuse to pervert each other, and in the case of knowing that the meltblown cloth is a poor quality product, still in the name of "95 grade meltblown cloth" Continue to supply to several other mask factories.

It wasn't until a mask factory rejected the inspection and contacted Mr. Zhang directly that Mr. Zhang discovered that he was deceived by buying meltblown cloth. On April 26, Mr. Zhang quickly went to the police station of the Pailou Police Station of the Gulou Public Security Bureau of Xuzhou City to call the police. After various investigations and evidence collections, the Xuzhou Gulou police went to Danyang, Quanzhou and other places and arrested six suspects including Sun Mou on May 19.
Suspect Chen explained that his factory did not originally produce meltblown fabrics. Due to the epidemic situation, the business was stalled, so he purchased two machines for producing meltblown fabrics in mid-April. Since there were no skilled workers, Chen Mou learned the process by himself . The machine could not be shut down after being turned on. Chen had not closed his eyes for 4 days and 4 nights, but the meltblown cloth he made was still unqualified.
Due to the suspected crime of producing or selling fake and inferior products, at present, four persons including Sun Mou have been detained in accordance with the law, Chen Mou and Zhao Mou have been subject to criminal coercive measures according to law. (Finish)
