[Commentary] Recently, after several months of investigation, the Shandong police killed two criminal gangs that falsely issued VAT invoices, arrested 6 suspects, and seized a large number of fake seals, falsely opened and forged invoices and other criminal tools. Among them, there were 1891 fake seals seized alone. The purchase and false invoicing involved many enterprises in more than 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country. Two cases involved more than 30 billion yuan in value, and stolen invoices spread throughout the stadium. How did the Shandong police detect the two cases of such great value in just a few months?
[Commentary] In September 2019, according to the clues provided by the Economic Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Jinan Lixia Police, in conjunction with the tax inspection department, found a den of a criminal gang for invoicing in a certain community in Jinan.

At his doorstep, I found that there was a (abandoned) courier bag with a name called Zhang Jinda on it. This name was accompanied by a mobile phone number, which was the phone number used by the suspect when he committed the crime.
[Explanation] The police investigation found that the suspects in the den were Xiong Mou and others, the express bag was used by the criminal suspects to send invoices to the outside, and Zhang Jinda was the pseudonym of their crimes.

It was discovered that he (the suspect) had multiple pseudonyms. From the tax bureau's counter-examination, he discovered that he had registered dozens of companies operating false invoices here.
[Explanation] After the criminal gang illegally obtained the ID cards of others, 28 companies were registered in Jinan alone, and after receiving or purchasing invoices from other companies from the tax department, they were sent to coworkers in Huizhou, Guangdong by courier. According to the information on the express bag, the Jinan Lixia police immediately dispatched personnel to Huizhou City, Guangdong Province to investigate the case. With the cooperation of the local police, through the tracking and squatting of the criminal suspect, the task force found out the recipient on the express bag It was Zhan, and his gang was in Jilong Town, Huidong County.

It was found that the suspect sent 150 to 300 couriers every day. In each courier, sometimes it was an invoice, sometimes hundreds of invoices. Depending on the needs of the ticket purchaser, they provided them.
[Commentary] When investigating a gang of Zhan, the task force accidentally discovered that in Boluo County, more than 100 kilometers away from Jilong Town, there was a larger criminal gang that falsely issued VAT invoices.

More than 300 pieces of invoices (invoices) are sent every day, and even more than 700 pieces during the New Year. At that time, we first put down here and went to Boluo to investigate.
[Commentary] This is a picture taken by the police during the tracking of the criminal suspect. The suspect Yinmou, who is responsible for printing invoices and shipping, goes to the courier company every day to post falsely issued invoices to customers. And Yin Mou is the brother-in-law of the gang leader Shen Mou. After a thorough investigation, the police also found Shen's residence in a community on Longxi Avenue in Boluo County.

The gang has a long duration of crime, involving a wide network, a large number of chains, and a clear division of labor. In view of the seriousness of the case, the branch bureau, under the guidance of the municipal bureau, has determined the working ideas of controlling the collection of tickets, tracking and chasing down the line, and destroying the printing den .
[Explanation] After grasping the basic conditions and laws of these two criminal gangs, the Jinan police united with the local police to simultaneously launch net-collecting operations in Huidong, Boluo, and Jinan, Shandong. In the early morning of October 24, 2019, Jinan police released the suspect Zhan Moumin from Huizhou, Guangdong, and returned to Ji. Suspect Xiong was arrested and brought to justice in a community in Jinan on the evening of November 23, 2019. Two false invoicing cases involving more than 30 billion yuan in value were detected.
