Recently, the Beijing Internet Court reported that in the trial of Yang Zi’s infringement of reputation rights, it was found that the defendant Zhang Mou had forged evidence and fined Zhang 100,000.
In May 2020, Yang Zi claimed that Zhang had repeatedly made statements that were inconsistent with the facts and detrimental to his reputation on his Weibo account registered under his real name, and brought Zhang to the Beijing Internet Court on the grounds that his reputation was infringed. In the court, Zhang said that his ID card and mobile phone had been lost, and the Weibo account involved was not registered by himself.
Several pieces of certification materials submitted by Zhang to the court with the official seal of the public security organ and the signature of the civilian police all claimed that Zhang had called the police because he lost his mobile phone and ID card. To further verify the evidence, the judge sent letters of assistance to the two public security organs. Shortly afterwards, the public security organ returned a letter confirming that the certification materials provided by Zhang were not issued by the local public security organ, and the seals affixed by it were not affixed by the local public security organ. The court combined with the reply that the evidence provided by Zhang Mou was forged.
The court held that Zhang forged multiple certification materials of the public security organ and insisted that his evidence was true during the court trial. His behavior seriously hampered the court’s trial of the case. The circumstances were extremely serious, which constituted the forgery of important evidence and prevented the people’s court from hearing the case. Zhang made a decision to fine 100,000 yuan.
