From helping to pick up the goods to selling everywhere

To make extra money, online ride-hailing drivers are in the quagmire of selling fake cigarettes

　　In the process of driving online car-hailing, I met the "big boss" who can make extra money. Who knows, this extra money business is actually selling fake cigarettes.

Faced with the temptation of interest, he finally failed to keep the bottom line of the law... Recently, a public prosecution was filed by the Shanghai Putuo District Procuratorate, and the court sentenced Gu to two years and three months in prison for selling fake and inferior products.

Open online car-hailing to meet "mysterious passengers"

　　At the beginning of February 2020, Gu picked up passenger Jiang when he opened an online car-hailing service.

Unlike the other passengers, this Jiang talked with him very enthusiastically.

In the meantime, when he learned that Gu’s economic situation was not optimistic, Jiang asked mysteriously: “Do you want to make extra money? I’ll give you 7,500 yuan a month.” Gu heard that, and immediately agreed, and then asked: “ Boss, what business do you do?" "A serious business." Jiang Mou replied.

In this way, the two added WeChat on the spot.

　　A week later, Jiang contacted Gu on WeChat and told him that he had prepared an elderly phone and a mobile phone card for him. These things were placed in the green belt at a certain intersection. Usually, the elderly phone must be turned off. Time to open the opportunity to notify him on WeChat.

At that time, Gu felt strange, and muttered in his heart: "How is this like acting in a movie? I seem to be a big boss, helping him deal with some ugly things." So he asked: "Why do you want to I use an elderly phone, I have a smart phone. Isn't this unnecessary?" Jiang replied that this was purely for the convenience of contact.

Although this reply did not convince Gu, he thought that he could make an extra 7,500 yuan a month, so Gu took back his mobile phone and waited patiently for his next instructions.

The profitable business is actually selling fake cigarettes

　　In May 2020, Jiang told Gu on WeChat that there will be goods in the near future, and then the logistics staff will contact Gu through the elderly machine.

A few days later, Gu received a call from the logistics staff.

On the same day, he received 14 boxes of goods. Because they were all sealed, he didn't know what was inside.

Subsequently, Gu delivered 14 boxes of goods to the destination according to the delivery address provided by Jiang, and then received cash rewards.

　　In June of the same year, during another transportation process, Jiang told Gu to unpack and inspect the goods. Gu found that the whole box was full of cigarettes. He smoked one, and the smell was wrong!

At this time, all the previous unusual actions flashed in his mind one by one, and Gu realized that the goods he was transporting were fake cigarettes.

However, shock is shocked. The temptation to earn 7500 yuan per month is too great.

Therefore, Gu knew that this was an illegal act, but still did it correctly, and even rented a warehouse specifically for the convenience of storing fake cigarettes.

　　After tasting the sweetness of ill-gotten wealth, his courage is getting bigger and bigger, and his appetite is not limited to storing and transporting fake cigarettes.

In order to obtain more benefits, Gu started to sell fake cigarettes to help open sales channels.

　Announcement after the incident

　　In August 2020, Mr. Wang, the owner of the supermarket, noticed that a man had parked the van in front of his supermarket.

After entering the store, the man did not buy anything, but walked straight to him and whispered that he had a source of cigarettes. They were made from tobacco discarded by tobacco companies. The price was much cheaper than outside. Passed a cigarette for him to taste.

After tasting it, Mr. Wang felt it was okay, so he took a box of cigarettes from him and left WeChat with each other.

After that, Mr. Wang began to sell the cigarette. In the following days, more than one customer reported to him that there was a problem with the cigarette, which was suspected of being a fake cigarette.

Later, when the man asked Mr. Wang again whether to purchase the goods, Mr. Wang refused.

　　This man is Gu.

Seeing that Mr. Wang didn't work here, Gu took aim at another supermarket and used the same method to successfully promote a few boxes of fake cigarettes.

　　In October 2020, Gu noticed that there was a policeman in the community. He was guilty of conscience and immediately informed Jiang, which eventually caused Jiang to escape.

Subsequently, the police arrested Gu on the spot and seized more than 3,000 cigarettes.

　　After arriving at the case, Gu confessed his crime truthfully.

From June 2020, Gu was employed by Jiang to illegally receive, store, and sell counterfeit and inferior cigarettes for profit-making purposes when he knew that Jiang was operating counterfeit cigarettes.

It is estimated that the value of counterfeit and inferior cigarettes seized for sale is more than 670,000 yuan.

A few days ago, after the Putuo District Procuratorate filed a public prosecution, the court made the above judgment against Gu.
