The father and son who made their fortune by illegal quarrying suddenly became "enthusiastic" about the repair work of a landslide section. The truth behind it is that


　　the Mingxiu landslide road secretly picks red stones.

(The picture shows the quarrying site)

　　In June 2017, a minor collapse occurred in the roadbed near a quarry in Changshan County, Zhejiang Province. The local quarry owner Lao Tong's son Xiaotong took the initiative to organize personnel to "emergency repairs."

　　Three years later, the locals were surprised to find that the road section was still as it was before repairs.

It was not until April 16 this year that the Changshan County Court sentenced the child to three years and ten months in prison for the crime of illegal mining and fined 250,000 yuan. The local people suddenly realized that the child was originally building a plank road with others for mining. , Darkness Chen Cang.

　　The greed and the heart have been punished repeatedly

　　Tangdi Village, Huibu Town, Changshan County, is rich in a kind of ore commonly called "Red Stone". Because of its hard texture and beautiful appearance, the "Red Stone" of Tangdi Village is used in water conservancy and construction in Quzhou City, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province and surrounding areas. The industry is very popular and the price has not been low.

　　In the late 1980s, the old boy of Tangdi Village made a fortune by picking and selling "red stones". After years of business, he has accumulated a wealth of family background and has a small reputation in the local quarrying industry.

However, in 2011, due to factors such as open-pit mining, the government banned the mining license of the Laotong Quarry in accordance with the law.

　　The old boy who was accustomed to the huge profits of “red stones” could not bear it. In 2013, he organized a group of people to steal the “red stones” from the previous quarry for profit.

However, before long, the old boy was found by law enforcement officers, and was later sentenced to ten months in prison for illegal mining, suspended for one year, and fined 30,000 yuan.

　　Ordinarily, they have all been sentenced, and the lesson should be very profound.

However, the lustful old boy only stayed for two years. Starting in the first half of 2016, he hired personnel and machinery to pick up "red stones."

This time, Lao Tong also learned to "fight guerrillas" with law enforcement officers from the Land and Resources Department. As soon as the law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, Lao Tong led the pirates and went away, and when the wind passed, he robbed the quarrying stone... …

　　For this reason, law enforcement officers from the Land and Resources Department of Changshan County racked their brains and tried their best to stop the illegal harvesting of the old boy and his gang.

In the end, in early 2017, the land and resources department adopted joint law enforcement measures to cut off the power of Lao Tong’s quarry, making cutting machines and other illegal mining tools unable to operate, forcing Lao Tong to stop the "black hands."

　　Father and son partner darkly Chen Cang

　　In June 2017, due to rainfall and other factors, a section of the roadbed near the Laotong Quarry collapsed slightly, but it did not affect the passage of vehicles and pedestrians.

However, Lao Tong's son, Xiaotong, was extremely "enthusiastic" and organized personnel and machinery to prepare for "emergency repairs" on the collapsed section of the road.

　　Does the child want to do good deeds to return to his neighbors?

Do not!

It turned out that the child was influenced by his father and has been engaged in the construction industry for many years. He is familiar with the market of construction stones and has always coveted these "red stones" in the village.

He discovered that the mountain on the inner side of the landslide was connected to the quarry, and the reserves of "red stones" were considerable. He was inspired by him: he agreed with his friend Wu to let a private company act as the "owner" under the banner of a forest farm, and then let himself He and Wu came to "contract" the implementation of the emergency repair project. When the machinery and personnel for the "emergency repair" of the roadbed enter the site, he and Wu can direct the excavator to go around the top of the mountain for quarrying operations.

Later, Xiaotong and others went through the formalities for electricity use in the name of rushing to repair the road.

　　When everything was ready, the boy asked his father, Lao Tong, to summon the "old team" that had been pirated before, and all entered the field, and then took over the command of the excavation, cutting, transportation, and sales afterwards.

Soon, trucks of "Red Stones" were sold to Changshan County, Kaihua County, and Kecheng District, Quzhou City.

　　After the law enforcement inspectors of the local land and resources department discovered the mining situation in the area, Xiaotong and Wu “reasonably” explained that the purpose was to repair roads, eliminate safety hazards, and interfere with law enforcement by “changing” the construction plan and falsely paying resource fees.

Until July 2020, when the father-son partner of the old boy and boy boy was arrested, the top of the mountain had been excavated and cut clean, but the section of the road that was "repaired" was still the way it was when it collapsed three years ago.

　　Prosecutors intervened to sever the black hand

　　On June 22, 2020, the Changshan County Procuratorate received clues from the masses that Xiaotong and others had long-term and large-scale pirating of "red stones" to damage the environment, and Wang Zhihong, the deputy procurator of the court, led a team to conduct an inspection.

Through on-site investigations, visits and investigations, the prosecutors quickly saw through the tricks of Xiaotong and others who "pirated and harvested in the name of building roads".

On the 24th of the same month, the court docked with the Ministry of Land and Resources and recommended that they fix the relevant evidence and transfer the case to the public security organ for investigation.

Subsequently, the public security organs successively arrested Xiaotong, Wu, Lao Tong, and more than 10 people including Lu, Ning, Ma, and Liu who had repeatedly assisted Lao Tong in plundering.

　　At the beginning of the case, Xiaotong, Wu and others refused to explain the facts of their crimes. The old boy who was released on bail pending trial because of a serious illness also tried his best to interfere with the investigation.

After understanding the situation, the undertaking prosecutor intervened in advance to guide the investigation of the case, convened three relevant personnel from the public security, land and resources, forestry and other departments to conduct case analysis and exchanges, and guided the police handling the case to seize more than 8,000 tons of mineral products involved in the case according to law. Key evidence such as a personal account book and more than 10 mobile phones, and it is recommended that the investigative agency seize the property purchased by the child during the fraudulent acquisition.

　　In the case of Xiaotong and Wu’s “zero confession”, the undertaking prosecutor made a decision to approve the arrest of Xiaotong and Wu, and sorted out 21 supplementary investigation opinions. It is recommended that the public security organs thoroughly investigate the timing of the illegal mining, the types of minerals, and Fund flow and so on.

　　After the case was transferred for review and prosecution, in order to find out the value of the minerals illegally mined by Xiaotong and others, the undertaking prosecutors strictly reviewed the ore block rate of the mining sites involved in the case and the market prices of the 4 mineral products involved in the case, and supplemented them by themselves. The investigation finally determined that the value of the mineral products illegally mined by Xiaotong and others amounted to more than 2.4 million yuan.

At the same time, by checking the flow of funds of the persons involved, it was discovered that Ning and others were also suspected of concealing and concealing criminal facts of criminal proceeds in addition to illegal mining.

　　On March 4 this year, the court filed a public prosecution against the children on suspicion of illegal mining.

Faced with the evidence held by the procuratorial organ, before the trial, the boy finally pleaded guilty and pleaded guilty, and entrusted his family to withdraw all his personal illegal gains of 660,000 yuan and paid a fine deposit.

　　Therefore, the case involves ecological and environmental protection and has a significant impact on the local area. On the afternoon of April 16, the Changshan County Court formed a 7-person collegiate panel to open a hearing on the illegal mining case of children, and invited Quzhou City, Changshan County People’s Congress deputies and CPPCC members and Tangdi Village More than 100 people including villagers and representatives of the water conservancy and construction industry attended the court hearing.

　　At the court hearing, prosecutors carried out legal education from multiple perspectives such as family accounts, economic accounts, and free accounts. The children shed tears of regret at the scene, and the family members who attended were also deeply educated.

The court sentenced the child to three years and ten months in prison for the crime of illegal mining and fined 250,000 yuan in the first instance.

　　It is reported that in the future, the court will prosecute Wu, Lao Tong, and his "old team" personnel for illegal mining in accordance with the law, and pursue them for criminal responsibility.

At the same time, the court has connected with relevant departments on the issue of compensation for ecological damage and restoration of the mining sites involved, and will support prosecution or initiate civil public interest litigation as appropriate to ensure that the principle of “whoever destroys, restores” is implemented, so that the damaged The mountain is gradually restored.
