The number of youth "criminal crimes" surges
Weak awareness of the rule of law and the psychology of profit-seeking and following the crowd have become the "fuse"
26-year-old Zhang Ming (pseudonym), in a short period of time, cooperated with others to open 10 companies in one go, and the accounts of several companies were suspected of collecting money from telecom and cybercrime.
Zhang Ming was finally sentenced to one year and two months in prison and a fine of 15,000 yuan for the crime of helping information network criminal activities (hereinafter referred to as the "crime of aiding trust").
According to Zhang Ming's confession, he served as the legal representative, shareholder or supervisor of 10 companies, but the registration procedures of all the companies were provided by the other party.
Zhang Ming handed over all the company's business licenses and corporate accounts to the other party, and the other party was responsible for Zhang Ming's board and lodging expenses during this period, and falsely promised to apply for a loan of 1 million yuan for him.
Regarding Zhang Ming's case, Sun Fei of the Second Procuratorate of the People's Procuratorate of Dongcheng District, Beijing pointed out that Article 287-2 of my country's "Criminal Law" stipulates that: knowing that others use information networks to commit crimes, provide Internet access for their crimes , server hosting, network storage and other technical support, or provide advertising promotion, payment settlement and other assistance, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and shall also or only be fined.
"Since October 2020, the public security departments have carried out a unified 'card breaking action', focusing on cracking down on crimes in the black and gray industry chain that provide bank cards and mobile phone cards for telecom and cyber crimes. Cases of young people like Zhang Ming committing the crime of 'credit aid' The number of cases has surged, and the number of cases that provide payment and settlement assistance is the largest, which has changed from infrequent and occasional to common and frequent." Sun Fei believes that most of the young people involved in "crime of trust" cases are mainly post-90s, and the way of committing crimes is as follows Selling, renting, lending one's own bank or third-party payment account to provide financial settlement assistance for telecommunication cybercrime.
What are the reasons that induce young people to commit the crime of "faith"?
According to Sun Fei's analysis, the main reason is that the young people involved in the case do not have a strong sense of the rule of law, and they do not fully understand that the act of providing their own accounts may violate the criminal law.
"Profit-seeking and conformity are also the triggers. They think that selling cards is quick to make money, and there are people around who sell cards like this, thinking that they can do the same."
In Sun Fei's view, preventing young people from falling into the quagmire of "credit aid" requires joint efforts from multiple parties. Law enforcement and judicial departments should work with banks and third-party payment institutions to strengthen prior prevention and policy supervision; guide young people to establish reasonable labor remuneration , the concept of living within our means; strengthen key publicity for key groups, and enhance the effectiveness of law popularization publicity.
"Take the frequent telecommunication and network fraud crimes as an example, when you are employed, beware of online scams of single-handling type; when making friends, beware of pig-killing online fraud; when applying for online loans, beware of encountering fake websites; when shopping online, beware of impersonation after-sales fraud behavior." Sun Fei suggested that young people should take the initiative to study the law, enhance their awareness of the rule of law, purify the circle of friends and friends, and avoid becoming an accomplice in cybercrime.
