Since March this year, the "Three-Year Action Plan for Combating and Governing Money Laundering Crimes" jointly issued by the central bank and other 11 departments has been fully implemented.

The action plan requires that all departments jointly increase efforts to punish crimes, and at the same time emphasizes that the whole society should raise the public's anti-money laundering awareness.

So, what does anti-money laundering have to do with our lives?

Wang Mouxu, a citizen of Zibo, Shandong, runs a small daily necessities business. He was convicted of money laundering because he helped a friend transfer an account.

　　This is from two years ago.

At that time, it was his friend Han Moujun who asked Wang Mouxu to transfer money. This Han Moujun was a cadre of the local maternal and child health care hospital.

Wang Mouxu said that one day Han Moujun found himself and said that he would use his bank card. He hesitated at that time, but the relationship was good, and he gave the bank card to Han Moujun without much thought.

　　That afternoon,

500,000 yuan was transferred from Wang Mouxu's bank account, and then Wang Mouxu transferred the 500,000 yuan to another account designated by Han Moujun at the request of Han Moujun.

He soon forgot about it after that.

　　In 2021, Han Moujun's corruption and bribery incident occurred.

The flow of funds tracked by the case handling team showed that Han Moujun asked the briber to transfer 500,000 yuan of bribes to the account of his friend Wang Mouxu, and then asked Wang Mouxu to transfer it to the account of his wife Wang Mou.

The day after Han Moujun was placed under lien, his wife exchanged the 500,000 yuan in US dollars and remitted it overseas.

After confirming the bribe, the prosecution filed a money laundering charge against Han Moujun's wife and Wang Mouxu.

　　The People's Court of Linzi District, Zibo City held that the

defendant Wang Mouxu knew that it was the proceeds of the crime of accepting bribes by others, and in order to conceal its source and nature, he assisted in the transfer of funds through transfer, and his behavior constituted the crime of money laundering.

He was sentenced

to six months in prison, suspended for one year

, and a

fine of 50,000 yuan due to the circumstance of surrendering himself.
