The Supreme People's Procuratorate of China announced the above data. Among them, the prosecution approved the arrest of 12 crimes against the prevention of infectious diseases in accordance with the law, and prosecuted 16 of the 18 people; approved the arrest of 397 crimes against public service in accordance with the law, and the prosecution of 417 cases against 506 people; the arrest of the crime of illegal business (causing the price) There were 14 cases and 30 persons, and 9 cases and 11 persons were prosecuted.

In the case of the suspect Cao's illegal operation, Cao raised the masks from 0.16 yuan (RMB, the same below) to 0.28 yuan each before the epidemic prevention, rising to 10 yuan each, a nearly 50-fold increase.

Zheng Xinjian, director of the Fourth Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate of China, and Gao Feng, director of the Second Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said that since the outbreak, some criminals have taken advantage of the public's enthusiasm for epidemic prevention and the eagerness of enterprises to resume work and resume production.

The case released is a microcosm of the prosecution's joint efforts with the police, hoping to use this to warn criminals seriously.

Zheng Xinjian reminded resuming and resuming production enterprises when answering questions that financing activities must be carried out in accordance with laws and regulations. Never provide false materials to financial institutions or conduct illegal financial activities in order to meet financing needs. He also warned criminals who tried to take funds in the name of resuming work and resuming production. They must not take risks or the procuratorate would severely punish them. (Finish)
