Private houses set up casinos and police "cat-and-mouse games", criminals boast of concealed and safe gambling dens, how can Sichuan Shifang police easily get rid of it?

Recently, a crowded gambling den in the village of Shifang, which was constantly changing venues, was smashed in one fell swoop at the local public security organ's "One Million Police Enters Ten Millions" activity, and all nine criminal suspects were arrested.

"Intensive social prevention and control has not only isolated the epidemic, but also eliminated the agricultural tumors." Xiao Xiuyi, director of the Shifang City Public Security Bureau, said that after the battle against the new coronary pneumonia epidemic began, the civilian and auxiliary police went deep into the fields and rural courtyards. While carrying out epidemic prevention and control work, it accurately searched for clues of crimes and cracked down on 59 cases of illegal crimes involving gambling and drugs.

This is a microcosm of grassroots political and legal organs combined with comprehensive management to punish rural pornography gambling crimes. In recent years, political and legal organs in various regions have actively implemented the requirements of the Party Central Committee, fully exerted their functions in accordance with the law, eradicated the breeding grounds for illegal crimes of gambling, gambling and drugs in rural areas, and provided a good environment for the rule of law for the implementation of rural revitalization strategies.

Yang Xiong, an expert and associate professor of criminal procedure law at Beijing Normal University, said in an interview with a reporter from the Legal Daily that political and legal authorities, while deeply cracking down on the punishment of illegal crimes of gambling, pay attention to guiding warnings, plug loopholes, and establish and improve rural social security. The control system promotes the construction of rural spiritual civilization and economic and social development, and effectively enhances the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security.

Group anti-group-weaving dense grassroots strike net

"The door was closed all day long, pungent smoke came out from time to time, and the men in the room flashed deliberately to avoid conversation ... There are signs that there is a problem with this farm house." In July 2019, the Anti-drug Brigade of the Mianzhu City Public Security Bureau in Sichuan Province received The masses made a report and hurried to a village in Xiaode Town to start an investigation with the local village committee's anti-drug inspectors.

After careful investigation, the police locked the farmhouse as a major suspected drug manufacturing site. With the help of the masses, the police also quickly grasped the important evidence that fixed the suspects in the field to make drugs. Since then, a criminal gang with a complete chain of drug manufacturing and drug trafficking has been uprooted. The public security organs seized more than 600 grams of finished methamphetamine and more than 2000 grams of semi-finished methamphetamine.

"In recent years, we have effectively strengthened the prevention and control of drug abuse, anti-drug and anti-drug lines in rural areas through the improvement of the mechanism for reporting crimes and crimes by the masses, and formed the anti-mass control system of the rural anti-drug work group." Zhang Peijun, director of the Mianzhu Anti-Drug Office, said in-depth Mobilizing the masses to carry out major investigations and cleanups is an important starting point for cracking major cases involving agricultural drug-related crimes.

"The rural yellow gambling crime has obvious liquidity characteristics, the crime place is concealed, and fish ponds, forests, ships, etc. may all become crime dens." Yang Xiong said, "difficult to find" is the primary difficulty in combating such crimes. To this end, political and legal organs should make extensive use of the power of the masses to mobilize safe volunteers and the masses of the community and start the people ’s war of gambling, drug and crime. While severely cracking down, we must also focus on strengthening the guidance work, guiding the people in the jurisdiction to establish a correct way of life, actively creating a safe and harmonious social environment, and forming a new community governance model that synchronizes autonomy, rule of law, rule of virtue, and group rule.

Cluster crimes in some rural areas frequently occur at the borders of provinces, cities and counties. To this end, Yang Xiong said that local political and legal institutions should be encouraged to break through jurisdictional barriers and police-type barriers, and cross-regional and cross-police types should cooperate in handling cases to further squeeze yellow gambling. Drug crime space, improve the quality and effectiveness of the fight.

Promote reform by case

Opening casinos in the wild, gathering crowds to fight with arms, evading investigations and "fighting guerrillas" ... On August 19 last year, the mallet fell, and 17 criminal syndicates such as the Yellow Sea were punished by law.

In order to obtain economic benefits, the criminal group used the complex terrain of the deep mountain and dense forest in the rural area of ​​Guangde County, Anhui Province to open a casino, openly provoke troubles, repeatedly violent incidents, severely disrupted the local social order, and caused bad social impact.

"Behind the case is a series of social issues that urgently require the improvement of the rule of law, such as the employment of rural idle personnel, weak villagers' awareness of the rule of law, and governance of wild casinos." The case undertaker, Zeng Shengnan, director of the First Procuratorial Department of the People's Procuratorate of Guangde City in Anhui Province, said, In order to strengthen the education of the rule of law and promote the interpretation of the law by case, the institute has repeatedly organized the "prosecutor's account team" to go deep into the countryside and carry out law popularization activities; This case is a typical case to educate young people to stay away from bad habits and establish the concept of legislation.

In addition, the Guangde City Procuratorate issued procuratorial suggestions concerning various aspects related to the crime of opening a casino to the local competent authorities, including public security inspections, guidance and management of idle personnel, and the people's reporting system. After the relevant competent departments actively absorbed the procuratorial suggestions, they carried out rectification and implementation actions. In the wild casino, this long-term “tumor tumor” that has been entrenched in rural areas of Guangde City has been eradicated.

A number of interviewed political and legal officials said that the conclusion of the case is far from the end of the treatment of rural gambling crimes. Only by promoting the improvement of relevant governance mechanisms can we achieve a solid foundation.

On May 13, 2019, the People ’s Court of Panyu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province convicted four major cases involving pornography, involving 21 accused persons, with a maximum sentence of 18 years ’imprisonment and confiscation of property of 2 million yuan and A fine of 110,000 yuan.

Before the case was handled, a small natural village in Panyu District actually occupies a large number of criminal gangs. Chaos like standing on the street, gathering together and fighting in the village have been repeatedly banned, severely disrupting the local social order and public security.

"The court used good punishment weapons in the trial, sentenced heavy criminals, recidivists and other criminals with serious viciousness and severe harm, and sentenced them to severe penalties according to law, and paid attention to economic sanctions to eliminate the economic basis of criminals' recidivism." The person in charge of the office, Bu Xiaohong, told reporters that while vigorously investigating the case, the court proactively extended the trial function, strengthened the investigation of related cases, and addressed the problems of work omissions and lack of systems found in the grass-roots units found in the trial of pornographic gambling cases. Promptly issue judicial advice to relevant departments to actively prevent and resolve risks. After the proposal was adopted, the three local public prosecution laws established a consultation mechanism, strengthened coordination and cooperation, established a system of monthly notification, information sharing, and clue transfer of relevant cases, and worked together to eradicate criminal soil.

Statistics show that since severe rectification, the village's yellow police situation has dropped by 97% year-on-year, and the gambling-related police situation has fallen by 64% year-on-year.

Technology helps improve the accuracy of strikes

"The men in the rental houses in the village near the Third Ring Road frequently send and receive emails, and they are also suspected of taking drugs." Not long ago, the big data platform of the Gulou Branch of the Xuzhou Public Security Bureau in Jiangsu Province received a warning and found an important clue of drug trafficking and drug abuse.

After careful investigation, a chain across Sichuan and Jiangsu provinces, using the network express drug trafficking chain surfaced. On March 15, the case was closed, and the Gulou public security organ arrested 28 suspects in violation of the law in one fell swoop.

The police handling the case told reporters that the successful investigation of the case benefited from the full use of police big data and the development of special operations to "comb the net and clear the grid".

During the Spring Festival, the Gulou public security organs combined with the epidemic prevention and control work, carried out the special action of "comb the net and clear the grid", played the role of a smart police system, and strengthened the investigation of the gathering places of outsiders such as urban and rural junctions and rural natural village rental housing.

"The prevention and control of epidemic situation on the one hand and the fight against crime on the other hand, the achievements of informatization construction have been fully manifested in the current period." Wu Yu, deputy director of Gulou Public Security Branch Bureau, said.

During the interview, the reporter learned that with the popularization of Internet applications, the phenomenon of committing crimes of pornography, gambling and gambling through the Internet has shown frequent trends in rural areas, and political and legal authorities in various regions have timely and accurately cracked down with the help of scientific and technological means.

In March 2019, the Zhejiang Zhuji Public Security Bureau discovered in a network inspection that Li Moumou used a QQ group to spread obscene videos to more than 300 rural workers. After a technical analysis and judgment, a large-scale rural network involved in pornographic cases was found and investigated. 4 QQ groups spreading obscene articles, more than 1,000 obscene videos, and 12 mobile phones involved in the case were confiscated.

In July 2019, Guangdong Lianping Public Security Organs used smart police methods to check the clues of a rural online gambling case, analyzed the specific location and activity law of the online gambling den hidden in a village of Dahu Town, and then precisely destroyed He Ximou as the leader. The underground online gambling gang arrested more than 10 people involved and investigated and punished more than 4.4 million yuan in funds.

"The trend of rural yellow gambling crimes gradually shifting to cyberspace should be highly valued, with new cases such as online gambling and WeChat red envelope gambling becoming more common in rural areas." Yang Xiong suggested that political and legal institutions should focus on information construction , Incorporate anti-yellow gambling work into a comprehensive monitoring and control platform for social security in rural areas, build a "regional, electronic, and dynamic" supervision system, and use big data to timely and comprehensively analyze and judge key clues of gambling and illegal crimes in the jurisdiction Information, to achieve a precise attack on crime, and help the construction of the rule of law in rural areas.
