China News Service, July 26. According to the Supreme Procuratorate website, in the first half of this year, procuratorial organs across the country approved 4,480 crimes for preventing and controlling the epidemic, 5370 people, and 4,527 cases, 5,565 people prosecuted.

  Four types of crimes that hinder epidemic prevention and control and resume work and production are prominent

  One is the crime of manufacturing and selling counterfeit and shoddy anti-epidemic materials. In the first half of the year, 251 people were involved in the production and sale of counterfeit and inferior products in crimes prosecuted by the procuratorial organs. During the special period of epidemic prevention and control and the resumption of work and production, some criminals have become interested in making and selling fake and inferior anti-epidemic materials, which seriously endangers the health and life of the people. These materials not only involve ordinary anti-epidemic supplies such as masks, medical alcohol, and disinfectant, but even medical equipment such as ventilators. Some anti-epidemic materials are sold to epidemic areas, hospitals, epidemic prevention departments, pharmacies, and other front-line epidemic prevention. One million yuan is extremely harmful. The Supreme People’s Procuratorate released the fourth batch of typical cases involving the epidemic, and published a batch of criminal cases involving the manufacture and sale of counterfeit and inferior epidemic prevention materials, deterring illegal enterprises and businesses, guiding the people to raise awareness of prevention and safeguard their rights and interests. The Supreme People’s Procuratorate also issued guidelines in conjunction with the Supreme Court and others, clarifying that nine types of crimes such as the manufacture and sale of counterfeit counterfeit products should be the focus of the fight to maintain the social order of epidemic prevention and control.

  The second is the fraud crime of falsely selling epidemic prevention materials. In the first half of the year, fraud crimes occurred frequently. Procuratorates across the country prosecuted a total of 2,417 fraud crimes involving epidemic prevention and control and resumption of work and production. Among them, the majority of people obtain money by fraudulent sales of masks, especially the number of fraud cases using online means. Some criminals took advantage of the objective situation of the surge in demand for epidemic prevention materials and production materials, and the lack of supply, to exploit the loopholes of enterprises' eagerness to resume work and deliberate thinking, and fraudulent sales to defraud money. The Supreme People's Procuratorate issued the fifth batch of typical cases involving the epidemic, issuing multiple types of fraud such as false sales of masks, fraud against company and enterprise contracts, and fraud against small and medium enterprises, and issued 10 anti-fraud recommendations to the public.

  The third is the crime of driving up the prices of epidemic prevention materials, production materials, and civilian biological materials. Some lawbreakers took advantage of factors such as the shortage of epidemic prevention supplies during the epidemic prevention period and the people's eagerness to prevent the epidemic to drive up prices several times, ten times or even dozens of times in the short term, making huge profits and seriously disrupting the market supply order during the epidemic prevention and control period. During the important period of advancing the resumption of work and production, some criminals took advantage of the eagerness of enterprises to resume work and production, peddling masks, forehead guns, disinfectants and other essential items for resumption of production at high prices, increasing the cost of resuming production. Especially in some cases of reselling meltblown fabrics (key raw materials for masks), criminals took advantage of the high production requirements and difficulties in short-term expansion of production, and took the opportunity to drive up reselling, which caused prices to rise exponentially, and mask companies had nowhere to look for materials. "The situation of "machines waiting for cloth" is serious. The procuratorial organs cooperated closely with the public security organs, attacked quickly, focused on key points, hit early and beat small ones, focused on punishing a number of cases with large price hikes, large amounts of money involved, and bad social impact, and maintained a high-pressure and severe punishment situation. The Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the "Typical Cases of Severely Punishment of Price-Hiding Crimes in accordance with the Law", which strictly warned that criminals will be severely punished for crimes, promoted the creation of a law-abiding social atmosphere, and jointly ensured the victory of the war.

  Fourth, other crimes that hinder the prevention and control of the epidemic. Procuratorates across the country have also highlighted the focus of case handling. In response to the continuous occurrence of medical disturbances in some places, they have issued notices in conjunction with the National Health Commission and others to issue relevant typical cases in a timely manner, severely punish 7 types of medical crimes, ensure the safety of medical personnel, and maintain good medical order . In response to the abuse of wild animals, we will earnestly implement the relevant decisions of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and intensify the crackdown on illegal hunting and trading of wild animals. In response to the rapid spread of overseas epidemics, the General Administration of Customs and others have issued opinions to punish crimes that hinder border health and quarantine in accordance with the law, and strictly prevent overseas imported risks. In the first half of the year, procuratorial organs across the country prosecuted 832 people for crimes of obstructing public service, 480 people for illegal hunting, 336 people for illegally purchasing, transporting, and selling precious and endangered wild animals, precious and endangered wildlife products, 220 people for the crime of creating disturbances, and illegal hunting. The crime of arresting and killing rare and endangered wild animals was 177 people, and the crime of obstructing the prevention and control of infectious diseases was 80 people, providing a strong guarantee for maintaining social stability and ensuring the smooth development of epidemic prevention and control.

  Accurately grasp the boundaries of laws and policies in punishing crimes that hinder the resumption of work and production

  According to the domestic and foreign epidemic prevention and control and the phased changes in the economic situation, the procuratorial organs adjust work focus and response measures according to the time and situation, accurately grasp the boundaries of laws and policies, perform their duties accurately, and actively serve to coordinate the promotion of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development. .

  One is to accurately grasp the boundaries of laws and policies. In view of the overall economic development situation, fully consider the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on the normal production and operation activities of enterprises, and grasp the legal and policy boundaries in judicial cases. For example, during the epidemic prevention and control period, the production and operation of epidemic prevention and control products and commodities, or the need for epidemic prevention and control, the product labeling does not meet the relevant regulations due to the need for epidemic prevention and control, but the product is certified to meet the relevant national health and quality standards. If it does not cause substantial harm, it is generally not treated as a crime. In another example, in order to solve the resumption of work and production, the malicious overdraft of credit cards has made it difficult to return the arrears in a timely manner. Subjective and objective factors should be considered and handled in accordance with the law. The sixth batch of typical cases involving the epidemic issued by the Supreme People's Procuratorate explained the case of Wang Moumou and Fu Moumou in Huzhou for falsely issuing special value-added tax invoices without prosecution, and achieved good results.

  The second is to further implement the judicial concept of fewer arrests and caution in prosecution. In response to the special difficulties in the resumption of work and production in the private economy during the epidemic, the procuratorial organs strengthened equal protection through judicial case handling and promoted operations in compliance with laws and regulations. For cases that may be suspected of criminal offenses that are indeed induced by business difficulties, carefully screen out and carefully study and judge. For minor criminal cases involving private enterprises that have recovered economic losses and are not of great social harm, insist on not prosecuting those who can not be prosecuted in accordance with the law, and actively guiding adjustments through administrative penalties, civil litigation and other means.

  The third is to further increase the application of the leniency system for confession and punishment. Fully fulfill the leading responsibilities of procuratorial organs in criminal proceedings, actively promote the application of the leniency system for confessing guilt and punishing, protect normal production and operation, and help enterprises tide over difficulties. At the same time, pay attention to the work of interpreting the law and reasoning together with the handling of the case, and eliminating the confrontational emotions.

  The fourth is to carefully apply the compulsory measures for personal and property. Strengthen the social risk review of arrests involving private enterprises, and further reduce the rate of pretrial detention in cases involving private enterprises. For business operators in custody during the litigation stage, timely review of the necessity of detention shall be carried out, and for those that do not affect the proceeding of litigation and the prevention and control of the epidemic, the mandatory measures shall be changed in a timely manner according to law. When handling cases involving private enterprises, it is important to avoid applying compulsory measures that restrict property rights as much as possible. In principle, the equipment, funds and technical materials that the involved enterprises are investing in production and operation, research and development and innovation, etc., shall not be sealed, seized, or frozen in principle. Where seizures, seizures, and freezing are indeed necessary, appropriate measures shall be taken to protect the necessary working capital, current account numbers, and production and operation materials.

  Optimize case handling methods to help enterprises resume production and operation as soon as possible

  The procuratorial organs actively adapt to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control and resumption of work and production, overcome difficulties, innovate in case handling methods, and effectively accelerate the progress of case handling to ensure the quality of case handling.

  The first is to strengthen external communication and coordination and effectively accelerate the progress of case handling. Strengthen communication and coordination with public security organs, increase early intervention and guide investigation work. In the first half of the year, the procuratorial organs intervened in advance of 6,289 cases involving epidemics, accounting for 92.8% of the cases accepted for review and prosecution. Strengthen communication with the court, increase the application of summary procedures and expedited procedures, improve case handling efficiency, and prevent cases from being delayed for a long time. In the first half of the year, 177,394 cases of criminal cases prosecuted by procuratorial organs were concluded using summary procedures, and 77,649 cases were applied to expedited procedures. In addition, it has actively adapted to the normalization of epidemic prevention and control requirements, innovated online case handling models, and actively carried out online arraignments, online evidence collection, online announcements and other litigation activities to improve the efficiency of judicial case handling.

  The second is to improve working methods and enhance the quality of case handling. Pay attention to improving the quality of returned and supplementary investigations, further refine the content of the supplementary investigation outline, strengthen communication with public security organs, increase the explanation of the contents of the returned investigation, and effectively reduce the litigation links and case-handling cycle. In the first half of the year, the number of retired investigations handled by procuratorial organs for review and prosecution cases decreased by 21.3% year-on-year, and the number of extended trial limits decreased by 28.4% year-on-year. The procuratorial organs supplemented 5222 investigations by themselves, an increase of more than 8 times compared with the same period last year. The "case-to-case ratio" in the procuratorial process has further decreased, and the quality of case handling has improved significantly.

  In-depth investigation and resolution of conflicts related to the epidemic-related letters and visits

  The procuratorial organs, in accordance with the work requirements of “responding to all letters and visits from the masses,” insist on the goal of resolving contradictions and closing the case with people, unblocking appeal channels, scientific research and judgment, diversified solutions, and actively maintaining social harmony and stability.

  One is to sort out and investigate petitions related to the epidemic. Investigate the petition-related petitions received by local procuratorial organs, especially Hubei procuratorial organs, one by one, sort out the main appeals of petitioners one by one, and accurately identify petition-related matters under the jurisdiction of procuratorial organs and petition-related matters and important matters not under the jurisdiction of procuratorial organs. For petitions related to the epidemic and general petitions related to the epidemic, ensure that the background is clear and whereabouts are clear. In the first half of the year, procuratorial organs across the country received 1,652 letters and visits related to the epidemic, 1,343 in the first quarter, and 309 in the second quarter, a decrease of 77% from the previous quarter. Among them, 308 were under the jurisdiction of the procuratorial organ, and 1,344 were not under the jurisdiction of the procuratorial organ; the procuratorial organ handled 819 replies on its own and transferred 833 to the relevant agencies.

  The second is to conduct accurate analysis, research and judgment to supervise. For the complaints and visits related to the epidemic that have been sorted out, combined with the online and offline reporting of the system, timely research, judgment, analysis, discovery and early warning of hidden dangers of major conflicts and disputes, and focused on the investigation-related complaints and suggestions. Carry out special activities to clean up and supervise non-public economic complaints and complaints, and centrally assign and supervise the non-public economic petitions received by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate that are under the jurisdiction of the procuratorial organs, and strive to resolve a group of enterprises that affect the resumption of work and production and the public has strongly responded At present, 169 cases have been assigned.

  The third is to insist on a diversified interpretation of letters and visits related to the epidemic. Procuratorial organs at all levels combine the special work of clearing and resolving accumulative letters and visits, adhere to and develop the "Maple Bridge Experience" of the new era, follow the principle of "territorial management, hierarchical responsibility", and comprehensively apply public hearings, interpretations, judicial assistance, psychological counseling, and education guidance Efforts have been made to resolve epidemic-related conflicts and disputes at the grassroots level and prevent major stability risks in the city. In particular, the 20 epidemic-related petitions identified by the Hubei procuratorial organs were included in the scope of clearing and resolving accumulative petitions. According to the requirements of one case, one policy and one table, a special case handling team was designated to guide the Hubei Provincial Court to build files on a case-by-case basis, and to clarify the units involved in the case. With the person in charge, remind and supervise the benchmarking table every week.
