At the same time, we will focus on cracking down on organizers, leaders, key elements and industry "inner ghosts" among the criminals who help trust criminals. For other personnel, especially those at the bottom, we should pay attention to hierarchical treatment, so as to achieve leniency and strictness.

The number of money laundering criminal prosecutions has increased significantly," said Bei Jinxin, the chief prosecutor of the Fourth Case Handling Group of the Fourth Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
Zhou Guangquan, dean and professor of Tsinghua University Law School, said that in the process of handling telecommunication and network fraud and other predicate crimes, the procuratorial organs have discovered acts of credit assistance and money laundering that jointly participated in the crime. A vivid manifestation of the job.
