China News Service, November 11. According to the official website of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, recently, the Supreme People's Procuratorate released 4 typical cases of punishing the crime of stealing and mining mineral resources according to law, including 3 cases of serious damage to mineral resources and severe punishment, and 1 case that was verified. This is a case where the administrative illegal act of mining incidental to the project does not constitute a crime and is not prosecuted.
This batch of cases is problem-oriented, based on solving the confusion of the case-handling departments in terms of evidence collection, conviction, and sentencing.
Among them, the case of illegal mining by Zhang Moushan and other 32 people, and Ma Mouyu covering up and concealing the proceeds of crime reflects the procuratorial organ's zero-tolerance attitude towards the crime of robbery and mining of industrial resources that seriously damages the ecological environment; Wu Moubin, Li Moujun and other illegal mining The case of bribery and bribery embodies the more concealed characteristics of illegal theft and mining of industrial resources in recent years; the illegal mining case of 12 persons including Fu Mouliang reflects that the current illegal sand mining has gradually spread from inland rivers to the ocean, and formed a " The phenomenon of "mining-transportation-selling" integrated black industrial chain; Wu Moucun and Ren Mou's suspected illegal mining non-prosecution case reflects how the procuratorial organs can accurately identify the crime and non-crime of mining behavior.
In recent years, the strong market demand has led to the rising prices of mineral resources, and some lawbreakers have illegally exploited the country's mineral resources for illegal benefits, and crimes have become increasingly rampant.
From 2019 to 2021, procuratorial organs across the country approved the arrest of 15,253 people in 8,210 cases of illegal mining and destructive mining crimes, and prosecuted 25,649 people in 10,561 cases.
The person in charge of the First Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate said that mineral resources are an important part of the life community of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand, and an important material basis for ensuring economic and social development.
The crime of stealing mineral resources not only destroys the country's mineral resources and their management order, but also easily damages the ecological environment, causing geological disasters and safety accidents.
In the next step, the procuratorial organs must fully and deeply understand the essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization, thoroughly implement the new development concept, carry out special rectification actions in the field of natural resources, and continue to maintain severe punishments for the crime of stealing and mining industrial resources. Efforts should be made to study and solve outstanding difficulties and problems in judicial case handling, further strengthen cooperation and cooperation with public security organs, natural resources, water conservancy, maritime police and other departments, strengthen the connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice, and at the same time focus on strengthening criminal prosecution and criminal justice. The connection and coordination of public interest litigation and procuratorial work, in view of the limited means of supervision behind the crime of robbery and mining of mineral resources, and the urgent need to regulate the placer resources market, focus on both the symptoms and the source of litigation, and do a solid job in the procuratorial and protection of mineral resources, so as to build a society in an all-round way. Provide solid support for the modernist country.
