The Supreme People's Procuratorate assigned 28 provinces to supervise the handling of telecom fraud cases involving northern Myanmar involving 45,000 people.

　　China News Service, February 4 (Xinhua) Zhang Xiaojin, director of the Fourth Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, revealed in an online interview with the director of the Supreme People's Procuratorate on February 4 that the Supreme People's Procuratorate, together with the Ministry of Public Security, supervised the handling of five extremely large cross-border electronic fraud cases. 28 provinces were assigned to supervise the handling of telecom network fraud cases involving northern Myanmar, involving 45,000 people.

　　Zhang Xiaojin said that as the crackdown and governance efforts continue to increase, the number of cases of electronic fraud and related crimes handled by the procuratorial organs has increased significantly. From January to November 2023, the procuratorate prosecuted more than 42,000 people for fraud crimes committed using telecommunications networks, a year-on-year increase of 63.5%; and more than 129,000 people were charged with assisting information network criminal activities, a year-on-year increase of 13.2%.

　　Zhang Xiaojin pointed out that currently, telecom network fraud is becoming group-based, industrialized, chain-based, and cross-border. Super large criminal groups under the guise of "industrial parks" and "technology parks" have appeared overseas, ranging from committing fraud crimes alone to deriving intentional fraud crimes. Serious violent crimes such as injury and illegal detention have seriously damaged the people's sense of security. At the same time, the domestic and foreign-related black industry chains that provide assistance to overseas telecommunications network fraud criminal groups are more complete, and the black industry modules such as personnel, information, technology, and funds are more stable, the technical threshold is further lowered, the funding channels are intertwined and hidden, and the social harm is great.

　　Judging from the handling of cases by the procuratorial organs, fraudulent orders and rebates, investment and financial management, false shopping, impersonating customer service, and false credit reporting are relatively common fraud methods, of which frauds such as fraudulent orders and rebates and false investment and financial management account for more than half. Criminals have integrated different fraud models with each other, and have also developed new compound methods such as "pig killing plate + false investment" and "combination of gambling and fraud", which are more deceptive and confusing.

　　Zhang Xiaojin introduced that the procuratorial organs firstly severely punished telecommunications network fraud and related crimes in accordance with the law, made every effort to crack down on gangs, destroy networks, and cut off chains. They arrested and prosecuted relevant criminals when necessary, and made strict sentencing recommendations in accordance with the law. The Supreme People's Procuratorate, together with the Ministry of Public Security, supervised the handling of 5 extremely large cross-border electronic fraud cases, and successively assigned 28 provinces to supervise the handling of telecom network fraud cases involving northern Myanmar, involving 45,000 people, focusing on personnel, funds, and information black industry to intensify the crackdown. , continuing to send a strong signal of strict compliance with the law.

　　The second is to fully carry out the work of recovering stolen goods and recovering losses, combining the recovery of stolen goods and recovering losses with the leniency system of admitting guilt and accepting punishment, making full use of laws and criminal policies, supervising and guiding the return of stolen goods and compensation throughout the litigation process, and actively recovering economic losses for the people.

　　The third is to coordinately promote the comprehensive management of telecommunications network fraud. Combined with judicial case handling, focus on the social governance loopholes and shortcomings reflected in the cases, formulate and issue procuratorial recommendations on social governance, and coordinate with relevant departments to strengthen the management of litigation sources.

　　The fourth is to strengthen international cooperation, actively participate in the negotiations of the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime, and urge the international community to pool joint efforts to combat cybercrime.

　　The fifth is to strengthen the publicity of the rule of law, release the procuratorial organs’ work and typical cases in combating telecommunications network fraud and related crimes, and cooperate with CCTV to produce and broadcast a series of anti-fraud promotional videos to create a strong anti-fraud atmosphere for the whole people.
