Supreme Law: Cross -border telecommunications network fraud crime is the top priority of severe punishment

"In recent years, with the rapid development of my country's information network technology, the criminal structure has undergone major changes, and traditional crimes have continued to decline. New types of crimes represented by telecommunications network fraud have continued to cause high incidence." On September 6, the Supreme People's Court sentenced President Ma Yan said at the Supreme Law New News Conference.

Ma Yan said that the people's courts have always adhered to severe punishment for telecommunications network fraud crimes, and cross -border telecommunications network fraud crimes are the top priority of severe punishment. Spring crimes always insist on pursuing the stolen goods.

From 2017 to 2021, the national courts tried 103,000 cases of telecommunications network fraud crimes in the first instance and 223,000 defendants were sentenced to punishment. Among them, 2018 rose 71.69%year -on -year; 2019 rose by 25.15%year -on -year; 40.36%year -on -year in 2020; 2021 decreased by 17.55%year -on -year. In the first half of this year, 11,000 cases of telecommunications network fraud crimes were tried in the first half of this year, and 21,000 defendants were sentenced to punishment and declined again year -on -year.

On September 6, the Supreme People's Court also released a typical case. "Published these typical cases, on the one hand, emphasizing the policy position of the people's courts strictly punishing telecommunications network fraud crimes in accordance with the law, on the other hand, it also reminds the masses to enhance the awareness of anti -fraud and prevent the masses. He became a "toolman 'for telecommunications network fraud criminals because of greed for small profits." Ma Yan said.

Ma Yan said that in the next step, the people's court will lead the crackdown on governance of telecommunications network fraud crimes with greater efforts and more practical measures to achieve better results. Focus on the following aspects:

The first is to conscientiously implement the "Anti -Telecommunications Network Fraud Law" passed not long ago, in conjunction with the relevant departments to fully implement the measures and control measures, improve the evidence and proof rules on telecommunications network fraud crimes, improve the disciplinary punishment, investigate and deal with fraud, Administrative punishment and criminal penalties and other mechanisms.

The second is to continue to persist in severely punishing telecommunications network fraud crimes in accordance with the law, and resolutely curb the high incidence of telecommunications network fraud crimes.

The third is to continue to increase the work of pursuing stolen goods, thoroughly investigate and recover fraud funds in accordance with the law. By applying the system of confession and punishment, the defendant will actively refund the stolen goods and refund the compensation. The property rights and interests of the masses are deceived.

The fourth is to cooperate to promote network governance, continue to promote the establishment of a new pattern of anti -fraud and anti -fraud, innovate propaganda forms, continuously strengthen the pertinence and effectiveness of publicity and education, and strive to create a strong atmosphere of anti -fraud and anti -fraud in the whole society.
