Beijing Chaoyang Procuratorate Network Procuratorate White Paper: A technology company helps the casino's online money laundering of more than 1.3 billion yuan

Southern Finance All Media Group reporter Xu Qianyi Beijing reported

Qian established a technology company to organize personnel to build a fourth -party payment platform to aggregate a variety of payment way channels. Without the payment license, the platform uses the platform for illegal funds to pay and settlement to help a casino get more than 1.3 billion yuan.

This is a case mentioned in the "Network Procuratorate" (hereinafter referred to as "White Paper") released by the Beijing Chaoyang Procuratorate on September 9, 2022.

The "White Paper" also mentioned that with the increasing development of information technology, traditional monetization, transfer and other methods have gradually evolved into online money laundering methods such as fourth -party payment platforms and virtual currencies. These new types of money laundering methods for illegal crimes such as telecommunications online fraud and online gambling have greatly helped the development of illegal and criminal activities and the spread of social and economic development.

The fourth -party payment platform has become an important channel for online money laundering

The fourth -party payment platform pointed out that it has not obtained a state -of -payment settlement permit, violated the national payment settlement system, relying on the regular third -party payment platforms such as Alipay and Tenpay, and illegally set up a payment channel for a large number of registered merchants or personal accounts.

"White Paper" pointed out that illegal and criminal funds such as online gambling and underground banks cannot be transferred through normal channels, thereby breeding the fourth -party paid black industry chain that specializes in providing fund payment settlement services.

At the same time, with the rise of the "running points" platform, there are also some "code farmers" (offline participants recruited by the platform) gangs specializing in the platform "running points".

The running platform is illegally providing a platform for payment and settlement business through bank channels, third -party, and fourth -party payment platforms.

"White Paper" also mentioned a case. 17 people such as Bi Moumou and Teng Mou connected to the overseas "running points" platform and set up multiple "running points" den in Beijing. Operations, and some people are responsible for acquiring or leased bank cards for their use, the court has found more than 100 cases of related electrical fraud cases. In addition, due to the difficulty of supervision of virtual currencies and stronger concealment, some criminal gangs have settled through virtual currencies due to the needs of evasion of supervision and investigation.

With the development of quick payment, the way of gambling website agents to collect gambling funds has also become more diverse. Many funds transfer is completed by fast payment methods such as WeChat red envelopes, WeChat transfer, Alipay transfers, and POS machine cards. Daily consumption revenue and expenditure are mixed, it is difficult to distinguish, it is necessary to strengthen technical supervision, effectively identify and prevent, and achieve accurate blockage of big data.

Beijing Chaoyang Procuratorate made suggestions in the "White Paper", which mentioned that it is necessary to further improve the fourth -party payment supervision mechanism.

New type of cyber crime has surged year by year, criminal suspects are aging

Hu Jing, a member of the Party Group and Deputy Prosecutor of the People's Procuratorate of Chaoyang District, introduced that from June 2022, the number of cybercrime cases generally showed a rapid rise, with an average annual increase of 40%, of which in 2019 exceeded 70%. The number of computers and new cyber crimes increased significantly for two consecutive years from 2020 to 2021, with an average annual increase of 3.7 times.

From June 2017 to June 2022, computers and new cyber crimes accounted for 29.8%of the total number of cyber crimes. Among them, new types of crimes such as helping information network crime activities and illegal use of information networks accounted for 80 % of the crimes, and the number of major increases from 2020 increased sharply, and continued to increase in 2021. The reason is that the relevant departments focus on the "broken card" operation nationwide, increasing the crackdown on information network criminal activities.

In addition, in terms of the personnel involved in the case of computer and new network crimes, Liu Rong, director of the Second Procuratorate of the People's Procuratorate of Chaoyang District, said that it generally shows the "three lows" characteristics. That is, low age, low education, low income. The criminal suspect's age between 20 and 40 accounted for about 85.96%of the total number of cases, and the bachelor's degree accounted for approximately 16.15%of the total number of cases, and the proportion of unemployed persons accounted for 77.20%. In addition, the proportion of common crimes is high, accounting for about 55.67%of the total case.
