Multi-department coordination and advancement ensures high-quality and efficient cases
In December 2017, when Xiaoshan police were investigating and collecting evidence about a fight, they discovered that some of the people involved had participated in multiple fights.
As the investigation deepened, a gang of underworld organizations headed by Li Shuai and others gradually emerged. After investigation, the gang was suspected of repeatedly committing illegal and criminal acts such as gathering people to gamble, provoking troubles, and intentional injury in Guali, Xiaoshan and other places, posing a serious threat to the people in the jurisdiction.
Xiaoshan police quickly mobilized capable police forces to set up a task force. After more than a month of in-depth operations and analysis, in the early morning of January 9, 2018, the task force implemented centralized network closure in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, Jinhua, Shaoxing, Hangzhou Dajiangdong, Xiaoshan Xintang, Guali, Nanyang and other places. After the case was closed, the task force went to Hunan, Guangxi, Jinhua and other places to arrest the fugitive .
▍Arrest at the scene
After Li Shuai and others were arrested, in line with the principle of accurate, deep and thorough , Xiaoshan District Anti-Crime Office, District Public Security Bureau and other departments They worked closely together, each performing their duties, and quickly took a number of effective measures to promote the smooth investigation and handling of the criminal case of Li Shuai and other gangster organizations:
During the investigation of this case, the Xiaoshan District Public Security Bureau started by verifying each case and extracted the nature of the gangster. The "four characteristics" of organized crime are closely combined with the "four characteristics", and then systematically sorted out and summarized. According to the four-stage steps of the "investigating individual cases, presenting characteristics, detailed evidence collection, and then summarizing" , a detailed investigation of the members of the organization is carried out in a targeted manner. The evidence collection, especially the extraction of electronic evidence and audio-visual materials, restored the criminal facts of Li Shuai and others to the greatest extent; at the same time, the District Procuratorate intervened in the case in advance, dispatched personnel to guide the investigation and evidence collection immediately, and put forward relevant opinions and suggestions on the fixation of evidence and the application of the law.
After the case was transferred for review and prosecution, the District Procuratorate handled the case in groups, focusing on the obvious organizational characteristics of Li Shuai's case such as clear hierarchies, unified contact, unified food and accommodation, centralized entertainment, condolences, mutual protection, and rules and regulations, etc., analyzed and screened the case qualitatively, and comprehensively analyzed Li Shuai's case. At the same time, the district public security bureau assigned two police officers to the district procuratorate to quickly investigate and fix the issues that needed to be supplemented in the handling of the case. In the end, the Li Shuai case involving 20 defendants and 47 files was successfully prosecuted to the district court in just 45 days.
District Court prepared in advance and designated a capable judicial force to handle the case. Based on the requirements of the trial-centered criminal procedure system reform, it strictly grasped the evidence and legal aspects of Li Shuai's case, and determined according to the law that Li Shuai and others had committed 14 criminal acts. And applied Article 294 of the Criminal Law to sentence Li Shuai and others. Especially in the judgment of this case, the district court paid attention to the criminal policy of combining severe punishment with leniency. For example, the organizer and leader Li Shuai was sentenced to 15 years in prison for several crimes, deprived of political rights for two years, and all personal property confiscated. Lin Shijie, an ordinary participant, was sentenced to 1 year and 2 months in prison. In terms of sentencing, the leaders, organizers, active participants, and ordinary participants were divided and treated differently, and achieved better results in handling the case.
