bribery personnel forged no-crime certificate

The scammer involved in the case is a 60-year-old Chinese man. He reported that his name was Shen Feng, also known as Aimin Shen and Bofeng Shen, and was born In Shanghai, he was sentenced to more than two years in prison for fraud in other people in the mainland for multiple fake identities. However, Shen bribed notary personnel through bribes, sexual services, artwork, first class, star hotel accommodation, etc., and successfully obtained False certificate of non-crime record. He also submitted an application for a golden visa to Portugal on January 21, 2018. About nine months later, in October 2018, Shen successfully obtained a Golden Residence Permit (ARI), numbered 16J057R89. But if Shen truthfully presented his criminal record, the golden visa would not be issued because his record already has criminal records in multiple criminal cases.

Vitorio Rosario Cardoso, a member of the Central Committee of the Social Democratic Party of Portugal and the first local elected member of the Chinese People's Congress, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Sing Tao Daily that the Portuguese Immigration Bureau is carrying out reforms, and the government's negligence in handling visa verification has led to Shen's use of the loophole and tricks to succeed. . Moreover, Shen pretended to be a United Nations representative in China who worked closely with Portugal, showing his photo with the Portuguese consul to investors who hope to apply for Portugal's "golden visa", lied that he was an assistant to the governor of in a province in China and used the fake title. The head strengthens persuasion to induce investors to apply for a "golden visa" through him.

Cardoso continued to reveal that a cheated woman from Yangzhou, Jiangsu gave Shen a luxury custom red wine worth more than RMB 3 million. Many businessmen from other cities also became Shen's targets of deception, and Shen was deceived by Shen. , Ten Chinese investors who have successfully applied for a "golden visa" also filed a lawsuit against Shen in a Portuguese court for nearly 100 million yuan.

Shen defrauded investors of more than one million euros as an immigration agent, and used the stolen money and a false certificate of criminal record to apply for it by himself "Golden Visa", his wife Beibei Yu and two children Ruxin Shen and Yicheng Shen also successfully obtained the "Golden Visa", and only his father-in-law and mother-in-law's application was not approved. It is estimated that the four are still in China and have not entered Portugal yet. Shen also tried to use the branches set up by foreign banks in China to launder money and transfer the stolen money from China to overseas. According to information learned by Portuguese media, in about two years, Shen received a commission of one million euros, trying to sell "factories" or even "houses" that did not belong to him at all.

According to the Portuguese Immigration Bureau, its Central Bureau of Investigation received an anonymous report against a Chinese man named Shen in April this year. It has immediately begun an investigation to determine whether the content of the report is true and whether the procedures adopted are in line with the relevant Regulation. The Portuguese Immigration Bureau also confirmed that Shen holds a gold residence permit granted in October 2018, valid until January next year, and meets applicable legal requirements.

Cardoso said that once Shen successfully entered Portugal with a "golden visa", since the Portugal's transfer of fugitives prohibited the transfer of fugitives to countries where the death penalty is retained, Shen was unable to transfer from Portugal to China, and ordered Shen to transfer from Portugal to China. It can evade legal responsibility, so I hope that China and Portugal will strengthen communication and cooperation, arrest Shen as soon as possible, and deter anyone who wants to exploit the loophole of the "golden visa" to strengthen the national security of Portugal and improve the Overseas investors' confidence in Portugal.

2000, Shen was sentenced for illegal fundraising in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province; in 2007 and 2008, he was sentenced for illegal fundraising and fraud in the same province; in 2011, he was sentenced again for two identical crimes. . In Portugal, these offences can be sentenced to more than one year in prison.

After several months of investigation, the Portuguese authorities found that Ke Ting Xiong, a police officer who managed the police station of Haikou International Airport in Hainan Island, China, was suspected of helping Shen obtain a Portuguese golden visa with false information. Organizing crime and using the position to provide benefits in exchange for so-called bribery, the policeman has been dismissed and investigated after being found involved in the case.

State-Strait Foundation has been investigating the case since April, but Shen is still missing.
