On May 5, more than ten food delivery riders in Yichang, Hubei Province were subject to criminal coercive measures by the police.These riders were accused of being lured by the delivery website owner's "five hundred yuan a day" offer and lending their bank cards to help launder money.According to police investigations, a total of 15 people in this money laundering gang were arrested one after another, and the funds involved in the case have been verified to be as high as 22 million yuan.The Yichang Municipal Public Security Bureau told Nandu reporters that all arrests have been made and are currently in the arrest stage.According to the police, the members of the gang are all young people from Yichang urban area, and most of them have a high level of education and stable careers.They were used to launder money using bank cards, and the profits obtained each time they laundered money were very high.According to the police, the gang's money laundering activities have been going on for a long time. They use bank cards to transfer and launder funds between different bank accounts. Each money laundering involves a large amount of fund flow and transfer.Due to the large number of members of the gang and its wide range of involvement, the police also face certain challenges during the investigation of the case.At present, the funds involved in this case have been verified to have reached more than 4000 million yuan, and the police have identified the main members of the gang and their activities.The police stated that they will transfer the case for prosecution in early June this year to hold the gang members criminally responsible.
Earlier this year, while handling a case, the Yichang High-tech Zone police discovered that two delivery riders lent their bank cards to others to assist an overseas telecom fraud team in money laundering activities.
After the two delivery riders were captured by the police, after interrogation and investigation, the police found that there were other people around them who lent their bank cards to help criminal gangs carry out money laundering activities.After more than a month of investigation work, the police finally locked onto this money laundering gang and recently successfully closed the network and arrested 22 suspects.According to verification, the funds involved in the case amounted to more than 4000 million yuan.
The mastermind behind the gang was Fang, a man from Xiaogan. He discovered that he could make huge profits by helping overseas telecom fraud gangs launder money.So he began to look for the webmaster and deputy webmaster of a food delivery platform in Yichang City, and colluded with them.These webmasters and deputy webmasters contacted a group of delivery riders who were in urgent need of money and induced them to lend their bank cards to Fang.Fang used these bank cards to carry out money laundering crimes for telecommunications network fraud, online gambling and other criminal activities.In order to collect more bank cards, Fang and others continuously lured some food delivery riders in the city into the water with a reward of XNUMX yuan per bank card per day.These webmasters and deputy webmasters actively participated in Fang's criminal behavior. They not only assisted Fang in recruiting new members, but also assisted Fang in handling the proceeds of crime.This collusive relationship allows telecom fraud and online gambling activities to be carried out secretly, and at the same time, the interests of Fang and others continue to increase.This kind of criminal behavior will not only bring huge social harm, but also have a great impact on the interests of the victims.The police should strengthen the crackdown on this kind of crime, and at the same time strengthen the supervision and crackdown on relevant personnel to maintain social justice and security.
Among the suspects captured this time, more than 10 are food delivery riders who usually make a living by delivering food.Many of these people initially realized that lending bank cards might constitute a crime, but in the end they could not resist the temptation of 500 yuan a day and became accomplices in money laundering crimes.
Yichang police remind citizens that illegal buying, selling, renting or lending bank cards may be used by criminals for online fraud, money laundering and other illegal and criminal activities.Doing so may not only result in property damage, but may also become an "accomplice" in criminal activities.Cardholders may bear corresponding criminal liability.
