On January 17, the National Conference of Prosecutors General (Expanded) was held in Beijing. Zhang Jun, chief procurator of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, stressed at the meeting that in order to increase the intensity of anti-money laundering, the handling of upstream criminal cases must simultaneously examine whether they are suspected and prosecuted for money laundering crimes, so that they should be prosecuted and prosecuted.

In 2021, the Supreme People's Procuratorate's Procuratorate office in the China Securities Regulatory Commission was established to help the capital market supervise according to law. The Supreme People's Procuratorate, together with the Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Public Security, launched a special law enforcement action to crack down on securities violations. In view of how procuratorial organs can further serve to prevent and resolve economic and financial risks, the meeting also made arrangements.

"To safeguard economic and financial security is to safeguard political security and protect the rights and interests of the people." Zhang Jun stressed that it is necessary to continue to implement the "No. 3 Procuratorial Recommendation" of the Supreme People's Procuratorate as the traction, not only punish and prevent crimes in the economic and financial fields according to law, but also recover stolen goods and recover losses to the greatest extent, but also analyze risk points and weak points in combination with case handling, timely report to the party committee, remind the regulatory departments, and promote the improvement of the level of supervision and rule of law.

Zhang Jun pointed out that procuratorial organs at all levels should speed up and improve work mechanisms such as information sharing, early intervention, and case-handling consultation with securities regulatory departments, public security organs, and judicial organs, build and strengthen professional case-handling teams, increase the intensity of punishment and prevention of securities violations and crimes, and ensure the safety of the capital market. It is necessary to severely punish all kinds of illegal fund-raising crimes and crimes involving financial credit, and help properly resolve financial risks.

Regarding tax-related cases, Zhang Jun said that it is necessary to accurately grasp the laws and policies, not only to punish the crime of tax evasion and tax fraud according to law, but also to pay attention to analyzing loopholes and weak links in tax supervision activities, put forward procuratorial suggestions in accordance with the law, support and promote strict law enforcement, and improve supervision.

In recent years, telecommunications network fraud has occurred frequently, seriously endangering network security and economic order. It is reported that in 2021, procuratorial organs prosecuted more than 280,000 people for crimes committed using telecommunications networks, an increase of 98.5% year-on-year. In this regard, Zhang Jun said that procuratorial organs at all levels should work together with all political and legal organs to strengthen the crackdown on telecommunications network fraud and crimes, persist in cracking down on the whole chain of upstream and downstream crimes and the integrated management of domestic and foreign crimes, thoroughly investigate and recover fraudulent funds according to law, and resolutely eradicate the breeding ground of the black ash industry.

"In the process of handling telecommunications network fraud cases, we must also pay attention to reflecting the criminal policy of blending leniency with severity." Zhang Jun particularly pointed out that some college students are lured into this type of crime very much, mainly to provide technical help for a living, and treat these groups of people differently from the main offenders and criminals who have made huge profits, so as to prevent "one size fits all".

In view of the equal protection of the legitimate rights and interests of all kinds of enterprises in accordance with the law, the reporter learned from the meeting that in 2021, the procuratorial organs will further promote the pilot compliance reform of the enterprises involved in the case, and work with the Ministry of Public Security to grasp a new round of special clean-up of private enterprises. A total of more than 6,900 cases have been identified in this round of special cleanup, and more than 6,200 pieces have been cleaned up.

At the same time, in terms of deepening the comprehensive protection of intellectual property rights and following up the development driven by service innovation, the Supreme People's Procuratorate has deepened the pilot project of centralized and unified performance of criminal, civil and administrative procuratorial duties of intellectual property rights in the procuratorial organs of 9 provinces and cities to improve the level of comprehensive protection.
