Since March this year, the "Three-year Action Plan for Combating Money Laundering and Crimes" jointly issued by the central bank and 11 other departments has been fully implemented. The action plan calls for all departments to jointly increase efforts to punish crimes, while emphasizing that the whole society should raise the awareness of anti-money laundering among the whole society. So, what does anti-money laundering have to do with our lives?
Wang Mouxu, a citizen of Zibo, Shandong Province, runs a small daily necessities trading company, and he was convicted of money laundering for helping a friend transfer an account.
This starts two years ago. At that time, it was his friend Han Moujun who was looking for Wang Mouxu to transfer money, and this Han Moujun was a cadre of the local maternal and child health hospital. Wang Mousu said that one day Han Moujun found himself and said that he wanted to use his own bank card, and he hesitated in his heart at that time, but the relationship was very good, and he did not think much about it and gave the bank card to Han Moujun.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Mousu transferred 500,000 yuan to this bank account, and then Wang Mousu transferred the 500,000 yuan to another account designated by Han Moujun in accordance with Han Moujun's request. He quickly forgot about it.
In 2021, Han Moujun embezzled and accepted bribes. The flow of funds tracked by the case-handling team shows that Han Moujun, in order to cover his eyes and ears, asked the briber to send 500,000 yuan of bribes to the account of his friend Wang Mousu, and then let Wang Mouxu transfer it to his wife Wang Mousu's account. The day after Han Was detained, his wife exchanged the 500,000 yuan for DOLLARs and sent them abroad.
After confirming the bribe, the prosecution filed a money laundering indictment against Han Moujun's wife and Wang Mouxu.
The Linzi District People's Court of Zibo City held that defendant Wang Mouxu, knowing that it was the proceeds of the crime of accepting bribes from others, in order to conceal its source and nature, assisted in the transfer of funds through transfer, and his conduct constituted the crime of money laundering. For having voluntarily surrendered, he was given a lenient punishment and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, suspended for one year, and fined 50,000 yuan in accordance with law.
