Pile cakes with cash
Wrap it in cash into a bouquet
……
Be careful!
This surprise gift of "trench inhumanity".
Money laundering may be involved!
The cake shop put 14,000 yuan in cash into the cake
Received a call from the bank saying that it was suspected of "money laundering"
At about 17:00 on March 28, the Chengdong Police Station of Hangzhou Fuyang Branch received a call for help from Ms. Li (pseudonym), saying that the bank called her to inform her that she was suspected of "money laundering" and that her account was suspected of conducting large-value transactions with fraudulent accounts.
After receiving the police, the police immediately went to verify. It turned out that Ms. Li ran a cake shop and received a friend request that morning. After passing the application, the netizen said that he saw Ms. Li's cake shop on Meituan and hoped that the store would help customize a special cake - putting more than 14,000 yuan in cash into the cake.
Ms. Li thought that there had been a customer who asked to make a cash cake to surprise her family, so she didn't think much about it and accepted this "huge cake" order.
After the two parties communicated the style and production cost, the other party paid 15,000 yuan through bank transfer, asked Ms. Li to help withdraw the money to make it, and asked Ms. Li to deliver the cake to the designated place.
At 17 o'clock, when Ms. Li put cash into the cake as requested by the other party, she received a call from the bank. The bank staff informed him that he was suspected of "money laundering" and that his account was suspected of conducting large-value transactions with fraudulent accounts.
Thinking of the anti-fraud propaganda she had received before, Ms. Li was worried that she was being targeted by the fraud gang, so she immediately called the police for help.
After understanding the situation, the police basically determined that Ms. Li had encountered the current new telecommunications network fraud and money laundering model, and Ms. Li received the funds used to make cash cakes, which were the stolen money suspected of fraud crimes, and it was very likely that there was a fraud gang hidden behind the order.
Become an "errand boy"
The suspect was successfully captured
Considering that there is a large amount of cash in the cake, the suspect must not be at ease about leaving the cake somewhere, and he will inevitably show up to get it. Immediately, the police disguised themselves as "errand boys" and continued to communicate with the other party.
At about 20 o'clock, a plainclothes police officer disguised as an "errand boy" arrived at the designated place of the other party with a cake, while the rest of the plainclothes police force was hidden in the shadows, controlling the surrounding area, and ready to arrest the suspect in one fell swoop.
However, the agreed time had long passed, but the other party did not show up for a long time, no matter how the plainclothes police officer urged him as an "errand boy", the other party repeatedly found reasons to delay time, saying that his "cousin" ran to the wrong place and it would take some time to come.
Later, at the urging of the "errand boy", at about 20:58, a man wearing a mask and a hat appeared in everyone's sight.
After taking the cake, the man walked to the parking lot and picked up another cake from another delivery man.
Seeing the man walk to a hidden place, several people rushed up and arrested the man (Xie).
According to the research and analysis, the police arrested Xie's accomplice Zhang in Hangzhou that night, and seized two "cash cakes" and a "cash bouquet", with an amount of more than 42,000 yuan.
After interrogation, Xie confessed that he was entrusted by his friend Ji to go to the designated place to get the cake. At that time, when Ji explained that he needed to pay attention to concealment, he already knew that there was a problem with this money, but in order to earn some benefits, he still went to get the cake.
At present, Xie X, Zhang X, and Ji X have been sentenced to criminal compulsory measures by the public security organs in accordance with law for the crime of covering up and concealing criminal proceeds and the proceeds of criminal gains. Further investigation is ongoing.
