"Special for XX troops" and "special wine for XX bureaus"...... In the storage warehouse of the property involved in the case seized by the police, the reporter of the "Rule of Law Daily" saw rows of liquor products marked with the words "special supply" of XX organs and "special" for reception of XX organs, which were sold to the outside world under the trademark of well-known liquor brands, but in fact, the wine bottles were filled with low-priced bulk liquor.
Not long ago, the public security organs of Yuhuan City, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, cracked a case of illegally making and selling "special" and "special" fake liquor, smashed 11 dens, arrested 15 criminal suspects, and seized more than 1,300 boxes of more than 20 kinds of counterfeit liquor such as "special supply" and "special supply".
The victim reported the scam and the police conducted an in-depth investigation
"At that time, we received a report from the victim, Mr. Li, that he had purchased more than 140 yuan worth of 'Moutai liquor' from the suspect Huang in multiple batches since 2018, which was identified as fake liquor by a professional institution. Lu Zhang, a police officer from the Yuhuan City Public Security Bureau, recalled.
"I knew Huang Moumou before, he had been developing in other provinces before, and later returned to Yuhuan to set up a small processing factory. Occasionally, at a business party, I heard that he had a special channel for buying wine in other provinces, and he could buy 'special' wine at a cheaper price than the market. Mr. Li said that he usually likes to collect high-end liquor, and since then he has purchased thirty or forty cases from Huang.
"One day I took out a few bottles to entertain a friend at home, and my friend drank it and said that there was something wrong, so he began to wonder if he had bought fake wine, so he took some for identification and found that the wine was indeed fake. Mr. Li said.
"After Huang Moumou came into our sight, the public security organs at the Taizhou and Yuhuan levels set up a special case team to carry out research, judgment and investigation. Lu Zhang told reporters: "Huang Moumou met Sun Moumou during his work in the field, and after returning to Taizhou, he often claimed that he had a way in his circle of friends, and sold counterfeit liquor to more than 40 victims, making huge profits." ”
After investigation, since 2017, Huang Moumou, knowing that the liquor he purchased was illegally produced fake liquor, colluded with Sun Moumou, a foreign liquor salesman, to obtain the source of goods, specially ordered "special" and "internal" fake liquor and fake well-known brand liquor, and claimed that the fake liquor sold was "direct supply of liquor through special channels", and used his circle of friends and business relationships to promote a large number of local business operators.
"Private entrepreneurs account for a high proportion of buyers. Gao Chuan, captain of the Public Security Action Brigade of the Yuhuan Public Security Bureau, said: "The modus operandi of this kind of crime is often relatively secretive, and it is sold through internal circles or introductions by acquaintances, so it is difficult to discover cases and collect evidence in the future." Through further verification of Huang, the online dealer Sun and the fake wine production and supply gang Zhang, Tang and Bai were gradually excavated. ”
"Sun is ostensibly a legal person of a liquor research company, but in fact he sells fake liquor for a living. Gao Chuan said: "As a distributor, Sun has channels to buy genuine liquor of well-known brands such as Moutai and Wuliangye, so that the real and fake are mixed, and it is more difficult for consumers to identify." ”
Zhang Moumou and Tang Moumou drove online car-hailing during the day, and at night they produced fake wine in a private house in another province, and sold it all over the country through Bai's professional convenience of working in a logistics company. Lu Zhang said: "It is difficult for express logistics to track specific goods, and they have a strong sense of anti-detection." With the continuous increase in the crackdown in recent years, the modus operandi of suspects in this type of crime has become more and more hidden. ”
The criminal network is intricate, and production, supply and marketing are one-stop
Gao Chuan showed the reporter the advertising pictures in the suspect's mobile phone, in the sauce-flavored liquor, the price of 12 bottles of "special" liquor with the logo of "XX Military Region" was 6,500 yuan per box, and 6 bottles of "XX General Office" were sold for 3,900 yuan per box......
"According to the suspect's confession, these so-called 'special' wines are all produced according to the needs of customers for treats and gifts. Lu Zhang pointed out that the packaging materials used were fake packaging materials bought from packaging material suppliers, and he initially purchased second-hand packaging materials, old bottles, and new wine; Later, the supply exceeded the demand, so it was falsified with reference to the network map. The raw materials used to make "special" and "exclusive" liquor are low-end bulk liquor bought from surrounding shops for filling, the cost is more than ten yuan, the cost of packaging material fraud is about 180 yuan per bottle, and the average illegal profit per bottle is thousands of yuan when it is sold to the outside world.
Subsequently, the police followed the line to track down and defeat another fake wine production and supply gang led by Song and Zhu Moumou, a supplier of packaging materials. So far, all the people involved in the case have been arrested, destroying the whole chain of criminal networks from production to terminal sales.
"This batch of fake liquor involves 89 Moutai-related trademarks and more than 50 Wuliangye-related trademarks, which are difficult for ordinary consumers to identify with the naked eye. Lu Zhang said: "Usually, counterfeit goods are calculated based on the retail price of their authentic products, and there is no reference for 'special' and 'exclusive' wines, and the brand cannot estimate the price." ”
The relevant person in charge of the Food and Drug Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security said that in view of the intertwined characteristics of such crimes and administrative violations such as false publicity, trademark infringement, Internet counterfeiting, endangering food safety and illegal printing, the public security organs and relevant administrative departments have carried out joint law enforcement, strengthened supervision and inspection of key places, and dug deep into the criminal clues of using the Internet, logistics and delivery to sell fake wine. According to the criminal situation of the production and sale of counterfeit goods in key areas, organize and carry out cross-provincial cluster campaigns, cut off the criminal chain of "production, supply and marketing", and earnestly safeguard the people's food safety and the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
Carry out the "clean air" special action to purify the social atmosphere
In recent years, some lawbreakers have fraudulently used the names of the central and state organs and the people's army to make huge profits by bottling, blending, producing, and selling so-called "special" and "exclusive" fake liquors for low-grade liquor.
The reason why "special" and "exclusive" wine is forbidden is that Lu Zhang analyzed: "Entertaining guests with 'special' wine is, in the final analysis, for the sake of face. The public security organs, in conjunction with various departments, have carried out comprehensive management, hoping to change the concept of drinking 'special' and 'exclusive' liquor from 'saving face' to 'losing face'. ”
The reporter noted that the relevant departments issued a notice in 2013 to strictly prohibit the central and state organs from using "special supply" and "exclusive supply" and other logos, and six departments including the Logistics Support Department of the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Notice on Prohibiting the Sale of "Army" Brand Tobacco and Alcohol and Other Commodities in 2022, making it clear that the "special", "reception", "internal recruitment" and "military supply" and "military special supply" and other marks and words sold online and offline are illegal products.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Food and Drug Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, in such cases, criminals deceive and mislead consumers in the name of "special supply" and "exclusive supply", seriously infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, disrupt the normal market order, breed bad social atmosphere, and damage the image of party and government organs and the people's army.
The reporter learned from the Ministry of Public Security that in view of the current prominent problems of fraudulently using the names of party and government organs and the military to produce and sell the so-called "special supply" and "exclusive supply" of fake liquor, the Ministry of Public Security has recently deployed public security organs across the country to carry out a special operation to "clean the wind" to effectively curb the illegal production and sale of "special liquor" criminal activities, purify the social atmosphere, maintain the good image of the party, the government, and the army, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
