Scene when Qiao Yu was tried in 2013.
3 years ago, actress Bai Jing was stabbed to death by her husband Zhou Chenghai, and Zhou Chenghai immediately committed suicide, resulting in a family tragedy. Subsequently, the aftermath of the two of them continued to become the content of the news, and a man named Qiao Yu was exposed to intervene in the marriage of Bai Jing and his wife and defraud Zhou Chenghai of huge sums of money.
According to the procuratorate's allegations, Qiao Yu is suspected of defrauding Zhou Chenghai of about 9 million yuan. Prosecutors said that from February to March 2011, Qiao Yu instructed the two men to sprinkle paint on Zhou Chenghai's Mercedes-Benz S350 car on the side of Xiaoyun Road outside the East Fourth Ring Road in Chaoyang District and in the parking lot of the Qingbird Fitness Center of the Zhaolong Hotel in the East Third Ring Road in Chaoyang District, respectively, and based on this, they fabricated false facts to Zhou Chenghai that he had offended the "underworld boss". Qiao Yu lied to Zhou Chenghai that the "underworld boss" wanted to cooperate with Zhou Chenghai to develop real estate projects. In addition, he also fabricated false facts and defrauded Zhou Chenghai of 500,000 yuan, a Patek Philippe watch and a calligraphy painting.
But according to the trial, in the end, the court only found that Qiao Yu defrauded Zhou Chenghai of 2.36 million yuan. The stolen money has been recovered.
The court held that Qiao Yu's conduct constituted the crime of fraud. Taking into account the circumstances such as the recovery of the money defrauded by Qiao Yu, the court sentenced Qiao Yu to 11 years' imprisonment, deprivation of political rights for two years, and a fine of 11,000 yuan for fraud in the first instance.
At present, Zhou Chenghai's family has expressed dissatisfaction with the verdict and said that they will apply to the procuratorate to protest. (Reporter Enron)
