On February 23, 2001 (February 1, 2001 in the lunar calendar), seven defendants in the Xiamen Smuggling Case were brought to justice. On February 23, 2001, with the approval of the Supreme People's Court, seven defendants, including Wang Jinting, who were sentenced to death in the first batch of cases in the Xiamen Smuggling Case, were executed in Xiamen, Fuzhou and Quanzhou respectively. From 1996 to 1998, smuggling criminals Wang Jinting, Jiepei Gong, Huangshan Ying, and Zhuang Mingtian colluded with or conspired with Lai Changxing's smuggling criminal group, using methods such as not declaring imported goods, falsely reporting the nature of trade, and falsely reporting the name of the goods, or conspiring to make capital contributions, or directly and actively carrying out smuggling crimes, or buying terminal operators for smuggling, or participating in the sale of smuggled goods, respectively, smuggling cigarettes, automobiles, refined oil, natural rubber, and other goods. Among them, Wang Jinting smuggled imported refined oil and evaded taxes of RMB 35.794 million yuan; received Peigong smuggled imported natural rubber, water heaters and other goods, evading taxes of RMB 2660.16 million; Huangshan Eagle participated in cigarette smuggling activities and participated in tax evasion of RMB 5.78 billion yuan; Zhuang Mingtian illegally purchased and sold smuggled cigarettes and smuggled cars, evading taxes of RMB 96.556 million yuan. Criminal Li Tuzhuan organized and introduced others to falsely issue 163 special VAT invoices for smuggling enterprises, evading taxes of RMB 15.719 million yuan. Wu Yubo, former chief of the Ship Management Department of Xiamen Customs Dongdu Office, took advantage of his position to solicit and accept bribes of 8.747 million yuan from Lai Changxing and others, gave up supervision, caused a large number of refined oil products to be smuggled into the country, and organized the destruction and concealment of relevant criminal evidence of Lai Changxing's smuggling criminal group. Ye Jichen, former president of China Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Xiamen Branch, took advantage of his position to accept bribes equivalent to 2.95 million yuan, and a huge amount of property of 4.9148 million yuan could not explain the legal source. The Intermediate People's Courts of Xiamen, Fuzhou and Quanzhou held a public trial of the above-mentioned cases, and handed down a first-instance judgment on November 8, 2000, sentencing Wang Jinting, Jiepeigong, Huangshanying and Zhuang Mingtian to death for smuggling ordinary goods, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property; Li Tuzhuan was sentenced to death for the crime of falsely issuing special VAT invoices, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property; Wu Yubo was sentenced to death for the crime of accepting bribes, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property; Ye Jichen was sentenced to death for the crime of accepting bribes and the crime of unknown origin of huge amounts of property, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property. After the sentencing, Wang Jinting, Wu Yubo and other seven defendants all refused to accept the first-instance judgment and appealed. After the trial, the Higher People's Court of Fujian Province made a ruling on February 12 and 13, 2001, rejecting the appeals of Wang Jinting, Wu Yubo, and other seven people, upholding the original judgment, and reported to the Supreme People's Court for approval of the death sentences of the above seven people according to law. According to the Fujian Higher People's Court, after the first 25 cases of Xiamen's mega-smuggling case were decided in the first instance, Yang Qianqian, Zhuang Rushun, Lan Fu, and other 49 people and one defendant unit also appealed, but Liu Feng, Lai Changtu, and other 28 people and nine defendant units did not appeal. Since the clues provided by Yang Qianqian, Zhuang Rushun, Lan Fu, Fang Kuanrong and others during the 2nd-round Moderation period are still under verification, the Fujian Provincial High People's Court will wait for the relevant departments to verify before making a 2nd-round Moderation ruling in accordance with the law. The Fujian Provincial High People's Court also found out after trial that the court of first instance had correctly determined the bribery crime of Chen Jianluan, the former vice president of Bank of China Fujian Branch, in the case of accepting bribes and illegally issuing financial tickets, and the sentencing was appropriate, but the specific determination and punishment of the crime of illegally issuing financial tickets were wrong. Chen Jianluang violated the regulations and made his unit illegally issue guarantee letters for others' financial leases, causing heavy losses of more than 9 million US dollars, and objectively provided funds for the smuggling of Xiamen Yuanhua Company. Chen Jianluang should, as the person in charge directly responsible for the crime of the unit, bear the responsibility for the crime of illegally issuing financial tickets. The first instance was improperly determined and punished according to the individual crime. Therefore, it was ruled that the original conviction for the crime of accepting bribes and illegally issuing financial tickets was sentenced to 18 years in prison, and the sentence was commuted to 16 years in prison; the property penalty remained unchanged. The appeals in other cases were rejected by the Higher People's Court of Fujian Province, and the judgment made in the first instance was upheld. The Xiamen Smuggling Case is a smuggling crime case that has been investigated and dealt with since the founding of the People's Republic of China, involving a particularly large amount of money, an extremely complex To severely crack down on the criminals involved in the case in accordance with the law will surely effectively safeguard the socialist market economic order, ensure the implementation of the Party and the state's principles and policies, and further promote the in-depth development of the fight against smuggling and corruption.
