Sequence

The espionage case was cracked again! The state security organs, together with customs, public security and other departments, acted quickly, and suddenly put a family-centered smuggling gang down.

Eight core members, none of whom escaped, were caught, several tons of high purity uranium were searched out on the spot, and the black chain that wanted to smuggle the national life resources to the United States was completely broken, and their behavior was absolutely not forgivable.

A family of smugglers.

The most critical thing in this case is a rare metal called industrial vitamins called antimony.

It is not common, directly linked to national defense security, high-tech industry, is a practical strategic resource, the world's total of such reserves, approximately one hundred and eight million tons, China accounts for one-third.

And looking at the world, only China can produce high-purity uranium on a large scale.

For the sake of strategic security, our country has already included antimony-related things under export control.

Especially for high-purity antimony ingots, the process of transporting them out of the country is particularly strict.

As soon as this policy was implemented, the balance between supply and demand in the global antimony market was directly disrupted.

The international price of antimony has suddenly increased a lot, and the price difference between domestic and foreign countries has exceeded three times.

A ton of high-purity antimony ingots sold through illegal channels can earn hundreds of thousands.

Coupled with the high demand for antimony abroad, some people dare to risk smuggling.

It was under such circumstances that a family secretly formed a smuggling gang in order to make money.

They used family cohesion in the wrong place, turned it into a tool of crime, and built a complete smuggling chain from paying-purchasing-transporting-receiving goods.

Each of the eight core members has a clear division of work, and each link is hidden especially deeply, and is carefully planned in advance.

The group’s overall plan is for a 60-year-old elder in the family who has long lived in Southeast Asia and is at the core of both money management and the key person responsible for cross-border connections.

Because of his overseas status, he can directly link up with the intermediary of U.S. military-industrial enterprises, negotiate the purchase volume and delivery price, the other party's price is $ 80,000 per ton, much higher than the price of domestic control.

In order to escape regulation, he managed three empty shell companies, these companies have no actual business, legal persons exchanged especially hard, registered addresses are also fake office buildings, the only use is to sign fake procurement contracts.

In the name of the production of heavy mechanical accessories, they ordered with a small metallurgy plant in Hunan, demanded the production of purity to reach 99.9 high purity uranium, and also specifically used third-party accounts, in order to mask the flow of funds.

His son is responsible for the execution in China, mainly in charge of the transit and transportation of goods. He hides the goods in an abandoned warehouse near the industrial zone. During the day, the warehouse door is closed, and only late at night does he organize people to load and unload the goods.

In order to mask the clay well, they wrapped the clay with rust-proof oil strictly and effectively, put into a wooden box with the words of industrial raw materials, and then mixed into real mechanical accessories.

There is no problem at all from the appearance. The transportation process is more complicated. They use civilian trucks without obvious markings.

The driver planned the route in advance and specially avoided the key customs inspection areas. The truck carriages were still covered with double black cloth. The loading and unloading personnel wore masks throughout the entire process, deliberately avoiding surveillance, and also specially chose to take the border road in the early morning.

The brother of the chief planner set up an overseas relay station in Vietnam, which is responsible for receiving and washing the goods. After the goods are smuggled out of the domestic border, they will be transported to secret warehouses in Vietnam first.

There, the packaging and origin labels were changed, local trade documents were forged, and antimony ingots made in China were changed into metal processed in Vietnam.

The goods were then shipped to Laos and eventually sent to the United States in the name of third-country exports, so that the true source of uranium was completely concealed.

The remaining five members of the family, respectively responsible for connecting with metallurgy plants, accounting, ventilation and other auxiliary work, formed the closed loop of overseas command, domestic operation, and cross-border shipping.

They felt that they could keep their secrets tightly, but they didn't know that they had long been targeted by the masses.

reports from the masses

The breakthrough in this case was all due to the timely reporting of an enthusiastic public.

Late at night, a villager in a Hunan border county passed through a local metallurgy factory and saw several strange trucks parked at the rear door of the metallurgy factory, and several people were carrying heavy metal blocks wrapped in anti-rust oil into the car.

These metal blocks were tightly sealed, the people who carried things panicked, but also deliberately hid from the surveillance probe, the truck filled up and immediately turned off the lights, looking at the direction was to the border.

The villager instinctively felt that something was wrong and immediately dialed the 12339 National Security Agency's reporting number and explained in detail the truck's characteristics, loading and unloading time and driving route.

After receiving clues to the report, the national security agency immediately launched a multi-department linkage mechanism and established a special working group in conjunction with the Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau and the local public security bureau to start investigations.

After more than a decade of secret investigation, the team made clear the rules of operation and shipment plans of the gang.

The joint action team decided to arrest the goods at the border transfer point where the goods were about to leave the country.

Later, we knew that the clues of the case were by the masses, and netizens said that the vigilance of ordinary people is the first line of defense for national security.

It is precisely because of this kind of national supervision that lawless elements have no place to hide, and everyone should be vigilant.

Arrest in the early morning

The capture operation was selected in the early morning, outside the transit warehouse near the border port, and law enforcement officials had already set up the net.

A total of eight family members were arrested in this operation and five tons of high-purity antimony ingots were seized. It is initially estimated that the amount involved exceeded 10 million yuan.

During the hearing, the suspect disclosed all the facts of the crime.

Since the implementation of export controls, they have successfully smuggled three batches of antimony ingots with a total of twelve tons. They were all transported to a military enterprise in the United States through the same route, earning a total of more than 3 million yuan.

What is even more alarming is that not long before this case was cracked, the national security organs also brought another antimony smuggling gang.

The guy drilled the air, using the characteristics of high uranium density, hid it in the commodities, smuggled it out several times, and finally was caught by the masses, then caught five people, and also searched for several tons of uranium.

Now these cases are controlled according to law, and the seizures are handed over to the relevant state departments to handle.

This group of people has obviously stepped on the legal red line, and what is waiting for them is definitely heavy punishment.

If the circumstances are serious, the maximum sentence can be ended, and the property will also be confiscated.

There have been similar cases before. A main offender smuggled 8,000 tons of antimony ingots and was sentenced to thirteen years and fined several million yuan.

This time this family gang is more exaggerated, not only the high degree of smuggling and purity, but also the suspicion of conspiracy with foreign forces.

The shipping of strategic resources to U.S. military-industrial enterprises is more subjectively malicious and more harmful.

For this, they will be severely punished by law.

conclusion

Strategic resources are very important resources of the country, no matter who, as long as you dare to touch the red line and dare to conspire at home and abroad.

No matter how disguised it may be, no matter how tight the gang is, it will eventually be severely punished by the law, with no exception.
