A number of Taiwanese suspects were escorted from Spain to the mainland for trial.
Twenty-nine Taiwanese suspects who were escorted from Spain to mainland China for trial in June last year were involved in impersonating staff from the mainland’s immigration authorities and other departments to defraud mainlanders in China and Hong Kong by telecommunication. 14 people were defrauded, losing 6.17 million yuan (about HK$7.42 million).
The Beijing First Intermediate People’s Court on Thursday (31) sentenced them to four and a half to 14 years in prison for their actions, which constitute fraud.
The court found that Guo Zhengmake gathered Wu Daihua, Cai Junwei and others to form a fraudulent criminal group in Spain from June to December 2016, using telecommunication network technology to defraud mainland people. By posing as staff of the mainland’s Immigration Bureau, Public Security Bureau and Procuratorate, they falsely claimed that the victims were suspected of crimes due to leakage of personal information, etc., and lured them into remittances and transfers under the pretext of being subject to investigation and asset preservation.
The court held that their actions constituted fraud and the amount of fraud was particularly huge, and they needed to be held criminally responsible. Guo Nan and others formed a criminal organization and impersonated mainland judiciary staff to commit fraud, and had defrauded elderly people and school students, etc., and needed to be punished severely. Guo Nan and the others pleaded guilty in court and pleaded guilty, so the court issued an appeal verdict.
