million-dollar investment in high-security business

in 2021, tang long met brother jie, who was doing "high insurance business" in fujian. brother jie told him,the "high-security business" is to provide transportation and security services for frozen meat smuggled from abroad, and earn high transportation fees from it. a truckload of goods can earn 30,000 yuan in transportation fees.tang long was very excited after hearing this. in february 2023, tang long decided to do something big.

tang long found three relatives and friends to work together, and through a cargo transportation app, he recruited nine truck drivers including wu guang and formed a 14-person security team to escort the large trucks transporting frozen meat.

since frozen meat from overseas epidemic areas is a prohibited item, according to industry regulations, a high deposit must be paid in advance when transporting frozen meat. tang long and others raised 1.52 million yuan to pay the deposit and the team's daily expenses.

after everything was ready, tang long received his first order in early april 2023. after paying a deposit of 1 million yuan, tang long led the entire gaobao team to pick up three trucks of goods on a deserted tidal flat in fuzhou city, fujian province in the early morning of april 22, and then drove off overnight to transport them to luoyang, henan via the highway.

on the highway, five cars sandwiched three large trucks in the middle, responsible for clearing the way in front and providing protection from the rear.on the way, tang long and others found that several cars had been following them along the road, and they seemed to have some plan.as expected, when the convoy was driving into jiangxi province, a truck was forced to stop by several cars following it, and both the truck and the cargo were hijacked by the other party.according to the deposit agreement, this trip caused tang long and others to suffer a direct loss of 200,000 yuan.

some people in the team backed out, but tang long was unwilling to accept defeat. he contacted brother jie, who said that another batch of goods would arrive soon and he would have a chance to make back his investment. tang long encouraged everyone to give it another try, and after the remaining two trucks of goods were safely delivered, they immediately turned back.

on april 25, 2023, after waiting for a night at a mass grave in xiapu county, fujian province, tang long and others received 6 trucks of goods, 2 of which were shipped to guangdong and 4 to henan.

considering the last robbery, it is possible that there was a spy among the truck drivers.this time they learned their lesson and confiscated the truck driver's mobile phone before departure. unexpectedly, the entire transportation process still went wrong.

first, a truck driver heading to guangdong deliberately drove slowly and fell behind, then fled with the cargo. then, on the way to henan, tang long's convoy was robbed again in wuhu, anhui. after a truckload of cargo was robbed, they were still chased by three cars.

holding on to the last glimmer of hope, tang long decided to change course to a friend's place in changzhou, jiangsu province for safety. he parked two trucks of goods in his friend's factory yard and the other truck of goods in front of a local town government.

unexpectedly, the robbery gang followed them in their car. ah sheng, who was guarding the goods, drove his car into the other party in anger, intending to fight to the death with the robbery gang.

in the early morning of april 27, 2023, tang long, who learned the news, called the police.

"hai piao" robbed "gao bao" and was arrested after destroying his car

at the scene of the accident, the police arrested the robbery gang members on the spot and quickly identified the mastermind of the robbery gang, whose online name was "baozi". on may 9, 2023, the police captured him in fuzhou city, fujian province through an ambush and waiting.

"baozi"'s real name is chen qin. he confessed thathe had heard people say that "sea drifting" was very profitable, that it was a matter of robbing and selling frozen meat smuggled from overseas epidemic areas, and that one could make more than 400,000 yuan by robbing a truckload, so he had always wanted to try it.

in november 2022, chen qin met truck driver zhu xiao in lianjiang, fujian, and told him that if he received an order to transport "sea drifters", he could cooperate with him and split the profits in half. zhu xiao was very tempted to think that if he succeeded in one order, it would be equal to his income from half a year of transportation, but he was afraid of going to jail for committing robbery, so he found his colleague wu guang.

zhu xiao told wu guang that he only needed to inform him of his itinerary in a timely manner after receiving the order and cooperate with the robbery gang when they hijacked the car. after the robbery was successful, he would give wu guang 80,000 yuan.zhuxiao instructed wu guang to pay attention to freight orders similar to "high-rail quilt trucks" and "frozen seafood" on a certain cargo transportation platform. such orders may involve smuggling of frozen meat.

in april 2023, wu guang really found such an order, so he took the initiative to contact his employer and joined tang long's high-security team. after arriving in xiapu, he told zhu xiao the pick-up location and truck license plate number. then wu guang's mobile phone was taken away by tang long and others.

zhu xiao used the information wu guang had given him in advance to find their driving route on a certain car network public account and forwarded the clue to chen qin. chen qin immediately called in seven accomplices who had experience in "sea drifting" robbery, drove three cars with fake license plates, and started tracking them in the early morning of april 26.

on the highway, chen qin used a real-time positioning app to track the approximate location of wu guang's truck. zhu xiao, as the middleman, kept providing clues to chen qin. on the 26th, in the ma'anshan section of anhui, chen qin finally caught up with wu guang and tang long's convoy. because tang long arranged five cars to escort the vehicles for protection, chen qin's robbery gang was outnumbered and did not find an opportunity to strike.

in the early morning of april 27, chen qin and others followed tang long's convoy to the gate of a town government in changzhou, jiangsu. just as they were about to take action, they were discovered by the other party and rammed their car. not only did they not steal the goods, but their car was destroyed and the people were arrested.upon investigation, it was found that the two trucks of goods that were robbed by tang long and others were hijacked by other robbery gangs.

90 tons of frozen meat products involved in a case worth 7.2 million yuan

the police seized a total of 90 tons of frozen meat products from the trucks, with the value of the case reaching 7.2 million yuan.after identification, it was found that the frozen meat involved in the case all came from brazil, which is an epidemic area of ​​bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease), and cattle and related products are prohibited from entering the country.

on september 2, 2023, the public security organs transferred the tang long gang to the procuratorate of changzhou economic development zone, jiangsu province for review and prosecution on suspicion of selling food that did not meet safety standards.

due to the large number of people involved and the serious and complex circumstances of the case, the changzhou economic development zone procuratorate intervened at the first opportunity, put forward investigative opinions on the jurisdiction of the case, the characterization of the crime, and the determination of the price of the frozen products involved, and guided the public security organs to improve the case evidence system.

during the review process, how to characterize the behavior of tang long and others in providing transportation security for smuggling activities became a key point in the case.to this end, the institute, together with the public security organs, traveled to xiapu and fu'an in fujian to conduct on-site inspections of the loading locations and verify that the smuggled goods all came from non-customs areas.

according to relevant judicial interpretations, frozen products smuggled into non-customs areas without obtaining national inspection and quarantine access certificates should be considered goods prohibited from import and export by the state.according to article 156 of the criminal law, anyone who conspires with a smuggler to provide him with transportation, storage or other conveniences shall be treated as an accomplice to the crime of smuggling.

on november 28, 2023, the changzhou economic development zone procuratorate changed the characterization of the public security agency and filed a public prosecution against tang long, jie ge and other defendants for suspected smuggling of goods prohibited by the state from import and export, and at the same time filed a civil public interest lawsuit.

on january 17, 2024, the changzhou economic development zone court sentenced tang long to two years in prison and a fine of 150,000 yuan for the crime of smuggling goods prohibited by the state from import and export; jie ge (hu jie) was sentenced to two years and three months in prison and a fine of 250,000 yuan for the crime of smuggling goods prohibited by the state from import and export as a joint crime; other criminal members were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from two years to ten months and fined.

in addition, tang long and others will also bear the relevant expenses of storage and harmless disposal of the frozen meat involved in the case, totaling more than 180,000 yuan, and compensate for the losses caused to the national and social public interests.up to now, all the seized frozen meat has been rendered harmless.

after the prosecution by the procuratorate, the robbery gang was finally caught by the law. on december 6, 2023, chen qin was sentenced to four years and six months in prison and a fine of 35,000 yuan by the changzhou economic development zone court for robbery.

on march 25, 2024, zhu xiao, the leader of the robbery gang who was finally arrested, was sentenced to three years and six months in prison and a fine of 28,000 yuan for robbery by the changzhou economic development zone court. other criminal members of the gang were sentenced to four to three years in prison and fined.
