Chapter 52 Section 52 Hong Kong Evidence Collection

The 588 vehicles smuggled by the Yuanhua Group in 1996 were confirmed by the export manifests found in Hong Kong and the materials of customs clearance, false declarations and false re-exports verified at the Xiamen port, so the smuggling was not considered a problem.But who is the owner?Where is the car?The two major issues are difficult to implement due to a long time.There is another difficulty that is always insurmountable: the engine numbers and chassis numbers of the 588 smuggled cars are nowhere to be found.This is not the same as the smuggled cars found in the "March Storm".

Lai Shuiqiang handed over the 1997 smuggled car collection "water fee" list of 3588 cars. After "dissecting sparrows", "March storm" and "successful persuasion", it can be said that one after another is beautiful. battle.The customs clearance, customs transfer, transportation, and licensing of cars entering the country also went smoothly, and they worried that the investigation of these 3,588 cars would repeat the same mistakes as the investigation and punishment of 588 cars: if there is a case, there is no prosecution, and if there is a crime, no one can be prosecuted.

Zhang Amei's active cooperation and the situation explained made the special case team more clear about the operation of the car smuggling in Hong Kong.But in order to prosecute the person, two pieces of evidence from Hong Kong must be obtained, one is the container number of the Hong Kong departure, and the other is the engine number and frame number of each vehicle.Only when these two aspects of evidence are obtained can the chain of evidence be completed, and it can be completely confirmed with the testimony of Lai Changtu, Zhang Amei and others about the overseas operation process, and finally the criminal can be brought to court!

When the task force studied the detailed list of "water charges" provided by Lai Shuiqiang, they found that the top of the list for the 9704 voyage of "Yuelu Mountain" had faxed to Xiamen at 8:46 on December 29, 1997; there was also a Fax number in Hong Kong: 852－55129102.He didn't let go of this group of inconspicuous numbers.After verification by the Hong Kong side, it was confirmed that it was the fax number of Hong Kong Xingyi Trading Co., Ltd. After confirmation, Lai Changtu explained that the person in charge of Xingyi Company is Chen Zhende, nicknamed "Ade", a member of Hong Kong 14K.He is the organizer of the source of goods for domestic automobile customers of Yuanhua Group to order automobiles in Hong Kong and the declarer for importing and exporting automobiles in Hong Kong, and he is also responsible for packing smuggled automobiles.

Therefore, at the end of March 2000, the automobile team sent personnel to Hong Kong for the first time to collect evidence.The personnel who went to Hong Kong for the first time to collect evidence, with the cooperation and support of Hong Kong, transferred the report of Xingyi Trading Co., Ltd. from March to August 1997, which applied for exporting cars for 18 times, with the listed car plate number on it. Such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, etc., and the number of exports.The country of destination for the application for export is Singapore. Because Xiamen does not allow the import of cars, the smugglers have to go around to Singapore. The total number of exported vehicles on the 18 application forms is 1716 units.

By the end of March, Amei Zhang had confessed a large number of car orders, cabinet loading, declarations, chartering, etc., especially when it came to August 1997, after Xingyi Company’s smuggling was brought into the attention of the Hong Kong Customs, Chen Zhende immediately canceled Xingyi Company. At the same time, he registered Hong Kong Jinxing Trading Co., Ltd. and continued to operate the car smuggling situation, which made the "automobile team" investigators feel that there were gaps in the first visit to Hong Kong to collect evidence; and with the development of the case, they obtained containers exported from Hong Kong The importance of the number, the engine number and the frame number of the car is becoming more and more urgent.

In July 2000, with the approval of the leader of the task force, the investigators went to Hong Kong for the second time.Lao Li and the others used their "emotional diplomacy" skills. During the conversation with the responsible personnel of the relevant parties, they repeatedly stated the important role of relevant evidence in the investigation and punishment of smuggling crimes. To make an iron case, key evidence such as the container number, vehicle engine number, and chassis number must be obtained. Faith will move mountains to open.The Hong Kong side agreed to assist, and started from the declaration of export license materials, including the 1,716 vehicles under the 34 licenses applied by Xingyi Company and the 3,159 vehicles under the 50 licenses applied by Jinxing Company. Copy out the container number, engine number, and chassis number one by one.Lao Li and the others finally returned with a full load.

Yuanhua Group's car smuggling is a certainty, and it is an impeccable case.
