上海女与德籍男混迹深圳富豪圈 3年骗3亿


2014年6月10日07:34

广东高院终审判处郑利无期徒刑;判处涉案德籍男子有期徒刑8年附加驱逐出境

新快报讯 记者黄琼 张国锋 通讯员马远斌 王芳报道 上海美女郑利与德国人罗伯特混迹深圳富豪圈,在3年时间里诈骗数额超过3亿元人民币。

昨天,广东高院对该案作出终审判决,认定二人构成合同诈骗罪,判处郑利无期徒刑,剥夺政治权利终身,并处没收个人全部财产;判处罗伯特有期徒刑8年,并处罚金人民币120万元,附加驱逐出境。

打入富豪圈大肆行骗


经查明,2007年至2010年间,有着大学文化的上海美女郑利使用“林意”、“黄少妹”、“蒋林意”、“黎菊梅”等虚假身份,伙同一名叫罗伯特的德国籍男子,对外谎称罗是德国某大家族继承人、国外某大型基金管理人等,先后通过钻石交易、合作投资、代为理财等幌子,共同或单独诈骗林某等6名被害人的巨额财物。仅就法院认定的数额,郑利参与诈骗的财物数额就超过3亿元人民币,罗伯特参与诈骗的财物数额亦超过1.4亿元人民币。

2013年12月,深圳中院作出一审判决。被告人郑利犯合同诈骗罪,判处无期徒刑,剥夺政治权利终身,并处没收个人全部财产;犯伪造居民身份证罪,判处有期徒刑3年;数罪并罚,决定执行无期徒刑,剥夺政治权利终身,并处没收个人全部财产。被告人罗伯特犯合同诈骗罪,但因为其属于从犯,起次要作用,遂得以减轻处罚被判处有期徒刑8年,并处罚金人民币120万元,附加驱逐出境。

终审撤一罪刑期不变

一审宣判后,两被告人不服提起上诉。广东高院经过审理,维持了对郑利和罗伯特犯合同诈骗罪的定罪和量刑,但撤销了对郑利伪造居民身份证罪的定罪和量刑。

据广东高院审判长介绍,现有证据证实郑利持有并使用了“林意”等4个内容虚假的户籍资料及居民身份证,但不能证实相关居民身份证是郑利伪造的,其行为不符合刑法规定的伪造居民身份证罪的犯罪构成要件,一审认定郑利犯伪造居民身份证罪缺乏法律依据,二审法院因此予以撤销。但由于维持了一审法院对郑利合同诈骗罪的定罪和量刑,因该罪一审量刑已是无期徒刑,故最终刑期未发生变化。

Woman caught peeing in Pinnacle@Duxton lift

SINGAPORE : A woman has been caught on camera peeing in the lift at one of the blocks at The Pinnacle@Duxton.

The indiscretion, which took place in Lift E at Block 1E on May 23 at 8.22pm, has shocked residents.

“I thought it was from a pet,” resident Dr Irene Sim was quoted as saying. “Pinnacle is a nice estate and this shouldn’t happen here. The lift was sticky and the stench persisted.”

Tanjong Pagar Town Council has put up notices showing pictures of the woman in the act. Although the culprit has not been caught, urination in the lift has since stopped.

This is not the first time this has happened at the estate.

MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC Dr Lily Neo said that there have been a few complaints in May and “only when we have no choice do we publish a picture in the hope that somebody would own up”.

She added that a 15-year-old boy owned up and apologised after similar posters were put up.

Those caught urinating in public places can be fined up to $150. Repeat offenders can be charged in court.

During a flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong via Taipei, a US citizen of Taiwanese descent installed pinhole cameras in the business class toilets of a China Airlines plane, reports the Hong Kong-based Oriental Daily News.

A flight attendant found the camera and reported it to the captain, who in turn called the aviation police in Taiwan to arrest the peeping Tom.

The culprit, surnamed Liu, did not admit his crime until the aviation police found six pinhole cameras and four external hard drives in his carry-on baggage. Among the six cameras, two were already assembled. The police speculated that Liu planned to use the remaining four on the flight from Taipei to Hong Kong. Liu admitted that he had assembled the cameras before boarding and planted them in the trash cans in toilets as soon as he got on board, planning to retrieve them before landing. He insisted that the police refrain from accessing the hard drives until his lawyer arrived.

Liu also denied the police's offer to contact the American Institute in Taiwan for help because he feared that his wife and children in the US would find out about his behavior.

The police suspect Liu of carrying out similar deeds on other flights and are conducting further inquiries.

Cheng Ko-sheng, a Taiwanese lawyer, said that the offender will likely be charged with offenses relating to protection of secrets with a sentence of at most three years imprisonment or a fine of US$10,000. If the offender has sold images taken from the pinhole cameras, the charge will be offenses against sexual morality, which carries a maximum two-year sentence.

According to private detective Chang Ta-wei, pinhole camera production has shifted to China, making it more accessible and cheaper. Generally speaking, a pinhole camera is difficult to hide in a tiny airplane toilet. Chang speculated that Liu disassembled several pinhole cameras and reassembled the parts into a new one which was thin enough to hide.


 

Private school spotlighted for child abuse

Xinhua, June 28, 2014

Tong Tong is confined to her sickbed with critical brain injuries at a time when her peers are cramming for tests and looking forward to six weeks of summer vacation.

The nine-year-old from north China's Hebei Province suffered a brain hemorrhage following alleged beatings from her teacher at a private school in the suburbs of Beijing. The incident has shocked China and aroused concerns over supervision of private schools.

Two weeks into hospital, Tong Tong still has a high fever. In fits of acute headache, she bangs her head with her fists, trying desperately to stop the pain.

Her mother, Zhang Xuemei, never expected the girl could have been abused by a teacher she trusted. Zhang Hongxia, 52, promised to take charge of the child and teach her Chinese classics and philosophy, subjects beloved by Zhang Xuemei.

"I was so proud of my daughter," Zhang Xuemei told Xinhua. "She could recite long lines from Chinese classic primers when she was barely two years old."

When Tong Tong was a preschooler, her mother taught her about the works of ancient philosophers including Confucius and Mencius.

In February, her mother forced her to quit school in order to attend Zhang Hongxia's private tutorial class. Zhang said she would teach Chinese classics on the virtue of women.

"I've read these classics myself and believe they are must-read books for girls," said Zhang Xuemei.

She trusted Zhang Hongxia because the woman ran another charity campaign to offer free meals to over-70s in her home village of Wangchangxiang in Xingtai City. "She seemed like such a loving person, and I hoped Tong Tong would grow up to be like her."

The two Zhangs got to know each other via an online forum on Chinese classics. Both are natives of Hebei Province, heightening how close they felt to each other.

So Zhang Xuemei put her daughter under Zhang Hongxia's custody, without checking for herself what kind of school she was running.

The girl was taken to Zhang's home-run class in Beijing's outer Shunyi District. For three months, the mother and daughter did not meet.

On May 26, Zhang Xuemei received a call from the teacher. She was told Tong Tong had a skin disease and needed medication.

When she hurried to the private school about 40 km northeast of Beijing's capital international airport, Zhang found her daughter in a feeble condition, with bruises everywhere.

"She told me Zhang beat her constantly and knocked her head on walls. I found later her collarbone was broken," said the tearful mother. "She was even forced to eat stool."

Beijing police detained Zhang Hongxia on May 30. She admitted to maltreating the child.

Police have launched an investigation into the case.

Zhang Hongxia was also found to have posted Tong Tong's photos on the web, with captions indicating she was an abandoned child and needed cash donations.

Tong Tong was sent to a hospital in her home city Baoding. After two weeks of treatment, her condition has not improved. Besides the hemorrhage, her psychological trauma was also to blame for her symptoms, according to Tong Tong's doctor, Lu Kewen.

"She will need further medication at a better hospital in Beijing," said Zhang Xuemei.

When Tong Tong recovers, Zhang said she will send her back to a public school. "I'll still teach her classics, but I will not blindly trust anyone any more."

As an increasing number of Chinese people are hoping to revive ancient traditions, private tutorials on classics are mushrooming in many cities. Some are full-time workshops, while others teach only on weekends and holidays. Classrooms are found in diverse settings from homes and office buildings to temples.

"Some of these classes are not properly licensed, while others are simply registered as consulting companies," said Prof. Zhang Congjun, a liberal arts specialist at Shandong University of Art and Design.

Despite her alleged abusive behavior, Zhang Hongxia's private school is licensed, ironically, as a charity program under her non-governmental organization which she claims promotes public welfare for children and the elderly.

"Though it's good for children to study classics and traditions, parents must be rational while making choices," said Prof. Zhang.


 

Angered man smashes his new Tesla Model S

A customer has smashed his newly bought Tesla Model S in order to demonstrate his anger at the customer service, China National Radio reports.

A man surnamed Yu, from Inner Mongolia, got his car key on Saturday morning for a Tesla Model S, which he had finished all payments the day before. The battery-powered car cost him more than 1 million yuan.

But he was quite disappointed, saying, "It's not what I expected, it's just an exhibit, just the same as getting a second-hand car instead of a new one. It's quite unacceptable." He began to smash the car with a hammer and damaged it badly.

The main reason Yu smashed the Tesla was his dissatisfaction with the attitude of the retailers. Although he had paid the deposit last October, he found himself not on the list of first delivery just because he's not from Beijing or Shanghai, which he regarded as 'geographical discrimination'. Since then, he hasn't been able to get his new car.

To make a compromise, Tesla offered to replace it with a new car which completed the entry procedure. But for Yu, that's just the same as getting a second-hand car.

Yu also explained that he could only get rid of legal responsibilities by smashing the car after he fully paid for it.

Tesla China has not made any response to the case yet.

 


30-mln people no longer secured with permanent Job

CRI, July 3, 2014

China's government-sponsored institutions are eliminating their permanent employment scheme, and are embracing contract-based employment.

This means some 30-million government employees are losing their so-called "iron rice bowls."

A new regulation on the employment policy of China's public institutions is taking effect on July 1.

Over 30-million people in some 1-million government-sponsored institutions are no longer secured with permanent job offers.

Yin Weimin is the Minister of Human Resources and Social Security. He says this is so far the most significant move in the reform of labour force management in China.

"To define the relation between public institutions and their employees as a 'contractual' or terminable, is a major step forward. The new regulation helps to establish an employment scheme based on terminable contracts, encourage fair competition, bring both incentives and restraints, and better protect employees' rights."

Yin adds that the new scheme aims to optimize the recruitment and promotion procedure in public institutions, which means those permanent workers could also get laid off.

Previously, permanent employees in public institutions were not included in the social welfare system, but their wage and benefits are considered as much more favorable than those in ordinary enterprises.

Analysts say this reform should be based on a fair and inclusive social welfare system, so that the once permanent staff members need not worry if they get laid off.

According to the new regulation, employees in public institutions will be covered by the social welfare system.

But Wu Jiang, Director of the Chinese Academy of Personnel Science, says the paper did not lay out how it is going to proceed.

"Welfare scheme for the public institution is in parallel with the national social welfare system. The new regulation has just pointed out a general direction for the next move. But it did not have specific explanation on how the two schemes will be merged."

In fact, many cities in China have started their trial programs since 2002. So far, over 90-percent of those once permanent employees in public institutions across the country have signed terminable contracts with their employers.

A Taiwanese college student has taken swift action against a man she claims groped her on the Shanghai Metro, who turned himself in after an internet manhunt prompted by an uploaded video of the incident. The man has denied the charges, reports our Chinese-language sister paper China Times.

The student, surnamed Yu, said she felt two touches on her thigh but she could not tell whether the touch was intentional and also had no witness. As a result, she did not catch Wang red-handed.

Another passenger however had captured the act on their mobile phone and uploaded the video to the internet. Yu saw the video and was convinced of Wang's malicious intention and overcame her initial reservations to report him to the police.

An online manhunt for the individual in the video led to Wang Qikang, deputy director of the business division of the state-owned JinJiang Travel and president of its Labor Union. Wang turned himself to the police when outed by internet users but denied groping Yu, claiming that he touched her accidentally when asleep.

JinJiang International Group issued a statement on July 7 to say the group and the members of its disciplinary committee are taking the incident seriously. The statement also called for further education for all party members and staff.


 

Fraudsters in Beijing pose as military officers and officials

Chinese media have reported a growing number of fraud cases in Beijing where impostors have posed as military officers or officials to con their victims out of money.

The Chinese-language Procuratorial Daily, published by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, reported that Dong Xianwei, 59, was recently taken into custody by prosecutors in Beijing for having cheating people out of over 4 million yuan (US$645,000) over the past decade.

Dong took on the identity of a senior colonel from the Snow Leopard Commando Unit, a special counter-terrorism unit under the People's Armed Police, and charged his clients for assisting with admission into military schools, transfer of positions and employment as public servants.

Impostors like Dong tend to be well equipped with stamps and certificates to show their identity, and those who pretend to be affiliated with fictitious organizations or take on fictitious titles have to make extra preparations.

In one case, a farmer called Chen Guanghua deceived hundreds of people who applied to be his proxies as chief commander of a made-up United Nations organization from 2007 to 2014.

As head of the Chinese command for a global project under the UN, Chen issued five stamps, including one for the UN in English, another for a "military committee" under the UN and one for the treasury of the Chinese command. Chen also owns a stamp bearing his own name, the daily revealed.

He posted online recruitment notices for the organization and charged each applicant up to 1,000 yuan (US$160), according to the daily.

Liu Dan, a prosecutor in Beijing, said he had handled a dozen such cases of fraud over the past year. Nearly 100 victims were reported, Liu said, with cases involving sums ranging from tens of thousands of yuan to millions.

The prosecutor said fraudsters take advantage of the trust and respect the public show to military officers.

Citing the case of Han Xiao, who pretended to be a lieutenant colonel from the Snow Leopard Commando Unit, Liu said Han seduced several women and swindled them out of over 100,000 yuan (US$16,000).

Han persuaded his victims into lending him money to buy plane tickets to Germany for overseas study, among other excuses.

Impostors have also been known to pose as the deputy heads of organizations, as there is less information available online about these positions compared with the organizations' leaders.

 

Hubei woman charged for using puffer fish poison to kill boyfriend

The Prosecutors Office in Wuhan, Hubei province, formally charged a woman surnamed Xiao on Wednesday for killing her boyfriend with puffer fish poison.

Xiao called police in mid-November last year and claimed her boyfriend died suddenly at her rented house. The woman became the main suspect in the case after a forensic report confirmed the cause of death was puffer fish poison. She said that her boyfriend drank the yogurt she had tainted with ground up sleeping pills and puffer fish poison that was in her refrigerator.

The 33-year-old woman from Yicheng in northwestern Hubei met the boyfriend, who was six years younger than her, when she began working for a software company in Wuhan in October 2012. Xiao studied in Germany between 2008 and 2011 and had married once before.

The two began living together in February last year and Xiao found out she was pregnant in early September. Her boyfriend was not happy with her pregnancy, however, and the two has several altercations. The victim moved out of the house they shared but continued to offer support for her. In early November, Xiao fell ill and her doctor said she would not be able to go to full term and suggested an abortion.

She claims she became depressed after this and reasoned that if she were dead, her boyfriend would feel regret. Xiao said she had heard the poison of the puffer fish can cause a painless death, so she found a company selling the poison and bought some for 5,000 yuan (US$805) on the company's website.

She invited her boyfriend over on Nov. 11. Xiao said he wanted to relax his feet in hot water, so she left her boyfriend alone for around 20 minutes to prepare a foot bath. He complained about dizziness and sleepiness when she was massaging his feet, however, leading Xiao to suspect he had drunk from the poisoned yogurt, she said. She then says she was extremely upset, drank the rest of the yogurt and passed out. Xiao says she came around at around 11pm on the same day but lost consciousness again after trying to towel dry her boyfriend's feet. She then said she regained consciousness at noon the next day and found her boyfriend dead.

Over the next seven days, she stayed by his body, put new clothes on him and put lipstick on his mouth. Xiao wrote notes to both of their parents and bought more poison intending to kill herself, she says. Her cousin came over and stopped her from committing suicide, after which she handed herself into the police, according to Xiao.

Police were not convinced by Xiao's version of events and suggested she attempted to murder her boyfriend on the grounds that she purchased and mixed the poison into yogurt, invited the boyfriend to her rented house and did not try to save him after coming to the realization that he had been poisoned. Before she turned herself in, Xiao also used the boyfriend's phone to ask leave from his company, lied to his family about his health and sold the computer she used to purchase the poison. Police found a message she posted on the internet ask whether one should commit suicide or go to police after killing someone.

Three of a group of seven people who attempted suicide by drinking pesticide outside a Beijing newspaper office yesterday are now said to be out of danger.

Reports did not give the condition of the other four members of the group, who are involved in a demolition dispute in the eastern Jiangsu Province.

They had come to the capital to petition the government and get attention for their dispute with officials in their hometown.

Passers-by saw the group of middle-aged people collapse outside the China Youth Daily about 8:10am and start frothing at the mouth. Pesticide bottles lay nearby.

Ambulances were called and took them to hospitals in the city. Three, including two men aged 48 and 56, are no longer in danger, The Beijing News reported.

An insider with the China Youth Daily told the Oriental Morning Post that the group came to Beijing to lodge complaints. "We found petitioning materials at the scene," the insider said.

The materials claimed that an individual called Cai Fuxi, a resident in the Qingyang Town in Hongsi County, had been placed in a "black jail" — where petitioners are sometimes illegally held to prevent them presenting their grievances in the capital.

Cai was among a group whose houses were to be pulled down but were unhappy with the compensation offered.

The petition claimed that on September 24, 2013, the Party chief of Sanli subdistrict led dozens of people to drag them to the police station.

There Cai was held for 52 hours without food or water and was not allowed to sleep, according to petitioners.

Finally, he gave in and signed an agreement, the petitioners claimed.

The petition was signed by a villager named Jiang Yanjun, confirming the accusations.

Jiang said the group came to Beijing a month ago to try to gain media coverage.

He said they had talked of a suicide bid, but that he knew nothing about yesterday’s incident, the Oriental Morning Post reported.

Wang Jianbing, husband of one of the petitioners, said his wife had been illegally held for eight years over land issues.

Five cult members charged for intentional homicide


Xinhua, July 24, 2014

Five cult members have been charged with intentional homicide, China's Supreme People's Procuratorate announced on Thursday.

Yantai City People's Procuratorate in east China's Shandong Province filed the charge against the suspects with Yantai Intermediate People's Court on July 21.

Zhang Fan, Zhang Lidong, Lyu Yingchun, Zhang Hang and Zhang Qiaolian have been charged with intentional homicide for the murder of a customer in a McDonald's outlet.

A woman surnamed Wu was beaten to death on May 28 at the restaurant in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong, after she refused to give her telephone number to the suspects, who were allegedly trying to recruit new members to their cult Quannengshen, which means "almighty god."

"The circumstances are especially serious, their means are especially cruel, and the aftermath is especially serious," the indictment said.

According to the indictment, suspects Zhang Fan, Zhang Lidong and Lyu Yingchun have also been charged with disrupting public order.

After Quannengshen was banned, the three continued to conduct cult activities, organize gatherings for members, produce and disseminate the cult's information via the Internet, and recruit new members, the indictment said.

Their activities have "undermined the implementation of laws and administrative rules and the circumstances are serious," it said.


 

12 convicted of illegal organ trading in east China

Xinhua, July 26, 2014

Twelve suspects were sentenced to prison terms of up to nine and a half years for illegally trading human organs on Friday in east China's Jiangxi Province.

Chen Feng, head of the criminal gang, started the organ trade operation in May 2011 with Jiang Zhenglin. Chen and others were responsible for looking for suppliers and buyers while Jiang, a doctor by profession, was in charge of performing medical operations.

They claimed online to pay more than 100,000 yuan (16,000 U.S. dollars) per kidney. Among nearly 40 potential "suppliers" they had recruited, 23 had one of their kidneys removed for illegal transplants.

However, the victims did not get paid the amount promised. The gang led by Chen made illegal profits of more than 1.5 million yuan (over 247,800 U.S. dollars) from October 2011 to February 2012.

Chen alone made 435,000 yuan (over 69,600 U.S. dollars) through the unlawful trade. He was sentenced to nine and a half years in prison. Jiang, who is suspected of involvement in other crimes, will have his verdict announced later.

The boy was traveling with his parents and grandparents, who insisted on letting the young boy defecate despite protests from other passengers and flight attendants.

A passenger cited by the newspaper said the parents spread newspaper on the seat so that the boy could defecate. The smell then spread throughout the cabin.

Many netizens recalled the infamous photo of a Chinese kid defecating publicly on the street in Hong Kong, which caused a similar furor. Some netizens stated that this was a great stain on the history of Chinese civilization, while others sympathized with the parents and said getting caught short can happen to anyone.
