Guangzhou Customs： Disclosure of the details of the 100 million yuan smuggling case

　 　 　 　 CCTV News:According to the website of the General Administration of Customs, Guangzhou Customs recently informed the outside world that on June 23, 2016, the customs launched a code-named "313" investigation operation, severely cracked down on illegal and criminal activities of smuggling high-value commodities and prohibited imports, and arrested 16 suspects suspected of smuggling, including the principal offender Zeng. Four containers involved were seized on the spot, with a case value of 110 million yuan, cutting off a "multi-gang, multi-line, multi-method, and multi-method" However, this smuggling case with complicated case should start with a simple Internet advertisement.

　 　 　 　　High-profile advertising "tax package" company is miraculous

　　"Our company imports goods at a low price, including tax, with unlimited types, convenient customs clearance and no risk. Please call 138 * * * * * * * Chen Sheng. " At the end of 2015, similar Internet advertisements often appeared in mobile social software, which attracted the attention of the anti-smuggling police of Guangzhou Customs. In these online advertisements, the anti-smuggling police found that the company not only promised that customs clearance would be absolutely safe and smooth, but also dared to undertake any goods (including controlled knives, etc.) and "got it right".

　　What kind of company can be so "miraculous"? The anti-smuggling police of Guangzhou Customs investigated it, and found that there were conversations like "Customs clearance succeeded, easy", "Come to collect money" and "Continue next time" in addition to the advertisement of "tax package", and its capital transaction flow also showed that the company was really "extraordinary".

　　When the anti-smuggling police checked the customs declaration materials, they found that the company not only had a large business volume and a variety of goods, but also had a "personality" in customs declaration. In addition to the normal customs declaration method of directly importing overseas goods from Hong Kong from Guangdong port, the customs declaration goods were often allowed to come for "domestic tourism" — — All the way from Hong Kong to the Yangtze River Delta, customs clearance, and then circuitous to Guangzhou, and then sold to other provinces in China from Guangzhou.

　　How can this seemingly "far-reaching, time-consuming and expensive" import achieve the miraculous effect of "low price tax package"? There must be something fishy behind it, and the Guangzhou Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau decided to find out.

　 　 　 　　"Pay attention to" the technique and carefully design to evade investigation.

　　"Boss, the goods have been cleared."

　　"After the freight is delivered to the destination, throw away the mobile phone card."

　　"Roger that!"

　　This is not a movie bridge, but a real situation within this "miraculous" company. The anti-smuggling police of Guangzhou Customs found that although the advertisement of this gang was simple and rude, the smuggling process was very "exquisite". The consignee will ask multiple drivers in the transportation link to purchase new mobile phone cards specially, and constantly change their contact information during the implementation of smuggling activities to avoid customs investigation.

　　With the in-depth investigation, the anti-smuggling police judged that this was a smuggling criminal gang with strong anti-investigation consciousness and professional criminal characteristics. Most of the main members have the background of international trade, international logistics and cross-border transportation, and are familiar with international trade and import and export customs clearance rules; Or have the experience of being attacked by law enforcement departments, and be familiar with the procedures of handling cases in public security law. In addition, the gang set up a "shell" company dedicated to smuggling and customs declaration, confusing the anti-smuggling police.

　　Smuggling gangs are familiar with the handling mode of the customs anti-smuggling police, and put "smoke bombs" in a targeted manner, and the clues are caught in a "fog".

　　Every cloud has a silver lining. A message from the General Administration of Customs cleared the "fog" in front of the anti-smuggling police. On May 5th, the Customs seized a smuggling case of "switching packages" by cutting and closing the locks on the way from the Yangtze River Delta, seized 4 containers, arrested 18 people involved on the spot, and seized a batch of smuggled goods with a case value of about 20 million yuan. After the information of the collision case, Guangzhou Customs boldly concluded that the same smuggling gang was behind the scenes, but the smuggling routes and methods were changed. This smuggling gang headed by Zeng entered the vision of the anti-smuggling police of Guangzhou Customs.

　 　 　 　　The Pearl River Estuary confronts greed and smuggling.

　　Just as the customs is in full swing to conduct external investigation and evidence collection, a gang in Zeng has a strong response to smuggling setbacks. In order to recover losses, they continue to use Internet advertisements to solicit business, and a confrontation between smuggling gangs and customs anti-smuggling police is about to begin.

　　On May 25, 2016, the Golden Waterway in the Pearl River Estuary was full of ships. A secretly refitted "Sui XX" ship was loaded with containers, mixed in the legally operated ship flow and quietly entered the country. Guangzhou customs anti-smuggling police have already opened their pockets and dispatched anti-smuggling boats to intercept them in one fell swoop.

　　Boarding the intercepted ship, the anti-smuggling police found that some hull structures could not enter, inferring that there was a hidden compartment. After lifting the mountain of containers on the ship, I found the humble iron gate hidden in the side cabin, which contained some smuggled goods. Not only that, after careful investigation, the anti-smuggling police found that there were other sealed dark cabins on the ship and decided to cut them with electric grinding wheels.

　　"Zhi … …” Accompanied by the harsh cutting sound is a splash of iron flower, "through! Passed! " The anti-smuggling police in charge of cutting exclaimed with surprise, and finally successfully broke the dark cabin after fully consuming seven blades. The well-informed anti-smuggling police were also surprised by the "treasures" in the secret compartment. In addition to the traditional smuggled goods such as imported red wine, milk powder, power supply for communication equipment and waste tires piled up in a hill, there were actually a large number of controlled knives, air guns and military crossbows that were forbidden to be imported in the secret compartment. After counting, there were more than 180.

　　In this head-on confrontation, the smuggling gangs lost their troops, and the anti-smuggling police grasped the fact that the smuggling gangs smuggled a lot, laying a solid foundation for speeding up the investigation of the whole case. More importantly, the anti-smuggling police boldly speculated that this arrogant opponent who dared to brag and compensate the "customer" for the loss by "insurance" would definitely take risks again in order to make up for the loss.

　 　 　 　　The fog gradually dispersed and the customs attacked Huanglong.

　　Sure enough, less than a month after the confrontation, the smuggling gangs began to stir again and began to plan new smuggling routes.

　　At this time, after several days of hard work, the anti-smuggling police have thoroughly mastered the personnel structure, division of labor and smuggling operation law of this smuggling gang with Zeng as the core. It turns out that a gang of Zeng used Internet advertisements to solicit import business at home and abroad, and colluded with professional smuggling gangs such as Huang and Zhang to smuggle a large number of high-value commodities and goods such as red wine, auto parts, integrated circuits and stereos, and even smuggled prohibited items such as controlled knives in the form of "layer-by-layer tax payment" by "shifting packages" during transit across customs areas, falsely reporting the names of goods and hiding small ships going to and from Hong Kong and Macao, which not only evaded state taxes.

　　"In order to avoid customs investigation, this gang is constantly changing smuggling routes. At present, we have as many as six smuggling routes. It is rare to design so many smuggling routes in just a few months." The relevant person in charge of the Anti-smuggling Bureau of Guangzhou Customs said, "Some of the goods involved were shipped from Hong Kong, detoured to the Yangtze River Delta, declared for import in the name of low-value goods, smuggled through customs, and then transported back to Guangdong to hand over to the shipper."

　　When the time is right, close the net immediately! On the morning of June 23, the unified investigation and arrest operation codenamed "3.13" was carried out simultaneously in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places. The customs anti-smuggling police formed several action teams, and at the same time appeared at the door of the suspect’s residence, the company building and the customs clearance site where the smuggled goods were located, and arrested 16 smuggling suspects such as Zeng; At the same time, a new batch of smuggled goods that just arrived at the supervision site were also seized by the customs on the spot.
