Jining 65438+2019 65438+On the morning of February 27th, the case of Zhou Wenxiu et al. 16, which was prosecuted by Jinxiang County People's Procuratorate, was publicly pronounced in the first instance, and Zhou, deputy secretary of the Party Group, deputy procurator-general and post prosecutor of Jinxiang County People's Procuratorate, appeared in court to support the public prosecution. Jinxiang County People's Court sentenced the defendant Zhou Wenxiu to 16 years' imprisonment and confiscated all his personal property for the crimes of organizing and leading underworld organizations, provoking troubles, illegal detention and forging company seals. The other 15 defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from eight years and six months to two years and six months for the crime of participating in an organized crime of underworld nature and the crime of stirring up trouble.

It was found through trial that the defendants Zhou Wenxiu and Zhang Zhuang Zhuang bought Jinxiang Dingteng Trading Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dingteng Company") in Xiujie on June 3, 20 14. Since June 20 14, the defendant Zhou Wenxiu, relying on Dingteng Company, gathered Yuan, Zhang Bing and others to issue high-interest short-term loans to unspecified people in society or in casinos for many times. Zhou Wenxiu first detained Gao Xi. When the loan could not be repaid on time, he gathered many people and forced the debt by violence and coercion. Zhou Wenxiu completed the primitive accumulation and personnel gathering for the initial formation of his underworld organization in the above way. Starting from 20 15, the defendant Zhou Wenxiu relied on Dingteng Company, accepted the entrustment of Jining Admiralty Enterprise Management Consulting Co., Ltd. and other units or individuals, violently intervened in civil economic disputes, organized illegal and criminal activities, and gradually developed into Zhou Wenxiu as the organizer and leader, Yuan, Zhang Bing and Cao Jinlong as the backbone members.

The defendant Zhou Wenxiu led or instructed many people to act as underground law enforcement teams, intervening in civil disputes and economic disputes. By organizing many illegal and criminal activities, such as picking fights, illegal detention and forging company seals, the organization has seized huge economic benefits, seriously undermined the normal working and living order of victims or their relatives, made some victims or their relatives feel afraid to report complaints through normal channels, and seriously undermined the local economic, judicial and social life order. The court held that Zhou Wenxiu, Yuan et al. 16 defendants organized, led and participated in underworld organizations, and organized and carried out criminal activities for many times, which respectively constituted the crimes of organizing and leading underworld organizations, participating in underworld organizations, provoking troubles, illegal detention and forging company seals. The above judgment was made according to the circumstances, nature, guilty attitude, repentance and role of each defendant in the same crime. More than 100 people attended the verdict, including deputies to the National People's Congress, members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, members of the special struggle against evil, news media, relatives of defendants and people from all walks of life. This is the first organized crime case of underworld nature concluded in Jinxiang County since the launch of the special struggle to eliminate evils. The successful handling of this case shows the confidence and determination of procuratorial organs in cracking down on crimes committed by evil forces, effectively safeguarding the healthy development of local economy and the stability of social order, and achieving good political, legal and social effects.
