Three conditions for filing a case of fraud in a police station

The conditions for public security organs to file fraud cases are as follows:

1. There are criminal facts: that is, the criminal suspect's behavior has violated the criminal law and constituted a crime. This criminal fact already exists objectively, not subjectively.

2. Need to be investigated for criminal responsibility: that is, it is necessary to punish criminal suspects according to law. If his behavior only constitutes a crime and criminal responsibility should not be investigated according to law, the case shall not be filed.

For example, acts that endanger society by irresponsible persons, or acts that benefit society because of self-defense, emergency avoidance, and performance of official duties.

Another example is that theft does not meet the local criminal filing standards for theft, and this cannot be filed.

3. Self-management: Public security organs can only govern cases under their jurisdiction as stipulated by law, not as stipulated by law, and cases under their jurisdiction cannot be filed.

legal ground

Article 112 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that the people's courts, people's procuratorates and public security organs shall, within the scope of their jurisdiction, promptly examine the materials of reporting, accusing, reporting and surrendering themselves, and if they think that there are criminal facts that need to be investigated for criminal responsibility, they shall file a case;

If it is considered that there are no criminal facts, or the criminal facts are obviously minor, and it is not necessary to pursue criminal responsibility, the case shall not be filed, and the complainant shall be informed of the reasons for not filing the case. If the complainant refuses to accept it, he may apply for reconsideration.

Supplement: How to correctly identify fraud

Fraud refers to the act of defrauding a large amount of public or private property by fabricating facts or concealing the truth for the purpose of illegal possession. In order to correctly identify the crime of fraud, it is necessary to understand the constitutive elements of the crime, including the following aspects:

(a) the object elements, the object of this crime is the ownership of public and private property. The object of the crime of fraud is limited to the property of the state, the collective or the individual, and no other illegal interests may be defrauded.

(2) objective elements, this crime is objectively manifested in the use of fraud to defraud a large amount of public and private property.

1. First of all, the perpetrator committed fraud. Formally speaking, fraud includes two kinds, one is to fabricate facts, the other is to conceal the truth, both of which are essentially behaviors that make victims fall into wrong understanding. The content of fraud is to make the victim have a wrong understanding and make the property disposal that the perpetrator wants under certain circumstances. Therefore, fabricating or concealing past facts, or present facts and future facts, as long as they have the above contents, is a kind of fraud. If the fraudulent content does not make them dispose of their property, it is not fraudulent fraud.

Secondly, fraud makes the other party have a wrong understanding. The misunderstanding of the other party is caused by the fraud of the perpetrator. Even if the other party has some misjudgments, it does not prevent the fraud from being established. Between fraud and the other party's disposition of property, it is bound to involve the other party's misunderstanding. If the other party disposes of the property due to fraud and does not cause misunderstanding, it is not a crime of fraud.

Thirdly, the crime of fraud requires the victim to impose property punishment after falling into a wrong understanding. Disposing of property is manifested as direct delivery of property, or commitment of the actor to obtain property, or commitment to transfer property interests. If the perpetrator commits fraud and makes others give up their property, and the perpetrator picks up the property, he should also be punished as fraud. However, the act of putting a piece of metal similar to a coin into a vending machine to obtain goods in the vending machine does not constitute fraud, but only theft.

Finally, after the victim disposed of the property by fraudulent means, the actor obtained the property, thus damaging the victim's property.

(3) Subject elements: The subject of this crime is a general subject, and any natural person who has reached the legal age of criminal responsibility and has the ability of criminal responsibility can constitute this crime.

(4) Subjective factors. Subjectively, this crime is direct and intentional, with the purpose of illegal possession of public and private property.

Police handling process

Investigation stage:

The public security organ may impose criminal detention on an active criminal or a major suspect. Detainees should be questioned within 24 hours after detention. A criminal suspect may hire a lawyer to provide him with legal advice, complaints and accusations after the first interrogation by the investigation organ or from the day when compulsory measures are taken. The entrusted lawyer has the right to know the charges charged by the criminal suspect from the investigation organ, to meet the criminal suspect in custody and to know the relevant information from the criminal suspect.

Review and prosecution stage:

When examining a case, the people's procuratorate shall interrogate the criminal suspect and listen to the opinions of the victim, the criminal suspect and the person entrusted by the victim. The criminal suspect has the right to entrust a defender from the date when the case is transferred for examination and prosecution. The defendant in a case of private prosecution has the right to entrust a defender at any time.

The people's procuratorate shall, within three days from the date of receiving the case materials transferred for examination and prosecution, inform the criminal suspect that he has the right to entrust a defender. The people's court shall, within three days from the date of accepting a case of private prosecution, inform the defendant that he has the right to entrust a defender.

Defense lawyers may consult, extract and copy the litigation documents and technical appraisal materials of this case from the date when the people's procuratorate examines and prosecutes the case, and may meet and correspond with the criminal suspect in custody.

The people's procuratorate shall make a decision on the case transferred for prosecution by the public security organ within one month, and the major and complicated cases may be extended by half a month.

If the people's procuratorate believes that the criminal facts of the criminal suspect have been ascertained and the evidence is true and sufficient, and criminal responsibility should be investigated according to law, it shall make a decision to prosecute and file a public prosecution with the people's court in accordance with the provisions on trial jurisdiction.

Trial stage:

After the people's court has examined the case in which a public prosecution was initiated, if the facts of the crime alleged in the indictment are clear, and a list of evidence, a list of witnesses and copies or photos of the main evidence are attached, it shall decide to hold a hearing. Except for cases involving state secrets or personal privacy, the people's courts try cases of first instance in public. Since the people's court accepted the case, the defense lawyer can consult, extract and copy the materials of the alleged criminal facts in this case, and can meet and correspond with the defendant in custody. At the trial, the defense lawyer defended the defendant.
