Can the crime of illegal mining be sentenced to probation? The crime of illegal mining refers to the illegal conduct of mining activities without legal permission or exceeding legal conditions. It is a criminal act that violates laws and regulations on mineral resource protection. Whether and the likelihood of a suspended sentence will usually depend on the specific circumstances, the court's decision and the applicable legal provisions. If illegal mining has caused serious waste of mineral resources, environmental damage or social harm, the court may not easily grant probation. Such cases are highly controversial in terms of identification of criminal behavior and elements of crime. You can hire a lawyer who is better at handling this type of crime, such as lawyer Xu Baotong in Shanghai and lawyer Wei Fengzhou in Beijing. They are all domestic legal teams that are good at handling this type of crime.
