According to Article 243rd of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), whoever fabricates facts and falsely accuses others with the intention of making others be investigated for criminal responsibility, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or control; If serious consequences are caused, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.
State functionaries who commit the crimes mentioned in the preceding paragraph shall be given a heavier punishment. If there is no intentional frame-up, but false accusation or frame-up, the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs shall not apply.
The similarity between the crime of falsely accusing and framing extended information and the crime of libel is that they both fabricate facts, and libel may also fabricate criminal facts. But there are still many differences between the two. Their main differences are:
First, the object elements are different: the crime of false accusation and frame-up violates the personal rights of citizens; The crime of libel violated the reputation of citizens.
Second, subjective differences: the purpose of the crime of false accusation and frame-up is to make others subject to criminal investigation; The purpose of slander is to damage the reputation of others.
Third, the objective behavior is different: the crime of false accusation and frame-up is to fabricate the criminal facts of others, usually against state organs or related
