Li Xiangning, an intern of Caijing, and Xu Kai, a reporter. If nothing happens, Xie Chaoping will end his detention on the 29th and go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"I'm on my way to Linwei Public Security Bureau to take Lao Xie home." At noon on September 7th, Xie Chaoping's wife Li Qiong told Caijing reporter.
on the morning of the same day, at "8? At the news briefing of 19 "case, the spokesman of the People's Procuratorate of Linwei District, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province reported that Xie Chaoping had insufficient evidence for the crime of illegal business operation and decided not to approve the arrest.
On the same day, Linwei Branch of Weinan Public Security Bureau changed Xie Chaoping's compulsory measure to bail pending trial, and Xie has been detained for 29 days. The police said at the briefing that the case was suspected of committing a crime. According to the needs of case investigation, Linwei Branch extended the time for Xie Chaoping to submit for examination and approval to 31 days.
regarding the process of not approving the arrest, the spokesman of the People's Procuratorate of Linwei District of Weinan City reported that after receiving approval of arrest and the case file, the People's Procuratorate of Linwei District reviewed the facts and evidence of the case. On September 6th, the inspection committee of Linwei District Procuratorate discussed that Xie Chaoping had insufficient evidence for the crime of illegal business operation. In the process of questioning Xie Chaoping, "Xie Chaoping also had a deep understanding of his illegal business practices and expressed sincere regret." Therefore, it was decided not to approve the arrest of Xie Chaoping and returned to Linwei Branch of Weinan Public Security Bureau for further investigation.
The prosecution brought Xie Chaoping forward and returned to the investigation, which is the embodiment of the procuratorial department's supervision power over the public security department.
Previously, on September 4th, the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the Provisions on Interrogation of Criminal Suspects in the Stage of Examination and Arrest, which clearly required that the prosecution must interrogate the criminal suspect if there are doubts about key issues such as whether the criminal suspect has criminal facts and whether it is necessary to arrest him. According to the "Provisions on Relevant Issues Concerning the Supervision of Criminal Filing (Trial)" issued before, if the prosecution believes that the reasons for filing a case by the public security organ are not established, it shall notify the public security organ to withdraw the case.
Xie Chaoping was suspected of "illegal business operation" for writing The Great Migration. On the afternoon of August 9th, Linwei Branch of Weinan Public Security Bureau came to Beijing to "arrest" Xie Chaoping across provinces. Once the case was exposed, it was under pressure from public opinion. Jurists including Zhang Qianfan pointed out that the case was unfounded and unreasonable. However, on September 3, the police did not stop admitting their mistakes, but insisted on asking the procuratorate to arrest Xie Chaoping.
Xie Chaoping's case turned around, and it is unknown whether there is any high-level intervention.
Xia Nan, a lawyer who once represented Deng Yujiao, believes that after the Weinan book case, Weinan and the local public security were faced with unprecedented pressure from all sides, and Xie Chaoping's case was corrected by refusing to be arrested by the procuratorate, which also gave the public security department a step.
Although Xie Chaoping will be released and returned home, the case was only returned for investigation, not dropped. Zhou Ze, the attorney of Xie Chaoping, thinks that "the future of the case is still unpredictable". However, Xia Nan's lawyer thinks that this is just "finding a step for the police", and Xie Chaoping's case will gradually fade and even be dismissed in the future.
In addition, as of Caijing.com's press release, Zhao Shun, an employee of Baijiawu Printing Factory in Jiuzhou Town, Guangyang District, Langfang City, Hebei Province, who was arrested for "The Great Migration", has no news. According to the employees of the factory, Zhao Shun is not a regular employee, and printing "The Great Migration" is his business. During the investigation, the police claimed that the printing contract between the factory and Xie Chaoping was suspected of forgery.
