Is freezing bank cards a case for investigation?

The freezing of bank cards by the criminal investigation department means that the public security organ has filed a case. People's procuratorates and public security organs may, according to the needs of investigating crimes, inquire about and freeze the deposits, remittances, bonds, stocks, fund shares and other properties of criminal suspects. The relevant units and individuals shall cooperate. Because only when the public security organ files a case will the evidence related to the case be collected. If the case is not filed, the public security organ will not freeze the suspect's bank card casually. After filing a case, if the deposit in the bank card may be stolen money, the public security organ has the right to take freezing measures. If you encounter such a situation, don't worry, the parties can take the initiative to contact the public security organ and go to the public security organ to cooperate with the investigation. After the public security organ confirms that the frozen deposits and remittances are really irrelevant to the case, the public security organ will contact the bank to unfreeze the bank card, or wait for automatic unfreezing.
