Consultation on civil compensation for criminal fraud cases

If the fraudster has been sentenced by the court, one of the judgments is to compensate the victims for their economic losses. Article 8 of the Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Economic Disputes Cases Suspected of Economic Crimes: According to the provisions of Article 77, paragraph 1, of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), if the defendant who should be held criminally liable in Article 4, Article 5, paragraph 1 and Article 6 fails to return the property and suffers economic losses, it shall be accepted. The victim also has the right to file a civil lawsuit against the unit again for his economic losses. If the victim brings a civil lawsuit again, the people's court with jurisdiction shall accept it according to law. Article 5 of the Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on the Scope of Accepting Cases in Criminal Incidental Civil Proceedings: If a criminal illegally occupies or disposes of the victim's property, thus causing material losses to him, the people's court shall recover it according to law or order it to make restitution. The people's court may consider the situation of recovery or restitution as a sentencing circumstance.
