The relevant provisions of the Provisions on the Prosecution Standards of Economic Crime Cases are aimed at illegal possession. In the process of signing and performing the contract, if one of the following circumstances is involved, the responsibility shall be investigated according to law:
1. Individuals defraud public or private property, and the amount is more than 6,000 yuan but less than 20,000 yuan;
2. The person in charge directly responsible for the unit and other directly responsible personnel commit fraud in the name of the unit, and the amount of fraud proceeds belongs to the unit, with the amount ranging from 50,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan.
Article 224 of the Criminal Law commits the crime of contract fraud under any of the following circumstances. Whoever defrauds the other party of property for the purpose of illegal possession, with a relatively large amount, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention and shall also or only be fined;
If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; If the amount is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or confiscated:
(1) Signing a contract in the name of a fictitious unit or others;
(2) Using forged, altered or invalid bills or other false certificates of property rights as collateral;
(3) Having no actual performance ability, tricking the other party into continuing to sign and perform the contract by performing the small contract first or partially;
(4) fleeing after receiving the goods, payment, advance payment or secured property paid by the other party;
(5) defrauding the other party's property by other means.
Fraud can be committed by both individuals and units. Therefore, as long as a unit or individual commits contract fraud and the amount of property defrauded reaches the standard of "large amount", it has already constituted a crime, and the criminal responsibility of the unit or individual should be investigated according to law.
