From smuggling ＂gold rush＂ to organizing smuggling for profit

　　"Every day, people check my mobile phone, and they are not allowed to take photos, contact my family or disclose the work here to the outside, otherwise the security guard will hit me and put me in jail. People around me are constantly being taken away, and I’m afraid … "When confessing his experience of" gold rush "in Myanmar to the prosecutor, Wei was still worried.

　　Recently, the Procuratorate of Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province prosecuted seven people, including Yang, Zhou, Wei and Chen Mou, on suspicion of crossing the border. They never imagined that their fantasy "gold rush trip" in Myanmar was not only a broken dream, but also brought them jail.

　　Smuggling overseas "gold rush"

　　One day in July 2020, Yang and Zhou and others ate in a restaurant in Zhongxiang. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Yang and several people talked about the gossip that they sneaked into a casino in Myanmar and easily earned more than 10,000 yuan a month. The more they talked, the more excited they became, and they immediately decided to seize this opportunity of "making big money".

　　So, Yang started to search for casino-related information on the Internet, and found a Myanmar casino information named "Daewoo International", and contacted a person named "Hua Ge" through the QQ number on the website. "Hua Ge" said that his casino started with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan. As long as they are willing to come, they are responsible for the route arrangement and road expenses of smuggling. This statement of "Hua Ge" even makes Yang and others feel excited. Several people packed their bags and set foot on a "gold rush trip" to Myanmar under the arrangement of "Brother Hua".

　　On August 2, 2020, Yang, Zhou, Wei and others went from Zhongxiang, Hubei Province to Kunming, Yunnan Province, and then arrived in Cangyuan County by plane from Kunming. Under the arrangement of "snakeheads" at home and abroad, they traveled by car and climbed mountains for several hours and sneaked into Myanmar on August 3.

　　Dream of making a fortune and return in a mess

　　The day after arriving in Myanmar, "Brother Hua" arranged "work" for them. Two of them were arranged to specialize in telecom fraud, using the "killing pig plate" routine to trick others into gambling on the gambling website made by the fraud company, and then defrauding the money after others recharged it; Three people were arranged to work in casinos, engaged in driving, grading and other work; Two others went to KTV as waiters after losing tens of thousands of dollars they brought in the casino.

　　During their work in Myanmar, seven people lived in crowded dormitories with other stowaways, their mobile phones were confiscated, they were forbidden to contact with the outside world, and they were often threatened by being "locked in a water jail". If they want to leave, they must pay back the tolls they had smuggled in before. Seeing that there was no income, several people had to stay and continue to work.

　　Due to the serious epidemic situation in Myanmar, poor public security conditions, and often seeing people being beaten and injured around them, several people did not want to stay in Myanmar, so they started the idea of going home. Some people left Myanmar after paying off the money in the casino, while others sneaked out, took them to the border through local "snakeheads", surrendered themselves to domestic border ports, and returned to their hometowns after paying fines.

　　Organize smuggling and harm others.

　　However, this failed experience of smuggling for gold did not disillusion Yang’s idea of "making big money". Instead, he saw an "opportunity" with the experience of smuggling: if he took more people there and became a "manager", maybe the situation would be different.

　　So, after returning to Zhongxiang, Yang trumpeted his experience of "making big money" in Myanmar at the dinner. His "rich" manner and false rhetoric attracted more than a dozen people, and they planned to sneak into Myanmar with Yang to make a fortune.

　　Yang did the same thing, found a high-paying work group through the Internet, and contacted a person named "Dongge". The more people "Dongge" promised, the more he would be paid. So, under the arrangement of "East Brother", Yang organized this group of people to come to the Yunnan border, and just the day before they were ready to smuggle, they received a phone call from Zhongxiang Public Security Bureau.

　　In March this year, Zhongxiang City Public Security Bureau found that from August to October 2020, Yang, Zhou, Wei, Chen Mou and others were suspected of conspiring to steal across the country (border), so they filed a case for investigation.

　　After the investigation of the case ended, it was transferred to the Zhongxiang City Procuratorate. After the prosecutor’s review, it was considered that the criminal suspects Yang, Zhou, Wei and Chen Mou were suspected of stealing the country (border), and all seven suspects pleaded guilty; Yang played a big role in stealing across the country (border). As a proponent of criminal intent, he suggested that he be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and fined. Yang, together with more than 10 people, attempted to smuggle, and was persuaded by Zhongxiang Public Security Bureau in Yunnan, which should be regarded as an attempted crime. As a proponent of smuggling into the border, Yang should be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law. Under the advice of the public security police, other participants voluntarily gave up the crime, which can be regarded as a significant and minor crime, and it is suggested that the public security organs should educate and admonish them.

　　The prosecutor who handled the case reminded the public that recently, some China citizens were kidnapped, illegally detained, blackmailed, forced into prostitution, controlled by criminal groups and even died in other places. If they go out to work, please go through formal and legal labor agencies, and don’t believe in the "good job" with high wages and good treatment. Otherwise, they will not be able to earn money, their personal safety will not be guaranteed, and they are likely to commit crimes and be punished by law.
