38 people were arrested, and the case value exceeded 100 million yuan! The equipment used by the suspect makes it rare for the police to call directly.
CCTV News:The Hong Kong SAR Government implements a duty-free policy for oil used by mobile fishing boats. In order to distinguish it, a red additive, commonly known as "red oil", is added to the diesel oil it uses. Hong Kong stipulates that "red oil" can only be used as fuel for fishing boats and maritime purposes, and cannot be used for ordinary vehicles. Because there is a big price difference between "red oil" and ordinary fuel oil, smuggling gangs do not hesitate to take risks and smuggle "red oil" into China for profit.
Recently, Shenzhen Customs, together with Huizhou police in Guangdong and other law enforcement departments, launched a special campaign to crack down on the smuggling of "marked oil", arresting 38 suspects and seizing 94.67 tons of "marked oil" suspected of smuggling on the spot. After investigation, the preliminary estimated value of the case is about 150 million yuan. Not long ago, Huizhou police found in their work that a criminal gang smuggled red oil from Hong Kong into Huizhou.
Li Fuguo, member of the Party Committee of Huizhou Public Security Bureau: "After a period of attention, it was initially found out that a group of people headed by Su Mou transported oil products from the sea, then downloaded them to the land, and transported them to and from the mainland through some transport tank vehicles."
Refusing to crack down on smuggling "red oil" means renovation
Huizhou police handed over the clue to the Anti-smuggling Bureau of Shenzhen Customs. Anti-smuggling personnel found that, different from the previous means of smuggling smuggled red oil from the sea, the smuggling gang bypassed the oil tanker from the Pearl River Estuary to the Dongjiang waters of the inland river in order to escape the blow, and took the opportunity to barge the red oil ashore at the simple wharf along the route.
Fu Libin, Director of Huizhou Branch of Shenzhen Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau: "By tracking the laws and means of committing crimes of criminal gangs, including waiting for vehicles and vehicles, and collecting data, we found that the whole smuggling gang is roughly divided into five chains, from smuggling by sea to shore connection to land transportation to ‘ Red oil ’ Decolorization sites, as well as domestic buyers. "
The "red oil" white washing sales gang destroys the account books every month.
Because the red additive is added to "red oil", in order to deceive consumers, it should be decolored before sale.
Fu Libin, Director of Huizhou Branch of Shenzhen Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau: "Smuggling gangs buy a lot from Hong Kong fishermen ‘ Red oil ’ , and then use the modified larger oil tanker or fishing boat to install some fuel tanks for smuggling, from a few tons per ship before, several times small ‘ Red oil ’ Smuggling, this case shows an oil shipment of hundreds or even hundreds of tons, and this big oil tanker is used for smuggling. "
Due to tax exemption, the wholesale price of red oil per ton in Hong Kong is about 5,200 yuan to 5,500 yuan, which is about 2,000 yuan lower than that of mainland diesel. In order to deceive consumers, the red oil will be decolorized after entering the country.
Deng Qingli, Chief of Investigation Section of Huizhou Branch of Shenzhen Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau: "The use of this oil in the mainland is illegal. Then, to sell it in the mainland, he must decolorize it. After decoloring, the oil looks white."
The investigation by the anti-smuggling personnel found that the transportation, decoloration and sales of the smuggling red oil network had clear division of labor, strict organization and strong anti-investigation consciousness.
Fu Libin, Director of Huizhou Branch of Shenzhen Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau: "Sometimes important members change their mobile phone cards once a week, and sometimes they have to change them once a month. Smuggling gangs have a reconciliation with each other, once a month, and tear up all the books after the account is finished. "
Seize the mobile decoloring device and cut off the smuggling chain
After more than two months of investigation, the anti-smuggling department of Shenzhen Customs has mastered the organizational structure and activity rules of smuggling gangs, and recently organized more than 400 police officers to carry out simultaneous arrests in Guangzhou, Dongguan and Huizhou. In Huizhou, to the surprise of anti-smuggling personnel, the decoloring device they seized was actually installed in a container truck. This red oil decoloring point was hidden in a remote container truck parking lot in Huiyang District, and the decoloring device was modified and miniaturized by criminal gangs and installed in a container truck. During the night operation, the suspect was engaged in decolorization.
Fu Libin, Director of Huizhou Branch of Shenzhen Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau: "Don’t say that in Guangdong, it is also the first time that we discovered this kind of mobile ‘ Red oil ’ Decolorization device. "
This decoloring device installed in the container truck can not only move at any time as needed, but also the suspect has improved the production process, which shortens the decoloring time of red oil by half compared with the past.
Fu Libin, Director of Huizhou Branch of Shenzhen Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau: "It used to take three or four hours, but now it takes one or two hours to decolorize. Like a container truck, he can change his position at any time and decolorize during the movement. In this case, he will play sports warfare with our anti-smuggling department and play the game of cat and mouse."
The leader of the criminal gang responsible for decoloring the red oil is Tong, who was dealt with three times for organizing women’s prostitution and other crimes. At this decoloring point, seven suspects, including Tong, were arrested. At the same time, Su Mou, the leader of the gang responsible for organizing the supply of goods and maritime transportation, was also arrested. At this point, a criminal chain of smuggling red oil by organizing the supply of goods from abroad, smuggling into the country and decoloring sales has been completely cut off.
