A few days ago, the Beijing Higher People’s Court found that drug-related crimes are now more concealed, such as transporting drugs through logistics channels such as express delivery and "flash delivery". Beijing Youth Daily reporter inquired about public cases and found that most criminals who use "flash delivery" express delivery to transport drugs will disguise drugs. On June 21, the "flash delivery" replied to the reporter of Beiqing Daily that "flash delivery" has cooperated with the Beijing Public Security Bureau and other departments to further strengthen the prevention and control of contraband. The judicial department suggested that the express delivery system should improve the real-name registration system and the inspection system.
case
Drug dealers transport by express delivery.
Beijing High Court named "Flash"
In 2018, the Chaoyang court in Beijing ruled a case in which a man used "flash delivery" for drug trafficking many times. According to the statement of the defendant He Mou, he contacted his drug friends by WeChat and delivered drugs by "flash delivery".
This is not the only case that Beijing sentenced to use "flash delivery" to transport drugs. In June of that year, Haidian court sentenced a case of using "flash delivery" for drug trafficking. The defendant Zhang Moulong sold more than 100 grams of methamphetamine and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Under the guidance of the courier, the police handling the case arrived at the downstairs where the package was located at 13: 00 on January 3, 2018, and later found people with similar facial features described by the courier. Subsequently, the police arrested the defendant Zhang Moulong and got nine packages of suspicious crystals from his coat pocket. After identification, methamphetamine (ice) was detected, with a net weight of 9.55 grams. After that, the police obtained ten packages of suspicious crystals from the residence of the defendant Zhang Moulong in Tongzhou District. It was identified that methamphetamine (ice) was detected in two packages of the above suspicious crystals, with a net weight of 94.07 grams.
Jin Xuejun, member of the party group and vice president of the Beijing Higher People’s Court, said at the "Beijing Press Conference on Drug Control in 2019" held on June 21 that in 2018, the first and second trials of the city’s third-level courts concluded 1,127 drug-related criminal cases, a year-on-year increase of 10.9%.
Judging from the trial of cases, drug crimes in Beijing have five characteristics. Among them, drug crimes are more subtle. Drug trafficking activities have gradually changed from "integration of people and goods" to "separation of people and goods" and "separation of money and goods". Contact information is changed from telephone to using network communication tools such as WeChat and QQ, and transportation modes are mostly implemented through logistics channels such as express delivery and "flash delivery".
Gangization in the upstream of the drug crime chain and "zero-package drug trafficking" in the downstream have become the norm. The upstream criminal groups have tight internal organization, fixed members and clear division of labor, and the downstream micro-zero-package drug trafficking is becoming more and more prominent, and it is constantly infiltrating into all kinds of people.
survey
Most couriers are unknowingly used.
On-the-job training for flashers to identify contraband
In fact, on the issue of drug trafficking, many distributors and couriers are used by criminals without knowing it.
However, there are also highly vigilant couriers. According to the report of Hongkou Anti-drug, at about 8: 30 pm on February 5, 2018, Mr. Yang, who works part-time in a courier service platform in the same city, received an order, and the delivery items were "documents". However, during the delivery process, Mr. Yang found that the sender was very cautious when delivering the goods, and he did not want to tell the specific house number at the beginning of the delivery, and only informed the specific delivery address by phone during the delivery. This made Mr. Yang, who had received professional security training, alert. He immediately informed the local police of the matter, and after inspection, the document contained the drug "ice". With the cooperation of Mr. Yang, the police arrested Gou, a suspect suspected of buying drugs, and seized Li, a drug addict in the same room.
In response to the use of the platform by criminals, the "flash delivery" replied to the reporter of Beiqing Daily on June 21 that "flash delivery" has cooperated with the Beijing Public Security Bureau and other departments to further strengthen the prevention and control of contraband.
Contraband samples were also introduced for on-site identification training during the induction training of flashers. At the same time, when picking up the pieces, they will ask for unpacking inspection and report to the police in time for suspicious items. They have assisted the public security department to investigate and deal with contraband many times.
suggestion
Real-name registration system, receiving inspection and express mail security should be standardized.
Strengthen anti-drug education and legal publicity for couriers.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that "flash delivery" is not the only platform used by criminals. Among the 18 cases of transporting drugs by express delivery concluded by Beijing Chaoyang Court in 2017, the defendant used the "flash delivery" express delivery service with "one hour delivery in the same city" as the service standard in seven cases. In five cases, the defendant used SF Express to mail drugs, and several other cases mainly involved large express delivery such as Yunda, Shentong and Zhongtong. Even in some cases, the defendant used SF Express and "Flash Delivery" express to send mail indirectly across provinces and cities.
As for this situation, the judge of Chaoyang Court believes that it is due to the inadequate implementation of relevant laws and regulations, such as real-name registration system regulations on sending and inspection of receiving, and insufficient security inspection by courier companies and couriers. In addition, many express delivery practitioners lack vigilance against abnormal receiving and sending behaviors and suspicious express parcels, and ignore the importance of safe production. It should be noted that if the courier still provides receiving, sending and distribution services while knowing that the items sent by the sender are drugs, it may be suspected of criminal offences.
In this regard, Chaoyang Court issued a judge’s opinion that the express delivery industry should attach great importance to drug control work and strengthen anti-drug education and legal publicity for express delivery employees. The express delivery industry should strictly implement the real-name registration system regulations on express delivery, improve and implement the inspection procedures and security inspection system for express delivery, and strengthen the inspection and security inspection of express parcels. The express delivery industry should establish a reward and punishment mechanism to guide industry self-discipline. Courier companies should also formulate a reward and punishment system to reward courier employees for discovering and reporting drug-related criminal activities, and punish irregularities such as irregular receipt and delivery, inspection and security inspection.
In addition, the relevant authorities should further strengthen supervision, require all courier companies and couriers to strictly follow the "Provisional Regulations on Speediness" and other laws and regulations, standardize the procedures for checking the real identity of incoming goods, checking the internal parts of incoming goods and express goods, improve the security inspection equipment, improve the security inspection of contraband and dangerous goods such as drugs, and urge enterprises to check everything they send, everything they check and everything they doubt. At the same time, the courier companies should also carry out technical transformation on unmanned equipment such as HIVE BOX courier cabinets, which are becoming more and more popular, and prevent criminals from taking advantage of it by adding face recognition systems or ID card verification systems.
