　　Recently, the reporter learned from the Baise Border Management Detachment in Guangxi that they cracked a serious smuggling case, seized 230 "three non-"foreigners, arrested 50 organized transporters and destroyed 7 criminal gangs. This extra-large smuggling case has a long time span, many people have been arrested, and the first clue of the case is that the van is overcrowded.

Pang Jiaxing: A mini-car has transported 21 people, and the car is full of heads, which is very suspicious. We asked everyone on the bus to come down for inspection. They were all foreigners and they were very nervous because they didn’t speak Chinese. According to work experience, we know that these people are "three non-"foreigners.

　　The "three non-"foreigners refer to foreigners who enter the country illegally, reside illegally and are employed illegally. After the van was found to be overloaded with "three non-"foreigners, the police at the border checkpoint followed the line and successively seized eight batches of 78 "three non-"foreigners who illegally entered the country to work. After a surprise trial, the police found some important clues.

Pang Jiaxing: These foreigners gathered in Fujian and Guangdong first, and then the "snakehead" arranged vehicles. They stayed at the transit point, had payment records in their mobile phones, and took photos when they felt fresh in a place.

　　After the police conducted multiple comparisons on the information in the mobile phone, several "snakeheads" such as Guo Mouquan, Liao Modong and Yao Mouzhi surfaced, and behind the "snakeheads" may involve multiple criminal chains of a cross-border criminal gang.

Lu Jungu: Through the serial investigation of several cases, we found that these illegal immigrants were smuggled by the same foreign organization (smuggling gang). In order to make huge profits, this gang has been organizing smuggling activities in the border areas of Guangdong, Guangxi and China and Vietnam, seriously undermining social order and endangering border security.

　　The small leader led out the "big boss" and "top snake head" and was arrested.

　　Although the police have seized many stowaways, the real backbone members continue to commit crimes thousands of miles away. They lured drivers at high prices, organized "three non-"personnel to return and smuggle, and people were arrested in Nanning, Guigang and other counties and cities in Guangxi. The task force decided to extend the attack.

　　After surprise trial and extended investigation, the task force has the latest knowledge of the network structure and the relationship between superiors and subordinates of criminal gangs, and Pei, the highest-level "snakehead" in the gang, has surfaced. In view of the complexity of the case and the large number of suspects involved, the National Immigration Bureau listed the case as No.001 supervised case, focusing on investigation.

Pang Jiaxing: The structure of this criminal gang is: first, there are "three non-"foreigners, second, there are transport drivers, third, there are transit points and responsible persons, and fourth, there are foreign "snakeheads".

　　The task of the police at this time is to break down the four-tier structure of the criminal gang layer by layer, and the breakthrough point is the temporary transit point for stowaways. The police have learned that the gang has set up transit points in four key cities, and the transit point in Foshan, Guangdong Province is ripe for arrest.

Pang Jiaxing: We squatted for two days, and a suitable time to close the net was captured together with the person in charge of the transit point, the "three non-"foreigners and the transport driver.

　　Subsequently, the illegal transit dens in Guangzhou, Guangdong and Nanning, Guangxi were successively destroyed by the police. However, the top of the gang, Pei, is still at large and continues to commit crimes.

　　Through close monitoring, the police finally successfully locked Pei’s transit point in Tunbu Town, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province. The task force immediately cooperated with the public security organs of Chaozhou City to carry out a centralized network-closing operation and arrested Pei, the "snake head", in a rented house.

　　Dig deep, strike hard and completely destroy criminal gangs

　　Pei, a 44-year-old Vietnamese gang member, had been working illegally in China before he was arrested. He hid in a tableware factory in Guangdong, used his identity to collude inside and outside, and gradually formed a gang to commit crimes, and the characteristics of collectivization and chain were obvious. After Pei was arrested, the task force pursued the victory. After nearly eight months of concentrated attack, the case has carried out more than 30 arrests and seized 230 "three non-"foreigners. At present, 230 "three non-"foreigners have been deported after being punished according to law.

Pang Jiaxing: Because he has resources, he was originally a "three non-"personnel and knew where the "three non-"personnel gathered. He is also familiar with Chinese and can communicate with the delivery drivers in China.

　　Pei confessed that he usually attracts customers through some social platforms. At first, Pei only helped stowaways to dock with Vietnamese "snakeheads".

　　As Pei discovered the huge potential benefits, he began to build his own transit point and train his own personnel.

　　According to Pei’s confession, the task force pursued victory, inspected the factories that recruited "three non-"foreigners, and arrested the rest of the behind-the-scenes organizers. After nearly eight months of concentrated attack, the case has carried out more than 30 arrests, seized 230 "three non-"foreigners, arrested 50 organized transporters, smashed 6 transit dens, and 7 criminal gangs integrating overseas recruitment, border leading and transit hiding were completely destroyed.

　　At present, 230 "three non-"foreigners have been deported after being punished according to law, and all the suspects involved have been sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from three years to six months.
