In June of last year, the Yunlin District Prosecutors Office cracked a fraud case involving the illegal production of “Blackberry cards” and “Bit cards” roaming network cards under the guise of legal names. The case involved the use of legitimate telecommunications business as a cover for illegal activities. After an in-depth investigation, the prosecutors found that former Deputy Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Zhuang Dingkai, was suspected of serving as a consultant for the telecommunications company involved in the case, and was also involved in another virtual currency case.
On May 15th of this year, the Yunlin District Prosecutors Office summoned Zhuang Dingkai and his son for questioning. After questioning, the prosecutors decided to release Zhuang Dingkai on bail of 600,000 yuan, while his son was remanded in custody. However, after the Yunlin District Court held a hearing, it ruled that Zhuang Dingkai’s son could be released.
On December 6th of last year, the prosecutors filed charges of fraud and money laundering against 22 people, including those involved in this case. After further investigation, it was discovered that former National Communications Commission (NCC) commissioner, Xiao Qihong, served as a consultant for the telecommunications company after leaving office, and received a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan through his son’s bank account, totaling 500,000 yuan. After summoning Xiao Qihong, the prosecutors released him on bail of 500,000 yuan, and on April 10th of this year, he was charged with violating the Civil Servant Service Act.
Prosecutor Huang Weijie, who handled the case, conducted further investigations and found that Zhuang Dingkai was also suspected of serving as a consultant for the telecommunications company and another virtual currency company. The prosecutors stated that shortly after his retirement in 2022, Zhuang Dingkai first served as a consultant for a virtual currency company, and a few months later, he became a consultant for the telecommunications company, with a monthly salary of about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.
Currently, the prosecutors are still conducting an in-depth investigation into this case, striving to uncover the entire scope of the fraudulent network. This case involves multiple high-ranking individuals and may involve a wider range of illegal activities. The prosecutors will continue their efforts to uncover the truth and ensure a fair handling of the case.
