How long does it take to swindle and launder money?

How long the money laundering fraud should be sentenced depends on the circumstances involved. Those with a large amount can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than three years, those with a huge amount can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 3- 10 years, and those with a particularly large amount can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than 10 years, depending on the actual situation.

1. How long does it take to defraud and launder money?

How long will fraud and money laundering be sentenced depends on the circumstances involved. According to Article 266 of the Criminal Law, whoever defrauds public or private property in a relatively large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also or only be fined; If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; If the amount is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or confiscated. Where there are other provisions in this Law, such provisions shall prevail.

Second, the "Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in Handling Criminal Cases of Fraud" identifies the relevant circumstances of fraud.

Article 1 Whoever swindles public or private property in an amount of over 3,000 yuan, over 30,000 yuan, over 100,000 yuan and over 500,000 yuan shall be deemed as "large amount", "huge amount" or "especially huge amount" as stipulated in Article 266 of the Criminal Law respectively.

The higher people's courts and people's procuratorates of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government may, in combination with the economic and social development of the region, jointly study and determine the specific amount standards implemented in the region within the scope of the amount specified in the preceding paragraph, and report them to the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate for the record.

Article 2 Whoever defrauds public or private property to the amount specified in Article 1 of this Interpretation, under any of the following circumstances, may be given a heavier punishment according to the provisions of Article 266 of the Criminal Law:

(1) Sending short messages, making phone calls or publishing false information through the Internet, radio and television, newspapers and magazines, etc., defrauding an unspecified majority;

(2) defrauding disaster relief, emergency rescue, flood control, special care, poverty alleviation, immigration, relief and medical funds and materials;

(three) fraud in the name of disaster relief fund-raising;

(four) defrauding the disabled, the elderly or the disabled;

(5) Causing the victim to commit suicide, mental disorder or other serious consequences.

If the amount of fraud is close to the standards of "huge amount" and "extremely huge amount" as stipulated in Article 1 of this Interpretation, and it falls into one of the circumstances as stipulated in the preceding paragraph or belongs to the ringleader of a fraud group, it shall be deemed as "other serious circumstances" and "other particularly serious circumstances" as stipulated in Article 266 of the Criminal Law respectively.

Article 3 Although swindling public or private property meets the standard of "large amount" as stipulated in Article 1 of this Interpretation, if the perpetrator pleads guilty or repents, he may not be prosecuted or be exempted from criminal punishment according to the provisions of Article 37 of the Criminal Law and Article 142 of the Criminal Procedure Law:

Having a statutory lenient punishment;

(2) Before the verdict is pronounced in the first instance, all the stolen money and compensation money have been returned;

(three) did not participate in the distribution of stolen goods or less stolen goods and not the principal;

(4) the victim understands;

(5) Other circumstances are minor and harmless.

Article 4 Whoever defrauds the property of a close relative and the close relative knows it may generally not be treated as a crime.

If it is really necessary to pursue criminal responsibility by defrauding the property of close relatives, the specific treatment should also be lenient as appropriate.

Article 5 Anyone who attempts to defraud, with a huge amount or other serious circumstances, shall be convicted and punished.

Using telecommunications technologies such as sending short messages, making phone calls, and the Internet to defraud an unspecified majority of people, and the amount of fraud is difficult to verify. However, under any of the following circumstances, it shall be deemed as "other serious circumstances" as stipulated in Article 266 of the Criminal Law, and shall be convicted and punished for fraud (attempted):

(1) Sending more than 5,000 pieces of fraudulent information;

(2) Making fraudulent phone calls for more than 500 times;

(3) The fraudulent means are bad and the harm is serious.

If the number of acts specified in the preceding paragraph reaches more than ten times the standards specified in Items (1) and (2) of the preceding paragraph, or if the fraudulent means are particularly bad and the harm is particularly serious, it shall be deemed as "other particularly serious circumstances" as stipulated in Article 266 of the Criminal Law, and shall be convicted and punished for fraud (attempted).

In judicial practice, it is necessary to investigate the criminal punishment of fraud, but if there is money laundering, it is also necessary to investigate the punishment of money laundering. If the handling of the relevant situation is not clear, you can consult a lawyer to define the law when you come to avoid mistakes in the application of the law.
