Shenzhen Airport gold case investigation (2009.11.10)

On December 9, 2008, Wang tengye, an employee of Dongguan Jinlong jewelry company, put a box containing gold jewelry worth 3 million yuan next to the garbage can beside counter 19 in the waiting hall when he was boarding at Shenzhen airport. He went to the counter 22 meters away to consult about the consignment. During this period, Liang Li, the airport cleaner, took the carton away and took it home without permission. Liang Li said that at the time of the crime, she saw a woman of about 50 years old with a child sitting in the basket of a luggage trolley. The latter two rushed into the security checkpoint and left with another young woman. At that time, there was a small cardboard box (i.e. the cardboard box involved) in the basket of the luggage trolley. After three or four minutes, no one came to pick it up. They thought that the passenger didn't want it. Without asking anyone, they moved the small cardboard box to their own cleaning trolley
after investigation, at about 16:00 on the day of the crime, my colleague Cao found Liang Li and told her that some passengers in the airport terminal had lost their gold and had called the police. At about 18:00 on that day, three police officers who handled the case went to Liang Li's home and showed their work certificates to identify themselves. Liang Li's husband opened the door of the home. The police questioned Liang Li according to law whether she had brought back property from the airport. Liang Li denied it. The police then advised him for more than 20 minutes. In the process, the police found the cardboard box stored under the bed in the living room of Liang Li's home. Liang Li was forced to admit that the cardboard box was the one lost at the airport., Liang Li was criminally detained on the same day and subsequently formally arrested. In mid March 2009, the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau submitted a prosecution opinion to the Shenzhen municipal procuratorate on the case, believing that Liang Li's behavior was suspected of theft and the amount was particularly huge. According to the law, if Liang Li's act of "picking up money" is recognized by the judicial authorities as constituting theft, she will face a sentence of more than 10 years or even life imprisonment
on September 25, 2009, due to insufficient evidence, Shenzhen Bao'an District procuratorate reported to Liang Litong that it did not constitute theft, revoked the bail pending trial measure, and did not initiate a public prosecution. However, the procuratorate believes that this case is more in line with the constitutional characteristics of the crime of embezzlement, and sends the case back to the public security organ in accordance with the principle of "doubt but light punishment"; Whether to sue Liang Li is decided by the aggrieved party Dongguan Jinlong Jewelry Co., Ltd
conclusion: the owner of 3 million gold jewelry in the case, Mr. Liu, chairman of Dongguan Jinlong Jewelry Co., Ltd., responded on the 26th: "we never thought about who should be held accountable." Liang Li's lawyer said that this means that Liang Li has no risk of being investigated for the crime of embezzlement, and Liang Li is completely free.
