[news] November 2nd reporting network in Beijing (procuratorial daily) pyramid which often cross provincial, general violations and criminal activities; both division department finds, and involved in the jurisdiction, and because of "the prohibition of marketing regulations" the relevant provisions of the general office of the State Council and the relevant interpretation in understanding the differences, therefore, in recent years, the emergence of individual local public security organs directly cross provincial arrest suspected MLM personnel of foreign companies, seized the property of the company, resulting in paralysis, and after detention, arrest, prosecution, trial, but found it difficult to conviction, not only a great waste of judicial resources, but also hinder the normal operation the company, damage the credibility of the judiciary. This situation mainly involved in MLM case investigation division of the Department identified problems need to be studied from the combination of theory and practice.
One, the State Council established the administrative departments of industry and Commerce and the public security organs to investigate and deal with the mechanism of pyramid selling.
In order to prevent fraud in economic activities, protection of citizens, legal persons and other organizations of the legitimate rights and interests, maintaining the order of socialist market economy, maintain social stability, the State Council promulgated the "regulations prohibit pyramid schemes" in August 23, 2005, implemented in November 1st the same year.
In accordance with the provisions of the prohibition of marketing regulations, investigate and deal with the functions of the case for the industrial and commercial administrative departments and public security organs. That is to say, the State Council established a mechanism of industrial and commercial administrative departments and public security organs to investigate common pyramid schemes, and the administrative department for Industry and Commerce and the public security organs have accepted the report and issued a warning to the public duties. After a period of practice, in view of the general office of the State Council in all parts of the implementation "the prohibition of marketing regulations" as reflected in the issue, according to the instructions of the State Council, in June 2007 6, the Ministry of public security and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce issued a letter [2007] No. 65 document, namely "to" the prohibition of pyramid example "interpretation and identification of Department of marketing the letter". The letter pointed out: in accordance with the provisions of the "Regulations on Prohibition of pyramid selling", "industrial and commercial departments and public security organs shall investigate and punish acts of MLM within the scope of their respective duties, and in accordance with their respective duties according to the law of the pyramid schemes to be identified. The business department of marketing behavior, suspected of a crime, shall be transferred to the police investigation; suspected of a crime MLM case police investigation, the investigation found does not constitute a crime, shall be transferred to the business department".
Two, the industrial and commercial administrative departments responsible for all cases of pyramid schemes, but in the process of investigating and investigating suspected crimes should be transferred to public security organs for investigation.
"Ban on marketing regulations" seventh to "belong to the pyramid schemes act" in three forms made clear. The eighth provisions of the Ordinance clearly stipulates: "the administrative department for Industry and Commerce in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance, is responsible for the investigation and handling of the seventh provisions of the act." That is to say, all kinds of forms of marketing cases, not found on suspicion of crime, industry and commerce administration departments should take the initiative to seriously investigate and deal with. Only in the course of the investigation found that the alleged crime, in accordance with the provisions of the prohibition of marketing regulations thirteenth, according to the law transferred to public security organs for investigation".
MLM behavior occurs in commercial activities in violation of the rules of commercial behavior, the administrative department for Industry and commerce is responsible for the supervision of business irregularities in the sector, as it should be responsible for all marketing behavior regulation. In practice, most of the pyramid schemes are generally illegal behavior, and "the prohibition of marketing regulations" have been granted to the administrative department for Industry and Commerce and a number of measures, and the illegal pyramid scheme according to the general provisions of the Ordinance, were given the confiscation of illegal property, confiscate the illegal income and fines, ordered to suspend business for rectification, revoke the business license and other penalties. According to the provisions of the prohibition of marketing regulations fifth spirit, industry and commerce administration department should adhere to the principle of combining education and punishment, education citizens, legal persons or other organizations consciously abide by the law".
Three, the public security organs in the case of marketing investigation: only responsible for the alleged crime cases.
Whether the behavior of suspected MLM suspected of a crime, to accept the report are the state is uncertain, then report to the public security organs of suspected pyramid schemes, whether can not by the administrative department for Industry and Commerce shall investigate and transfer, and according to the investigation report? The author thinks that, according to the relevant provisions of the "regulations prohibit pyramid schemes". It is not possible.
"The prohibition of marketing regulations" provisions of article fourth: "the administrative department for Industry and Commerce and the public security organs shall, in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance, the scope of their duties in the investigation of pyramid." The sixth provisions of the Ordinance: any units and individuals have the right to the industrial and commercial administrative departments, public security organs to report acts of pyramid schemes. Administrative departments of industry and commerce, public security organs received a report, it should immediately investigate and verify, investigate and deal with according to law." The tenth Ordinance stipulates: "in the pyramid to introduce the work, engaged in business activities in the name of cheating others leave the residence of illegal gathering and the restriction of personal liberty, by the public security organs in the administrative department for Industry and Commerce in accordance with the law and." The fourth emphasizes the "responsibility"; Article sixth defines the administrative department for Industry and Commerce and the public security organs can accept the report, however, did not request the public security organ to accept the report after investigation, but immediate investigation and verification, investigated and dealt with according to law". Obviously, if not found suspected of a crime, it shall be to transfer the clues to the administrative department for Industry and Commerce in accordance with the law and regulations; tenth the case relates to restrict the personal freedom of citizens, the administrative department for Industry and Commerce alone and have difficulty, however, in the investigation and verification before does not determine the behavior of people suspected of a crime, therefore, whether it is the administrative department business or public security organs accept the report of such cases, to the public security organs in the administrative department for Industry and Commerce in accordance with the law and, after investigation to determine if suspected of a crime, the public security organ for investigation, otherwise, can only be dealt with by the administrative department for Industry and commerce according to law. The provisions of the spirit of comprehensive analysis, the conclusion can be drawn that the industrial and commercial administrative departments and public security organs can accept suspected pyramid schemes to report, but the public security organ shall generally be clues to the administrative department for Industry and Commerce investigation and verification, but to restrict the personal freedom of a citizen shall be reported by the public security organs in conjunction with the administrative department for Industry and Commerce in accordance with the law and.
