Crackdown to target food and environment crimes
Print Edition
The Supreme People’s Procuratorate is planning an eight-month crackdown on environmental and food safety crimes, after detaining a total of 13,495 suspects for such offenses last year.
That number, all of whom were detained with prosecutors’ warrants, showed a year-on-year rise of 12 percent, figures showed yesterday.
Pollution has become a hot topic for the Chinese public as a week of severe smog in Beijing only ended yesterday.
Meanwhile, cases of food made with shoddy ingredients continue to be discovered on a regular basis.
Senior SPP official Wan Chun said a nine-month campaign against slack investigations and prosecutions was launched last April. It led to thousands of criminal cases being transferred to prosecutors.
More than half involved food safety and environmental issues, while others concerned agriculture, health and education, labor insurance and other fields, Wan said.
In one case last year, Liu Liguo received a life sentence for selling 100 million yuan (US$16.3 million) worth of “swill oil” made from kitchen waste between December 2007 and July 2011. Unsafe oil worth 9 million yuan entered the market.
Wan urged investigative supervision offices to go through case records to uncover tips and clues about crimes.
In China, prosecuting organs have the power to supervise the investigation and management of cases by various law enforcement departments.
