After the trial officially began, the atmosphere in the courtroom suddenly became serious. First, the prosecutor read out the indictment against Gao Huai: The defendant Gao Huai, male, 38 years old, was originally the boss of YZ Foreign Trade Company in Nanyou City. Due to personal grudges and financial difficulties, he learned the financial information of the victim unit Mingdan Company through chatting with Luo Yingtao, a person related to the case, and began to plan to defraud Mingdan Company of its money.
Through investigation, it was learned that Gao Huai and Luo Yingtao, a person related to the case, were lovers when they were in college. Fourteen years after graduation, they had no contact and did not know each other's work and marital status. Until the Spring Festival two years ago, they met again at a class reunion in Nanyou City through the introduction of their old classmate Yan Zi.
Before they met again, Luo Yingtao had an extramarital affair with Si Mingda, the legal representative of Mingdan Company, the victim in this case. This was discovered by Si Mingda's wife Wang Mudan. In order to protect her own interests, Wang Mudan forced Luo Yingtao to return the 170,000 yuan paid to her by Si Mingda, and forced Luo Yingtao to leave Si Mingda, otherwise she would go to court to sue her.
Luo Yingtao and Simingda were originally first love. She had always looked down on Wang Mudan. More than ten years later, Wang Mudan's financial situation was much better than hers. She felt a little unbalanced. In addition, Wang Mudan forced Luo Yingtao to leave Simingda.
He also took back the customs account that she was allowed to handle, which caused strong dissatisfaction from Luo Yingtao.
After she returned 170,000 yuan to Wang Mudan, she initially wanted to seek comfort from Simingda. However, she never expected that in order to protect his family, Simingda unexpectedly stood on Wang Mudan's side and ignored Luo Yingtao's pleas.
After the repayment incident, Luo Yingtao hated Si Mingda and Wang Mudan. During the Spring Festival two years ago, when she met Gao Huai again at a class reunion, in order to vent her anger, she told Gao Huai about her experience as an agent for Mingdan Company's customs accounts and her understanding of their company's financial situation. Later, at Gao Huai's instigation, she revealed all the sales status, annual profits and other information of Mingdan Company to him.
The defendant Gao Huai was in a period of financial distress at the time. When he heard about the financial situation of Mingdan Company, he began to have evil intentions and planned to get some money from Mingdan Company.
At first, he wanted to make money by reporting tax evasion. Although his report was successful, the reward he received was only a few tens of thousands of yuan, which was not enough to make up for the 2 million yuan loss that was defrauded by foreign customers using letters of credit.
After the reporting incident, Simingda was imprisoned for half a year and Mingdan Company was fined 3 million yuan. Both Simingda himself and Mingdan Company suffered heavy losses.
As a former love rival, Gao Huai had no sympathy for Si Mingda's six months in prison. He did not stop there, and even planned to hatch a bigger conspiracy to further seize more money from Mingdan Company.
Three years ago, when Gao Huai was doing business with foreign customers, someone used a fake letter of credit to defraud 2 million yuan in payment for goods, causing his company to suffer huge losses. He also learned the tricks of letter of credit fraud. Just when he made up his mind to defraud Mingdan Company of payment for goods, he wanted to use the letter of credit to make a false transaction so that he could defraud the payment for goods without bearing legal responsibility.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the transaction, Gao Huai went to Country G twice and even invested money to register a company in Country G to sign a contract with Mingdan Company and import the required electromechanical products.
Gao Huai has been engaged in the foreign trade industry for many years and is familiar with all aspects of the foreign trade process. He took advantage of the fact that Xiao Liu, the foreign trade businessman of Mingdan Company, did not understand the terms of the letter of credit, and deliberately designed the transaction method, trying to make every link leak-proof in order to successfully defraud the payment for the goods.
In order to confuse Simingda, Gao Huai never had direct contact with Simingda before implementing the transaction. He initially entrusted another person related to the case, Li Xiaoliang, to go to Simingda's company for an on-site inspection and gain Simingda's trust in the name of a fellow villager.
At first, Simingda was a little skeptical about this huge transaction, so he told Li Xiaoliang and asked to meet with the foreign boss in order to better understand the background of YZ Company.
After Gao Huai learned of Simingda's doubts, he once again took advantage of G Country Rick's trust in him and Mingdan Company's foreign trade business's unfamiliarity with letter of credit transactions. He successfully deceived Simingda and Wang Mudan's trust and quickly reached a deal.
According to the terms of the sight letter of credit, Gao Huai's company in Country G had to pay the balance after the goods arrived at the port. However, Gao Huai took advantage of the illegal operation of the freight forwarder he had known for many years. In addition, Mingdan Company was unfamiliar with the loopholes in letter of credit transactions. Under the operation of the freight forwarder, Gao Huai successfully withdrew the goods without paying.
After Mingdan Company discovered that it had been cheated, it reported the case to the police and confirmed that the transaction was a fake. It also entrusted a lawyer to sue Gao Huai in Country G. When the indictment was served, Gao Huai's lawyer in Country G refused the court's extradition request on the grounds that the crime was not committed in Country G. In order to evade legal punishment, Gao Huai quickly cancelled the registration of the new company in Country G and illegally stayed in Country G for a year.
During his illegal stay in Country G, Gao Huai made a living by working illegally. During one of his trips, he was robbed and injured, which led to his illegal stay as an illegal worker being discovered by the police and he was deported.
The prosecutor now accuses Gao Huai of using illegal means to defraud Mingdan Company of huge sums of money in order to vent his personal anger, which caused Mingdan Company's working capital to be very tight and almost on the verge of bankruptcy. This case also caused Si Mingda and Wang Mudan to suffer a great mental blow. Gao Huai's act of defrauding huge sums of money and absconding abroad is extremely bad, and the prosecutor recommends severe punishment.
After the prosecutor read the indictment, he began the investigation and evidence collection phase. The first witness to appear was Luo Yingtao.
After Luo Yingtao sat in the witness stand, she looked at Gao Huai with a sad expression. The two of them were speechless. Looking at the haggard and old Luo Yingtao, Gao Huai lowered his head in self-blame. He knew very well that he not only harmed his ex-wife Xiaomei and the child, but also made Luo Yingtao the target of public criticism. The strong guilt made him dare not look directly into her sad and resentful eyes.
