Some further developments on the Yucheng International investigations.
關于e租寶鈺誠國際又有新進展。
A police probe on January 11 into the financial company found that along with its subsidiary peer-to-peer lending platform Ezubo, it had illegally raised some 40 billion yuan from 800,000 people.
1月11日,警方對鈺誠國際進行調查,除子公司的個人信貸平臺e租寶,該公司非法吸金約400億,80萬人深受其害。
Last December’s detainments in the mother company were followed in January by the arrest of nine executives of Ezubo for suspected illegal fund-raising.
去年12月,警方對鈺誠國際實施逮捕,今年1月份,9名e租寶高管因涉嫌非法集資被警方批捕。
Sources close to the investigation said, roughly 800,000 people had invested nearly 40 billion yuan in Ezubo.
據知情人士透露,約80萬人向e租寶投資,成交總額近400億人民幣。
The firm's own statement of 73 billion yuan was an exaggerated figure.
而公司聲稱的730億成交總額純屬夸大其詞。
They also said more than 1,000 employees of Ezubo and other Yucheng subsidiaries were under suspicion of misconduct that falls into the category of "illegal collection of deposit from the public.”
據知情人士表示,超過一千名e租寶,鈺誠子公司員工涉嫌犯有“非法吸收公眾存款罪”。
According to the Criminal Law, this is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
根據刑法規定,“非法吸收公眾存款罪”的最高刑期為10年。
Several of Yucheng's executives are also suspected of fraudulent fundraising, and police were still searching for two of them.
多名鈺誠高管還涉嫌集資詐騙,警方正在尋找其中兩人蹤跡。
Fortunately for them, the charge, which used to be punishable by death until last November, had its maximum sentence amended to life in prison.
“集資詐騙”的最高刑罰為死刑,但已于去年12月失效,最高刑罰已改為無期徒刑。
The police also froze 15 billion yuan worth of assets owned by Yucheng and its subsidiaries.
警方已對鈺誠和子公司資產進行凍結,凍結資產為150億。
But illegal fund-raising operations were just the tip of the iceberg, as investigators found Yucheng’s reach had gone beyond the borders.
但非法集資只是冰山一角,據調查人員發現,鈺誠的涉及范圍不止這些。
Yucheng International had sent nearly 10 billion yuan to Myanmar's Wa State, a conflict-torn area bordering the southwestern province of Yunnan.
鈺誠曾向緬甸佤邦注資近100億人民幣,佤邦與云南接壤,也是緬甸沖突地區。
Yucheng had plans to invest 40 billion yuan to develop a free-trade zone in Wa State, but people close to the police said it spent only about 1 billion yuan toward that end.
鈺誠曾計劃在佤邦投資400億發展自由貿易區,但據知情人士表示,公司也只投資了約10億人民幣。
