深挖偷渡案里遗漏的诈骗犯罪：名为“当水电工”实为偷渡境外“搞诈骗”

Core Viewpoint - The case of Zhu, who was initially convicted of illegal border crossing, was re-evaluated and found to involve fraud, leading to an increased sentence from 11 months to 2 years and 10 months due to the discovery of hidden fraudulent activities [1][7]. Group 1: Case Background - Zhu was involved in a scheme where he illegally crossed the border to Myanmar under the pretense of working as an electrician, with promised earnings of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per month [1]. - The investigation revealed that Zhu initially denied knowing his accomplices but later admitted to colluding with them to cross the border [3]. Group 2: Legal Proceedings - The initial trial recognized Zhu's illegal border crossing but did not acknowledge the fraud charge due to insufficient evidence regarding the duration of his stay at the fraud operation [4]. - The prosecution, led by the Huishui County Procuratorate, argued that Zhu's actual time spent in the fraud operation was approximately 9 months, which warranted the fraud charge [5][6]. Group 3: Appeal and Final Judgment - Following an appeal by the Huishui County Procuratorate, the intermediate court found the initial judgment flawed and ruled that Zhu should face both charges, resulting in a revised sentence of 2 years and 10 months along with a fine of 13,000 yuan [7].
