A man surnamed Xu joined a fraud group as a driver. When he handed over gold jewelry worth more than 1.4 million yuan from the victim at Zhunan Sports Park in Miaoli County a few days ago, enthusiastic people noticed something was wrong and called the police. Xu was arrested soon after. The Miaoli District Court recently concluded a trial and sentenced Xu Nan to 5 years and 2 months in prison for three or more people who jointly used the names of government agencies and civil servants to defraud money, participate in criminal organizations, and launder money.

The verdict pointed out that this year Xu Nan joined a fraud group headed by communication software accounts "Ace of Spades", "Ant" and others. The fraud group first used the names of "Taipei City Criminal Brigade Captain Chen XX" and "Prosecutor Tang XX" on May 15 to call the victim, pretending that she was suspected of money laundering and needed to supervise the property, so that the victim handed over 2 million yuan in cash to Xu Nan on the afternoon of the 22nd. Xu Nan then handed it over to the accomplice "Ant" for hiding.

On the morning of the same day (22nd), the group knew what was going on and called another victim in the name of "Household Registration Office Staff", "Police Officer Lin XX of the Second Investigation Team", etc., falsely claiming that the property involved in the case required supervision. The victim believed the case and went to Zhunan Sports Park in the afternoon to deliver more than 1.4 million yuan worth of gold rings, gold coins, gold necklaces and ATM cards to Xu Suan. Fortunately, enthusiastic members of the public discovered the case and reported it. The Zhunan police quickly conducted an investigation at the intersection of Gongyuan 2nd Street and Gongbei 1st Street. They seized the suspect on the spot and kept a large amount of gold jewelry. The accomplice "Ant" took the opportunity to escape in a car.

The judge considered that Xu was suspected of acting as a driver for personal gain, endangering social security and the property safety of the victims, and the amount of fraud amounted to more than one million yuan. He was sentenced to 5 years and 2 months for several crimes in accordance with the law.
