He robbed one million and left 80,000. The younger brother was sentenced to 7 years. The mastermind "Du Yuesheng" was not arrested.

The mastermind behind the pseudonym "Du Yuesheng", a Shanghai gangster, carefully planned for four people to rob 1.8 million yuan but only got 80,000 yuan. The lawyer argued on behalf of the man named Lin who sprayed pepper spray to carry out the robbery. The victim surnamed Wang was still capable of resisting, so he was not considered a robber, but an aggravated robbery. The Tainan District Court sentenced the quibbler Yang to seven years and two months, but "Du Yuesheng" has not been arrested so far.

In August last year, "Du Yuesheng" and others pretended to be able to exchange currency to a man surnamed Wang on the Internet. The main suspect behind the scenes was remote control command, and the four-person criminal group divided the labor. The man surnamed Li drove the rental car park to survey, and the man surnamed Yang and the man surnamed Xiao held a pre-departure meeting at the KTV and hid the chili pepper water in the temple. On the day of the incident, the man surnamed Yang and the man surnamed Xiao were monitored outside the venue, and the man surnamed Li took the man surnamed Lin to get the chili pepper water for an appointment.

Lin Nan entered the victim Wang Nan's car in the Quanlian parking lot and pretended to count 1.8 million yuan. He then sprayed Wang Nan with pepper spray and robbed Wang Nan. Unexpectedly, Wang Nan struggled to protect the money and the cash fell on the floor. In panic, Lin Nan grabbed 80,000 yuan. Afterwards, he hid the stolen money 60,000 yuan in the coffee shop toilet to "Du Yuesheng."

During the trial, the defense lawyer argued that Mr. Wang was still able to resist and chase the car after being sprayed with pepper spray, so he should only be convicted of aggravated robbery rather than robbery. However, Mr. Wang testified that the space in the car was narrow, and he was suddenly attacked at close range, which caused severe pain and burning in his eyes and blurred vision. He was even hit by the other party with a bottle and his head was bleeding. At that time, he desperately grabbed the cash just to protect his savings.

The Tainan District Court held that the fact that the victim risked his own life to protect the money could not be used as an excuse for "failure to resist" in the crime of robbery. After considering that Yang Nan, Xiao Nan and Li Nan only monitored and responded outside the scene, and had already established mediation with Wang Nan, their sentences were reduced in accordance with the law. They were each sentenced to 4 years and 6 months, 4 years and 6 months, and 3 years and 8 months in prison. Lin Nan, who committed the violence, did not confess to all the crimes and had a criminal record, so he was not granted a reduced sentence and was sentenced to 7 years and 2 months in prison.
