At the "Golden Circle Award Ceremony" yesterday (2nd), the Qiaotou District Prosecutor's Office set a record for being the only country in the country to win the dual honors of "National Outstanding Case Investigation Team" and the individual "Outstanding Contribution Award for Fighting Environmental Crime" (Prosecutor Shi Jiahong), becoming the most dazzling law enforcement agency in the audience! Minister of Justice Cheng Mingqian and Minister of Environment Peng Qiming were both on hand to present awards and highly recognized their outstanding contributions to disrupting criminal syndicates with the "cross-border national team" and technological law enforcement.

In the face of illegal groups using people to buy land, forging false earthwork documents, and even arranging vehicles to detour in an attempt to conceal the crime, the prosecutor of the Qiaotou District Prosecutor's Office personally directed the "Prosecution, Police, Mediation, Environmental Protection, and Forestry" task force to use four major scientific and technological investigation tools. Through remote monitoring, GPS vehicle trajectories, communication records and precise financial flow big data analysis, after multiple waves of searches and seizures, we successfully outlined the criminal division of labor between land agencies, clearing companies and fleets, and went straight to the money masters behind the scenes, deeply cutting off the "one-stop" criminal chain of the illegal group.

In addition to vigorously combating crime, the Bridge Inspection Department's first priority is "restoration of the damaged environment." For land and forests that have been damaged due to illegal mining of earth and rock, indiscriminate reclamation, and illegal disposal of waste, the Bridge Inspection Department, in conjunction with relevant competent authorities, vigorously promotes the restoration of damaged ecology to its original state, avoids the continued expansion of environmental damage, and takes into account both criminal prosecution and ecological conservation.

Guo Jingdong, Chief Prosecutor of the Qiaotou District Prosecutor's Office, emphasized that this double award is an honor and a responsibility. In the future, he will continue to uphold the "zero tolerance for environmental crimes" stance, strengthen scientific and technological evidence collection and cross-agency cooperation, resolutely protect the land and resources, and leave a sustainable and safe living environment for the next generation.
