The rule of law is the best business environment. On the 9th, the Supreme People's Court released 5 typical criminal cases to promote the development of the private economy, fully leveraging the educational, warning, and deterrent effects of typical cases to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises. It is reported that the people's courts punish corruption crimes within private enterprises in accordance with the law and eliminate "worms". In the bribery case of Yan and Sun as non-state personnel, the two defendants, as directors of a holding company, accepted bribes of more than 560 million yuan, causing huge economic losses to their respective companies. They were sentenced to 14 years and 10 months of imprisonment and 15 years of imprisonment, respectively. Shi Mouyu's non state staff bribery and duty embezzlement case is a typical case of punishing Internet enterprise staff corruption according to law. Shi Moyu, as a staff member of an internet company, accepted a bribe of 6.08 million yuan and embezzled 3.66 million yuan of company property, seriously infringing on the rights and interests of the internet company. She was sentenced to 12 years in prison by the court. The Supreme People's Court points out that illegal acceptance of bribes by employees of private enterprises, like bribery by government officials, is a criminal act that requires conviction, sentencing, and recovery of criminal proceeds. In the end, it will be a fruitless act. At the same time, the people's courts punish crimes that disrupt market order in accordance with the law. Zhang Mujian is a staff member of a certain engineering project, responsible for gate security, site feeding, construction safety, and other work. He took advantage of this to dominate the market, forcing a decoration company and multiple merchants to purchase decoration materials such as cement and sand at prices higher than the market price from him. The total amount of forced transactions was over 920000 yuan, and he was sentenced to three years and two months in prison by the people's court for the crime of forced transactions. The Supreme People's Court stated that the people's courts will conscientiously implement the Law on the Promotion of the Private Economy, adhere to and implement the "two unwavering" principles, fully play the role of judicial functions, and promote the development of the private economy through equal protection in accordance with the law.
