Lawyer’s Statement:
If the spill is genuine
If the money is genuine, then who threw so much money under the bridge will become the focus of the investigation by the public security organs.
If someone throws these 100-dollar bills under the bridge for the purpose of destroying evidence, then the 100-dollar bills may be stolen money, and the person who aided in the act of throwing them may be guilty of aiding in the destruction of evidence. According to article 307 of the Criminal Law, those who assist a party in destroying evidence, and the circumstances are serious, are to be sentenced to up to three years imprisonment or short-term detention. Judicial personnel who commit this crime shall be given a heavier punishment.
According to the pictures at the scene, there is also a black bag and several fireworks next to the “100 yuan bill”. If someone throws a “100-yuan bill” in order to arouse onlookers and loot, and then endanger public safety through fireworks, it may constitute the crime of endangering public safety. On the basis of articles 114 and 115 of the Criminal Law, where serious consequences have not been caused, a sentence of between three and ten years imprisonment is to be given; Whoever causes serious injury or death or causes major losses to public or private property is to be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or death.
If you are throwing counterfeit money
If counterfeit money is thrown with the intention of endangering public safety, it may also constitute a crime of endangering public safety.
If the purpose of throwing counterfeit money is to pose for photos or commercial speculation, the act of throwing is suspected of disturbing public order. In accordance with Article 23 of the “Public Security Administration Punishment Law”, a warning or a fine of not more than 200 yuan shall be imposed; where the circumstances are more serious, they are to be detained for between 5 and 10 days, and may be concurrently fined up to 500 RMB.
At the same time, the possession of counterfeit money itself may also constitute the crime of possession and use of counterfeit money. Article 172 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever clearly knows that it is counterfeit currency and uses it in a relatively large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or short-term detention and/or a fine of not less than 10,000 yuan but not more than 100,000 yuan; where the amount involved is huge, a sentence of between 3 and 10 years imprisonment and a concurrent fine of between 20,000 and 200,000 RMB is to be given; where the amount involved is especially huge, the sentence is to be 10 or more years imprisonment and a concurrent fine of between 50,000 and 500,000 RMB or confiscation of property.
Pick-up behavior
Article 314 of the Civil Code stipulates that if a lost property is found, it shall be returned to the right holder. The finder shall promptly notify the right holder to collect it, or send it to the public security and other relevant departments.
If the amount of money collected exceeds 5,000 yuan and refuses to return it, it may constitute the crime of embezzlement. On the basis of article 270 of the Criminal Law, whoever illegally takes possession of other people’s property, and the amount is relatively large, and refuses to return it, is to be sentenced to up to two years imprisonment, short-term detention or a fine; where the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, a sentence of between two and five years imprisonment and a concurrent fine is to be given.
If you break the cordon and enter the scene after the police arrive at the scene, you may be suspected of obstructing official business. If the circumstances are serious, they will be detained for between 5 and 10 days, and may be concurrently fined up to 500 RMB; In serious cases, it may constitute the crime of obstructing official duties, which is punishable by fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, controlled release or a fine.
