Repeated prohibitions on toxic foods have more than justified supervision of job crimes

Throughout 2011, "lean meat" pork, waste oil, dyed bread, poison bean sprouts, black heart roast duck ... ... toxic and hazardous foods again and again challenge people's psychological bottom line.

How to give the public a restful table, the role of government supervision agencies can not be ignored. A large number of facts indicate that job crimes in food safety supervision are one of the most important causes of food safety incidents.

"In this case, the procuratorial organs actively look for systemic loopholes and mechanisms in the food safety supervision link, comprehensively investigate the risk points for duty crimes in the food safety supervision link, and the prevention of duty crimes in the food safety supervision link is undoubtedly a root cause of the root cause." Song Hansong, director of the Office of the Supreme People's Procuratorate's Office of Crime Prevention at Work, said in an interview with a reporter from the "Legal Daily" on December 4.

Food safety supervision group crime spread

The former director of the State Food and Drug Administration Zheng Zheng was sentenced to death for taking bribes and dereliction of duty. Between 2007 and October 2010, officials from the Department of Medical Devices, the Drug Registration Department, and the Drug Review Center of the Bureau were corrupted.

Song Hansong bluntly stated that frequent job crimes occurred in the food safety supervision link, which severely restricted and weakened the supervision of food safety, and caused food safety problems to continue for many more times, hindering the development of food safety in China.

Wang Yong, a procurator of Tianjin Beichen District People's Procuratorate, disclosed that the criminal law provides for corruption, bribery, dereliction of duty, abuse of power, non-transfer of criminal cases for criminality, food safety supervision, etc. , occurs in all aspects of food safety supervision.

According to Wang Qiuli, procurator of the preventive department of the Hexi District People's Procuratorate of Tianjin, he summarized the characteristics of job crimes in the field of food safety.

According to him, due to the fact that food safety supervision has many aspects such as multiple review procedures, complicated procedures, and mutual supervision and control, it is increasingly difficult for criminals to commit crimes alone, and group crimes are spreading.

Food safety regulators have the status of national staff. Their criminal activities are concealed by the power of their posts and are highly concealed. In addition, failing to perform or failing to perform their duties due to acceptance of bribery constitutes an important cause of dereliction of duty by the perpetrator.

"To do a good job in food safety supervision, job crime prevention can promote the establishment and improvement of various food safety supervision systems. Through the implementation of the system, the supervisory personnel of various departments can earnestly perform their duties in their own supervision, and form a food safety supervision and protection chain." Say.

Special prevention survey with simultaneous prevention

In April of this year, after a series of serious food safety accidents such as the “dyeing of steamed bread” in Shanghai were exposed, the Supreme Inspecting and Preventing Department issued a “Notice on Strengthening the Prevention of Job-related Crimes in Food Safety Supervision.”

Wang Junjie, Prosecutor of the Duty Prevention Division of Baoshan District People's Procuratorate in Shanghai, said that immediately after the notification was issued, the hospital immediately set up a special prevention team to assign key personnel to prevent intervention in the case, participate in the trial of criminal suspects, grasp the case, and understand the “dyeing”. Shantou’s “production and sales process” and “hidden rules” of the industry eventually formed the “Preliminary Prevention Investigation Report on the Case of Dyeing Steamed Bun”.

Song Hansong believes that the preventive department of the procuratorial organs must strengthen the measures and actively carry out work-related crime prevention work while the anti-corruption and anti-corruption departments are seriously investigating the case of duty crimes.

The Supreme Inspectorate of Prevention requires that all duty crime cases that occur in the food safety supervision link be registered on a case-by-case basis, statistical analysis, and comprehensively check the risk points and risk links of job crimes; they must explore the characteristics of the crimes committed in the field of food safety. Causes and targeted prevention work. The prevention department should pay attention to finding clues in the investigation and promptly transfer it to the investigation department.

At the same time, we must closely integrate the typical cases we are investigating and carry out simultaneous prevention. For each case of duty crimes in the food safety supervision link investigated and dealt with, one case was taken for prevention, one case was analyzed, and the loopholes at the management level were analyzed in depth. Proposals for improvement of internal management and prevention measures were proposed to promote the effective rectification of relevant departments. , Improve and perfect the food safety supervision department's clean government risk prevention system.

A multi-pronged approach to creating a regulatory "protection chain"

On December 23, 2010, several wine companies in Changli County, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, were involved in the production and sale of shoddy and dry goods. Since then, Liu Li, Tian Mou, and other staff members of the Changli County Administration for Industry and Commerce have been involved in the investigation and were investigated by the People's Procuratorate of Changli County for the crime of abuse of power. When the case was opened on September 2, 2011, the Changli Procuratorate took the lead in organizing county, industry and commerce, taxation, quality supervision, and more than 30 administrative law enforcement regulatory personnel to attend the trial.

Song Hansong stated that the procuratorates at all levels should make full use of the resources for handling cases, organize exhibitions, carry out preventive consultations, and provide education and warning education to the staff of food safety supervision departments to further strengthen the sense of responsibility and responsibility of the supervision staff. awareness.

It is understood that in order to give full play to the role of duty crime prevention in the supervision of food safety, procuratorial organs throughout the country have explored many good experiences.

Some procuratorial agencies closely communicate with local health, industry and commerce, quality inspection and other industry leaders, supervisory departments, and disciplinary inspections, public security, courts, and other administrative law enforcement and judicial agencies to inform each other of situations, and establish major food safety regulatory issues or major hidden issues for the record. The notification system promotes the development of the administrative law enforcement and criminal justice information sharing platform.

After the procuratorial agency evaluates the situation of food safety supervision in the area, it issues warning and prosecution proposals for the existing loopholes, and then conducts follow-up supervision and inspection according to the response of each unit.

In addition, the procuratorial organs and the Office of the Food Safety Commission have signed a statement of responsibility for the prevention of work-related crimes in food safety supervision. The Office of the Food Safety Committee and various member organizations have signed a statement of responsibilities. They strive to prevent major accidents in food safety supervision, and there are no positions in food safety supervision. crime.
