Villagers Fu Mou-mou and Li Mou-mou provided assistance for illegal sand mining activities, identified as accomplices in illegal sand mining, sentenced to one year, three months and eight months'imprisonment respectively, and fined 3000 yuan and 2000 yuan respectively. According to
the judicial organs, Tang Mou-mou and Chen Mou-mou, as state functionaries, took advantage of their positions to illegally accept other people's property and illegally dispatched law enforcement officers to cover up illegal sand mining criminal activities, which caused great losses to the interests of the state and the people and constituted the crime of accepting bribes and abusing their powers. From the end of
2021 to April 2022, Yang Mou-mou and Yang Mou-mou violated the provisions of the Mineral Resources Law and stole sand several times without obtaining a sand mining license. The circumstances were serious, and their actions constituted the crime of illegal sand mining. Yang Mou-mou and his brother Yang Mou-mou illegally mined sand in the river course of Dacheng Town, Danzhou City. Tang Mou-mou, the head of the town's comprehensive law enforcement brigade, and others accepted their entrustment and took advantage of their positions to provide relevant conveniences so that Yang Mou-mou could smoothly carry out illegal sand mining activities. Fu Mou-mou and Li Mou-mou, knowing that Yang Mou-mou and others are unlicensed mining, still provide assistance to illegal sand mining activities and are accomplices in illegal sand mining. During this period, Li acted as a middleman to facilitate Yangmou, Yangmou and others to use (cultivate) land for illegal sand mining. After appraisal, the total amount of sand mining resources in this reach is 3108.92 cubic meters, with a total value of 0.94 yuan 455477.
