First of all, let's talk about the course of this case. Mr. Li made an appointment with a female netizen five years ago. After Mr. Li waited at the designated place, the female netizen said that he had no travel expenses and food. Mr. Li transferred nearly 1,000 yuan to the female netizen. Later, female netizens said that he had acute appendicitis and needed more than 5,000 yuan for surgery. Mr. Li transferred money to female netizens again.
As a result, after Mr. Li transferred 8,000 yuan back and forth, the female netizen deleted Mr. Li. Obviously, Mr. Li encountered fraud, which is very common and easy to crack, but Mr. Li did not report to the police at that time, but recently came to the police station because he had to spend money to get married.
Secondly, judging from the history of the case, this case has a five-year prosecution period, which is also the prosecution period stipulated by law. In other words, as long as Mr. Li calls the police that day, that is, within a five-year period, then there is no prosecution period. If it is five years later, it will be impossible to file a case for investigation.
According to the screenshot of Mr. Li's payment, the day when Mr. Li was cheated was September 20 16 18, so if Mr. Li called the police on or before September 18 this year, there would be no prosecution period.
Since this news was broadcast by Nanjing TV Station on September 20th, we can probably judge that Mr. Li called the police at least in September 18, and there is no prosecution period. Moreover, if the criminal commits another crime within five years, he can also file a case for investigation.
