娄秋琴律师就备受社会广泛关注的河南瘦肉精案接受央视采访 

2011年7月25日晚，总部刑事部合伙人娄秋琴律师受中央电视台英文频道《中国24小时》栏目邀请，就备受社会各界广泛关注的河南瘦肉精案接受电话连线采访，对案件中的法律适用问题、以危险方法危害公共安全罪和非法经营罪的法律界限以及双汇集团的法律责任等法律问题发表了专业意见。以下为部分采访内容： 

Q1 The suspects are accused of endangering public security, but the defendant insisits they should be charged with unlawful business operation. What differences does the charge make? 

The former is classified as a crime against public security in Criminal Code, which places the core issues on the potential threats to human health and the safety of the private and public property, when Clenbuterol hydrochloride are fed to the livestock and poultry.If the accusation is proved, the maximum punishment can be death penalty, just as Liuxiang got in his case .

Hower, the crime of unlawful business operation is one kind of disturbing the market order crimes, which emphaseses on the illegal and unauthorized producing of Clenbuterol hydrochloride and other drugs. So, the objects violated by the two crimes are different. In sentencing, the maximum of the crime of unlawful business operation is fifteen years imprisonment only, and the lightest sentence is just criminal detention. But the best result of the crime of endangering public secuirity is still three years  imprisonment.

…… 

Q2:The suspects also claim that the Shineway Group should take greater responsibility. What do you think? 

According to current public report, the products of Shineway group are detected to contain Clenbuterol hydrochloride. This is a significant food safety accident. The livestock carrying Clenbuterol hydrochloride flows to the consumers by the processing and production of the Shineway group, which leads to a wider range of hazard. But the root of hazard to the food safety is still the production of Clenbuterol hydrochloride. Of course, if Shineway group knew that the livestock are raised by Clenbuterol hydrochloride and still provide further processing and sales, it can still be accused of the crime of Producing and selling poisonous foods. But it needs evidence support certainly.

新闻背景：

    据新华社电河南焦作市中级人民法院和沁阳市人民法院25日分别公开开庭审理了两起涉“瘦肉精”刑事案件，并分别以犯有以危险方法危害公共安全罪、玩忽职守罪依法对8名被告人当庭作出一审判决。其中，主犯刘襄制售“瘦肉精”被依法判处死刑，缓期2年执行，剥夺政治权利终身。

　　生产2700公斤瘦肉精

　　焦作市中级人民法院审理查明，被告人刘襄、奚中杰明知国家禁止使用盐酸克仑特罗饲养生猪，且使用盐酸克仑特罗饲养的生猪流入市场后会严重影响消费者的身体健康。为攫取暴利，2007年初，刘襄与奚中杰约定共同投资，研制、生产、销售盐酸克仑特罗用于生猪饲养，其中刘襄负责研制、生产，奚中杰负责销售。

　　被告人肖兵、陈玉伟明知盐酸克仑特罗对人体有害，仍在刘襄研制出盐酸克仑特罗后联系收猪经纪人试用，并向刘襄反馈试用效果好。随后，刘襄大规模生产盐酸克仑特罗，截至2011年3月，共生产2700余公斤，非法获利250万余元。奚中杰、肖兵、陈玉伟负责将刘襄生产的盐酸克仑特罗销售。刘襄之妻被告人刘鸿林明知盐酸克仑特罗的危害性，仍协助刘襄进行研制、生产、销售等活动。

　　5被告人生产、销售的盐酸克仑特罗经过多层销售，最终销至河南、山东等地的生猪养殖户，致使大量使用盐酸克仑特罗勾兑饲料饲养的生猪流入市场。

　　3检疫人员玩忽职守

　　沁阳市人民法院审理查明，被告人王二团、杨哲、王利明作为沁阳市柏香镇动物防疫检疫中心站工作人员，疏于职守，对出县境生猪应当检疫而未检疫，运输工具应当消毒而未消毒，且没有进行“瘦肉精”检测，就违规出具《动物产地检疫合格证明》及《出县境动物检疫合格证明》、《动物及动物产品运载工具消毒证明》、《牲畜1号、5号病非疫区证明》，其中，王二团、王利明还委托或默许不具备检疫资格的牛利萍代开证明。

　　3被告人的行为致使3.8万头未经“瘦肉精”检测的生猪运到江苏、河南等地。

　　沁阳市人民法院以玩忽职守罪，判处被告人王二团有期徒刑六年，判处被告人杨哲有期徒刑五年，判处被告人王利明有期徒刑五年。
