More than 2 years after his successive smuggling of controlled substances from the USA into China and the subsequent sale thereof, the illegal actions of a man in Nanjing have finally caught up with him. The court now deliberates.
The suspect, a 25-year-old man surnamed Xie, has been indicted by the People’s Procuratorate of Qinhuai District in Nanjing for smuggling drugs such as marijuana, tobacco oil and marijuana chocolate from the United States on four occasions.
犯罪嫌疑人谢某25岁，因四次从美国走私大麻、烟油、大麻巧克力等毒品罪，被南京市秦淮区人民检察院提起公诉。
The defendant was furthermore accused of profiting to the tune of ¥12,100 from the sale of the drugs, by way of online chat payment, and even delivery by courier.
被告还被指控通过在线聊天支付甚至快递送货的方式销售毒品，获利约12,100元。
Xie, an employee of a Hunan-based sports company, was detained originally by the Qinhuai Branch of Nanjing’s Public Security Bureau on 23 October, 2020, on suspicion of drug trafficking. He was then released on bail on 22 November of the same year. It then took until almost 2 years later for the court to decide to obtain a guarantor pending trial, on 31 August, 2022.
谢某系湖南某体育公司员工，因涉嫌贩卖毒品罪于2020年10月23日被南京市公安局秦淮分局刑事拘留。同年11月22日他被保释。直到近两年后，法院才于 2022 年 8 月 31 日决定获取一名待审担保人。
Finally, full details of the wrongdoing have emerged to the public, with The Paper today publishing a complete breakdown of the shipments into China made by Xie, as well as information regarding those he sold them to. This is accompanied by the exact quantities thereof, as well as the amounts paid and received in respect to said shipments.
最后，不法行为的全部细节已经向公众公布，澎湃新闻今天发布了谢向中国发货的完整明细，以及有关他将这些货物出售给谁的信息。附有其确切数量，以及与上述货物相关的已付和已收金额。
In particular, it appears that Xie was a fan of hemp chocolate. All in, he had managed to smuggle into China and sell a total of 206.19 grams of the popular, recreational snack.
尤其是，谢似乎很喜欢大麻巧克力。总而言之，他成功走私到中国，并总共售出了 206.19 克这种受欢迎的休闲零食。
On 27 September, 2020, Qinhuai Police were successful in intercepting a package sent to a man, surnamed Zhang, at the express courier station in the property management office of Fengguangli Phase II Residential Community off Daming Lu. Officers found it to contain 62.86 grams of hemp chocolate.
2020年9月27日，秦淮警方在大名路风景丽二期小区物业管理处快递站成功截获发给张某的包裹。警方发现其中含有 62.86 克大麻巧克力。
The Drug Control Detachment of Nanjing Public Security Bureau later confirmed that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) was indeed detected in the items in said package.
南京市公安局禁毒支队随后证实，该包裹内的物品确实检出四氢大麻酚（THC）。
As THC is the principal psycho-active ingredient in cannabis, Xie’s behaviour was found to have violated the first, fourth and seventh paragraphs of Article 347 of the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China.
由于四氢大麻酚是大麻中的主要精神活性成分，谢某的行为违反了《中华人民共和国刑法》第三百四十七条第一款、第四款和第七款的规定。
The defendant has made no objection to the facts and evidence of his alleged crimes, has voluntarily pleaded guilty and is said to be accepting of all possible subsequent punishment. As such, it is thought that a certain amount of leniency may well be granted.
被告人对其指控的犯罪事实和证据没有提出异议，自愿认罪，并表示愿意接受后续一切可能的处罚。因此，认为可以给予一定程度的宽大处理。
In the analysis, it’s a relatively small amount, but the indicting of Xie serves also as a reminder as to the seriousness with which China treats the smuggling and sale of controlled substances. The message is clear; no matter the amount, don’t even think about trying to make some easy money in such an illegal manner.
从分析来看，这是一个相对较小的数额，但对谢的起诉也提醒人们，中国对待走私和销售管制药物的严肃性。信息很明确；无论金额多少，都不要想以这种非法方式轻松赚钱。
