被告人韦某某，男，1962年6月13日出生，汉族，小学文化，系西安某某水产副食有限责任公司法定代表人，公民身份号码XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX，户籍所在地山东省菏泽市曹县，住山东省曹县，2019年10月29日因涉嫌非法吸收公众存款罪被西安市公安局未央分局刑事拘留，同年11月25日被依法逮捕，现羁押于西安市未央区看守所某某。   辩护人韦啟亮，山东德衡律师事务所律师。   辩护人辛春光，山东德衡律师事务所律师。   西安市未央区人民检察院以西未检刑诉[2020]42号起诉书指控被告人韦某某犯非法吸收公众存款罪，于2020年7月9日向本院提起公诉。本院依法组成合议庭，公开开庭审理了本案。西安市未央区人民检察院指派检察员刘昕伟依法出庭支持公诉，被告人韦某某及其辩护韦啟亮到庭参加诉讼。现已审理终结。   公诉机关指控，2012年3月至2012年6月间，被告人韦某某以西安某某水产副食有限责任公司（以下简称某某公司）扩建公司冷库建设为名，未经国家相关部门批准，在公司办公地（西安市未央区XX街XX村XX号）招聘业务员组建融资团队，采用印制宣传单页，上门推销及让投资群众参观某某公司冷库等手段进行业务宣传，吸引投资客户，针对不特定人群，采取年化近20%高息的方式吸收公众存款40余人约200余万元。同年7月，某某公司以公司主体融资不合法，有人到相关部门进行举报，将部分群众借款合同转签至西安某某投资咨询管理有限公司，该公司由韦某某注册并实际控制，由其子韦顺顺担任法定代表人，韦某某担任股东。后某某公司冷库拆迁，资金链断裂，被告人韦某某变更联系方式逃逸。2019年10月28日被告人韦某某在山东被民警抓获。    为证实指控的犯罪事实，公诉机关向法庭出示了受案登记表、抓获经过、证人证言、相关书证、司法鉴定意见书、被告人韦某某供述及其户籍证明等证据，据此认为被告人韦某某的行为已触犯《中华人民共和国刑法》第一百七十六条规定的非法吸收公众存款罪，应依法追究其刑事责任。   被告人韦某某对起诉书指控的犯罪事实和罪名均无异议，表示自愿认罪。   被告人韦某某的辩护人提出以下辩护意见：1、本案吸收的资金都是以西安某某水产副食有限公司的名义进行的，且资金也是用于公司的生产经营，故本案应是单位犯罪。2、被告人韦某某非法吸收公众存款数额中有预先扣除的部分利息，实际吸收资金不满200万；3，被告人公司被冻结的拆迁款项足以弥补吸收对象直接投入的资金，且系初犯、偶犯，主观恶性不大，到案后自愿认罪认罚，应予以从轻处罚。   经审理查明，2012年3月至2012年6月间，被告人韦某某以西安某某水产副食有限责任公司（以下简称某某公司）扩建公司冷库建设为名，未经国家相关部门批准，在公司办公地（西安市未央区XX街XX村XX号）招聘业务员组建融资团队，采用印制宣传单页，上门推销及让投资群众参观某某公司冷库等手段进行业务宣传，吸引投资客户，针对不特定人群，采取年化近20%高息的方式吸收公众存款40余人约200余万元。同年7月，某某公司以公司主体融资不合法，有人到相关部门进行举报，将部分群众借款合同转签至西安某某投资咨询管理有限公司，该公司由韦某某注册并实际控制，由其子韦顺顺担任法定代表人，韦某某担任股东。后某某公司冷库拆迁，资金链断裂，被告人韦某某变更联系方式逃逸。2019年10月28日被告人韦某某在山东被民警抓获。     另查明，某某水产公司冷库拆迁款200万元整已被公安机关冻结在案。

  上述事实，被告人韦某某在开庭过程中亦无异议，且有公安机关出具的受案登记表、报案材料、抓获经过、临时羁押登记表、土地租赁合同、土地使用权租赁合同、辨认笔录及照片、工商登记资料、营业执照、宣传资料、司法鉴定报告书、证人证言、被告人韦某某供述及其户籍证明等证据证实，足以认定。   本院认为，西安某某水产副食有限责任公司违反国家金融管理法规，未经有关部门批准，以高额返利为诱饵向社会公开宣传，非法吸收公众存款，被告人韦某某系该公司开展非法集资活动的主要负责人员，其行为已构成《中华人民共和国刑法》第一百七十六条规定的非法吸收公众存款罪，西安市未央区人民检察院指控其犯非法吸收公众存款罪的事实成立，依法应予以惩处。关于辩护人提出的本案是单位犯罪的辩护意见，与庭审查明事实相符，本院予以采纳。关于辩护人对鉴定意见书所提异议，未提交相应证据，故该意见不予采纳。被告人韦某某到案后，能够如实供述自己所犯罪行，表示自愿认罪，可依法从轻处罚，辩护人的相关意见予以采纳。经被告人韦某某居住地山东省曹县司法局调查评估,同意对其适用非监禁刑,进行社区矫正.依据《中华人民共和国刑法》第一百七十六条、第六十七条第三款、第四十五条、第五十二条、第五十三条、第七十二条、第七十三条、第六十四条，最高人民法院《关于审理非法集资刑事案件具体应用法律若干问题的解释》第一条、第三条，最高人民法院、最高人民检察院、公安部《关于办理非法集资刑事案件适用法律若干问题的意见》第五条之规定，判决如下：   一、被告人韦某某犯非法吸收公众存款罪，判处有期徒刑一年又六个月，宣告缓刑二年，并处罚金5万元。（缓刑考验期从判决确定之日起计算）   二、扣押在案的资金，发还各集资参与人。   如不服本判决，可在接到判决书的第二日起十日内，通过本院或者直接向陕西省西安市中级人民法院提出上诉。书面上诉的，应当提交上诉状正本一份，副本三份。     审判长 梁雪玲
