组织、领导传销罪的认定及与其他罪名的区别

On Affirmation of Organizing and Leading Multi-level Marketing Crime and Its difference from Other Crimes

我国《刑法修正案(七)》新增加了"组织、领导传销罪",对"非法传销"明确入罪,使"组织、领导传销罪"成为独立罪名,在某种程度上可以摆脱以往对非法传销行为定罪难的困境,也加大了对该行为刑事制裁的范围,加强了打击力度,能够更好地起到预防犯罪的作用。但是,《刑法修正案(七)》的规定不够具体明确,使得罪与罚在司法实践中难以把握。司法机关在适用法律时,除准确区分直销与传销外,应注意三点:一是单位不能成为组织、领导传销罪的主体;二是组织、领导传销罪是一种行为犯;三是组织、领导传销罪与其他罪可数罪并罚。

The Amendment of Criminal Law （VH） added ＂Organizing or leading Illegal Multi-level Marketing Offense＂, thus ＂Illegal Multi-level Marketing＂ was classified into crimes definitely and ＂ organizing or leading illegal multi-level marketing＂ became an independent crime. This really, at a certain degree, can get away from the predicament in sentencing illegal marketing and enlarge the striking strength and scope with some better function to crime prevention. However, the amendment＇s provisions are not enough explicit and concrete, so as to lead to some problems in judicial practice. The judicial organs should differentiate the direct selling and illegal multi-level marketing firstly, and then notice the following three points： 1 ） the unit can not become the body to organize or lead the illegal multi-level marketing; 2） illegal multi-level marketing crime is a kind of behavior crime; 3） Illegal multi-level marketing crime can be punished with other offenses together.
