The thesis raises that the institutional smuggling crime isn't status crime although there is institutional status crime in theory on the base of definite concept of status crime and smuggling crime.
Our country prescribed money-laundering crime in Criminal Law in 1997, whose upper stream is drug, underworld organization and smuggling. Although the jurisdictional explanation in 2001 added terrorism crime to the upper stream, the scope is obviously narrow, which do little good to crack down those crimes involving money laundering.
The crime of money laundering is the result of drug crimes and crimes of smuggling which were increasingly rampant in the 1950s and 1960s. It is deemed as the lubricant and lifeline of some serious economic crimes such as manufacturing, selling or transport of drugs, smuggling, corruption, bribery and, in particular, organizing crimes.
In order to meet the judicial requirement of punishing smuggling crimes,the legislative and judicial leading organizations have drafted,amended,re- plenished and adjusted the laws and judicial interpretations and in that way,the comparatively perfect system of names of crimes has been constituted and the system appears the characteristics of completed regulations and serious punishments.
