Chinanews, Beijing, February 27 – Li (30 years old) took his trail at the People's Court of Shijingshan District of Beijing on February 26, for sending blackmailing1 letters to several supermarkets there.

 

Li pretended to be an “Afghan soldier”in the letters, and he demanded of the supermarkets some 1 million yuan to “support his jihad back home”. Finally Li was sentenced to 4 years in prison.

 

Li admitted his guilt2, but he confessed that originally he only meant to revenge his friend, who was “bullied” by a supermarket when he put up his bookstall beside it. In fact, the letter was a hotchpotch of words pieced together from the Internet, and the idea of blackmailing came from another friend. “I thought it would be fun to send the letter,” said Li.

 

However, the public prosecutor3 claimed that Li committed the crime because he needed money for use by his pregnant girlfriend and his sick mother, and also for himself, an unemployed4 person, and so the idea of extorting5 money from supermarkets came to him.
