The Municipal Notary Association said in the circular that the media reported the illegal fund-raising case of Zhongan Minsheng Asset Management Co., Ltd. and Zhongan Minsheng Pension Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhongan Minsheng Company") in the name of "providing for the elderly with housing". Some media mentioned that a notary office in Beijing was suspected of illegally notarizing the victim, which led to his investment being cheated. The Beijing Notary Association attached great importance to this, promptly read the files, asked notaries and checked with relevant financial institutions. We are now reporting the relevant situation.
After investigation, Beijing Notary Office has never notarized the so-called "house-to-house pension project" of Zhongan Minsheng Company, nor has it notarized other fund-raising and wealth management projects of Zhongan Minsheng Company.
According to some borrowers, during 20 17 and 20 18, they signed mortgage loan contracts with banks and other financial institutions, and applied to the notary office for notarization to give the mortgage loan contracts compulsory enforcement effect. After obtaining loans from financial institutions, the borrower invests in relevant projects of Zhongan Minsheng Company. At present, Zhongan Minsheng Company has been criminally filed by the public security organs for allegedly raising funds illegally.
Verified by the Municipal Notary Association, after all notaries in this city accepted the relevant notarization, the notaries reviewed the materials submitted by both parties according to law, asked the parties about the purpose of applying for notarization, informed them of the legal significance and legal consequences of applying for notarization, and gave a risk warning. When the relevant parties handle notarization in the notary office, their statements on the purpose of the loan are buying a house, expanding business, capital turnover, etc. This is consistent with what they said when they applied for loans from financial institutions.
At present, the case of Zhongan Minsheng Company suspected of illegal fund-raising has entered legal proceedings.
The Municipal Notary Association said that it will continue to pay attention to the progress of the case, coordinate relevant notary agencies to actively cooperate with relevant departments to carry out their work, and welcome the media and all sectors of society to supervise according to law.
