The crime of illegal business operations is a public prosecution case and is under the jurisdiction of the public security organs according to law, and the case is filed for investigation. When administrative agencies discover illegal acts when investigating relevant cases, they should transfer the case to the public security agency for investigation and hold the suspect responsible for criminal liability. If the illegal business cases directly investigated and dealt with by the public security organs do not meet the standards for criminal prosecution, they should be transferred to the relevant administrative agencies for investigation of administrative responsibility.
