"First Pot of Gold"

Arbitrarily seize collective land to get rich

  The court found out that in the early 1990s, Chen Xianjin, Chen Zhihui, Chen Guoqiang and others were fighting bravely and aggressively in group fighting with villagers in the neighboring villages. In 1992, Chen Xianjin, with the support of Chen Zhihui and Chen Guoqiang, used threats, intimidation and other means to serve as the cadres of the Dashatang villager group. After taking office, Chen Xianjin took advantage of economic interests to attract Chen Haihua, Chen Huiqiang, Chen Jianhong, Chen Huanxin and others. In 1997, Chen Xianjin conspired with Chen Zhihui, Chen Guoqiang and others to take the opportunity of the cadres of the villager group to elect Chen Haihua, Chen Huiqiang, Chen Jianhong and others as cadres of the Dashatang villager group by manipulating elections. Since then, Chen Xianjin and Chen Zhihui have formed control over the village group of Dashatang.

  Soon after they took office as village cadres, the group distributed the village to individual mountains and collected them on the grounds of "checking wasteland and eliminating wasteland". Another witness recalled that after the mountains were collected into collectives, Chen Zhihui, Chen Xianjin and others proposed to rent 200 acres of trees to plant, 3,000 yuan per year, and the lease period was 50 years. At that time, there was no village meeting to vote, and the contract rent was low. The period is too long, and the price has not increased year by year. Villagers have great opinions.

  "We planted a large number of banyan trees. The reason for renting and cultivating these lands is that we want to get compensation for young crops when the government needs to develop and requisition these lands in the future." High amount of compensation for land acquisition and additional compensation for young crops.

  In addition, the gang members also occupied the village collective land and built two rental houses and three freight yards... Su Zhili, the judge of the first court of the Guangdong High Court who handled the case, introduced that the "first pot of gold" by Chen Xianjin, Chen Zhihui and others It is obtained by encroaching on the collective land of the village.

"Shaba" is famous

Illegal sand mining profit exceeds one billion yuan

  Several defendants, including Zhou Qinghua, recalled in their confession that since 2003, the group led by Chen Zhihui and Chen Xianjin entered the river sand industry and seized huge wealth. In order to better control the people under his control, he split the sand field shares to some people. The Chen Zhihui gang madly pirated the river sand in the Beijiang River Basin, but also involved in mineral quarries, illegal mining, accumulated a lot of wealth. Later, they began to invest in real estate, hydropower stations, fire door factories and other businesses.

  The case-handling staff introduced that around 2003, as Chen Zhihui was business-minded and would "make money", with the strengthening of economic strength, his position in the organization surpassed Chen Xianjin and became the "top leader".

  Chen Zhihui was nicknamed "Afo" and was born in 1971 in Qingcheng District, Qingyuan City. He has a high school education.

  After the court hearing, it was determined that around 2003, Chen Zhihui and Pan Haitian set foot in the river sand mining industry and formed a strong position in the competition by competing with Zhang Mouyi and Zhang Mouhua (these two cases were handled separately). Since 2008, the organization has monopolized the river sand mining project in the Qingyuan section of the Beijiang main stream through collusive bidding.

  In the process of river sand mining, Chen Zhihui is responsible for organization and leadership, and decides on the cooperation method, profit sharing, and profit-making purposes of river sand mining. Pan Haitian and Zhang Mouhua, as their own representatives, are responsible for various affairs management of river sand mining. Chen Jianhong is responsible for sand yard and ship management; Chen Huanxin is responsible for sand yard management and coordination with the water conservancy department and traffic police department; Wu Yanfei is responsible for sand yard management, coordination with the water conservancy department, etc.; Chen Haihua is responsible for organizing personnel for illegal sand mining... …From 2004 to the beginning of 2018, Chen Zhihui, Pan Haitian and others illegally mined tens of millions of cubic meters of sand, with profits exceeding one billion yuan.

  In order to win the bid, they organized a number of companies to participate in bidding for multiple river sand projects in the Qingyuan section of the Beijiang mainstream by collaborating on bid quotations and coordinating the arrangement of funds and personnel. The defendants Chen Zhihui and Pan Haitian successively bid for a total of more than 213 million yuan in 24 river sand projects, and the defendant Liu Wei participated in the collusive bidding for 11 river sand projects, with a total amount of more than 97.88 million yuan.

  In addition, Chen Zhihui also bribed personnel from the water affairs and other departments to give green light to illegal sand mining.

  Witness He Moumou said: "I haven't seen this person, Chen Zhihui, but in the industry where we are engaged in sand making, everyone in the industry knows that Chen Zhihui is the biggest boss behind the scenes. It can be said that he is the first person to dominate Qingyuan Hesha, we This pedestrian nicknamed Chen Zhihui-'Shaba'."

Severe grade

Someone was scolded for super "boss" car

  The defendant Chen Xianjin confessed that since about 2004, Chen Zhihui's business became bigger and bigger, and his interpersonal relationship became wider and wider. "We also respect Chen Zhihui more and more. He has become a core figure in the village."

  "Among our gang, Chen Zhihui's words are like imperial edicts, even if they are wrong, they must be executed." The defendant Chen Huiqiang said.

  Inside the gang, there is a strict hierarchy. The defendant Chen Shiwen said: "Since 2009, we go to Xinfeng to worship our ancestors during Qingming every year. Each time, Chen Zhihui and Chen Xianjin's cars are in the top two. After Chen Guoqiang's car hall, the village head Chen Guotian's car is in the middle of the fleet. During the driving process, the car of Chen Zhihui and Chen Xianjin should not be exceeded." The defendant Chen Jianhong remembered, "One time Chen Huanxin's car that exceeded Chen Zhihui and Chen Xianjin was scolded by the two."

  Defendant Zhou Qinghua's status before joining was a little special. Zhou Tsinghua, born in 1963, was originally a retired public security officer with a flexible mind. After retiring, he became the "military division" of the gang.

  According to the prosecution's allegations, in the process of the organization's development and growth, the retired public security police defendant Zhou Qinghua was attracted by the illegal economic interests and joined the organization. Zhou Tsinghua used his legal knowledge and work experience to actively make suggestions for the organization, such as: mock interrogation of the members of the organization, abetment of the members of the organization, etc., whose behavior enhanced the ability of the organization to evade the blow; in the construction of "civilized village" and "beautiful village" Zhou Tsinghua focused on packaging and beautifying Chen Zhihui and others, and played an important role in washing the identity of Chen Zhihui and Chen Xianjin.

Was sentenced to robbery

Fancy others camphor tree dug with hook machine

  "When Chen Zhihui is mentioned in Longtang Town, everyone can be said to be afraid," said a witness.

  Villager Lu Mouhua from a nearby village recalled that one day in 2012, Chen Jinshui of Dashatang Village brought four or five men to dig his camphor tree with a hook machine.

  The court found that in April 2012, the defendant Chen Jinshui and others found a large camphor tree on the self-retained land of the victim Lu Mouhua brothers near Xinzhuang Village Agricultural Machinery Station of Xinzhuang Village Committee and reported to the defendants Chen Zhihui and Chen Xianjin. Chen Zhihui and Chen Xianjin arranged for Chen Jinshui and the defendants Chen Jianquan, Chen Zhijun, Chen Guotian and others to forcibly transplant the large camphor tree into Chen Zhihui's compound on April 23, 2012. In the meantime, Chen Jinshui and others also injured the Lu Mouhua brothers. According to the price determination, the camphor tree is worth 28,000 yuan.

  The court found that the above actions of Chen Zhihui and others constituted the crime of robbery.

  The gang acted badly on the ground, and the villagers kept reporting. In November 2016, the Public Security Bureau of Qingyuan City officially initiated the investigation procedure for the criminal crimes committed by the criminal forces of Chen Zhihui and Chen Xianjin. On April 2, 2018, 35 criminal suspects such as Chen Zhihui and Chen Xianjin were arrested by thousands of police.

  On December 27, 2019, the Qingyuan Intermediate People's Court made a first-instance judgment for the crimes of organizing and leading a triad organization, conspiracy to bid, illegal mining, robbery, provocation, crime of extortion, intentional destruction of property, and obstruction of testimony The crime of opening a casino decided to impose a 25-year prison sentence on Chen Zhihui, deprive him of his political rights for 3 years, and confiscate all his personal property, with a fine of 33.72 million yuan. The defendant Chen Xianjin committed eight counts and was sentenced to 23 years’ imprisonment, deprivation of political rights for 3 years, and confiscation of all personal property with a fine of 11.22 million yuan. The remaining 33 people were sentenced to imprisonment of 17 years to 1 year and 10 months, and fined. After the judgment of the first instance, Chen Zhihui and 30 others filed an appeal.

  The first-instance verdict has more than 600 pages, more than 330,000 words, more than 3,000 interrogation CDs, and 657 volumes of files. Facing the vast amount of trial materials, the second-instance collegiate panel carefully discerned the facts of the crime, reviewed the appeals, and sorted out the focus of the dispute, striving to be neither futile nor indulgent.

  After the second trial, the Guangdong High Court held that the first-instance decision had clear facts, the evidence was reliable and sufficient, the conviction was accurate, the sentence was appropriate, the trial procedure was legal, and the ruling dismissed the appeal and upheld the original sentence.

  This legally declared the fall of a generation of "Shaba".
