Father and son imprisoned for corruption, couple punished on the same day for corruption
Whole family rot
"The defendant once ordered Liang to commit bribery and was sentenced to 13 years in prison and fined RMB 3 million..." A few days ago, the former deputy inspector of the Hunan Provincial Department of Land and Resources, Zeng Lingliang, was sentenced in the first instance of the bribery case. Zeng Lingliang was sentenced to 13 years in prison. , And fined 3 million yuan.
Of the more than 30 million yuan of bribes that Zeng Lingliang received alone or in collaboration with others, more than 18 million yuan had the participation of his son Zeng Guoguang. The two were also investigated and imprisoned on the same day.
Why did the tragedy of both father and son being corrupted and imprisoned happen?
"Improper treatment of family members", "Improper family style", and "Lack of strict family education".
How to prevent family-style corruption such as corrupt fathers and sons and money-collecting couples?
Father and son were corrupt and jointly accepted more than 18 million yuan in bribes
"I have been hunted several times without noticing it." Zeng Lingliang, who was behind bars, clearly remembered that one day in the second half of 2006, businessman Gao contacted him through his son Zeng Guoguang and expressed his desire to seek in matters related to real estate development. Ideas to help.
At that time, Zeng Lingliang was very energetic. A year ago, he was promoted to Assistant Inspector of Hunan Provincial Department of Land and Resources. At the same time, he was also the party secretary and director of Changsha Land and Resources Bureau. He directly participated in deciding the land use right transfer and land acquisition approval of Changsha City. matter.
In the face of Gao, who had a classmate with his son, Zeng Lingliang didn’t think about it for too long, so he took advantage of his position to help Gao’s company transfer the land use right of a plot in Yuelu District, Changsha City, with preferential transfer prices, and payment deadlines for the transfer price. Seek benefits in matters such as changes.
"Secretary Zeng, can the Liuyangxian man-made reservoir land improvement project be done?" After tasted the sweetness, Gao repeated the old tricks and took Zeng Guoguang to find Zeng Lingliang's "consultation project."
Seeing that his son was also involved, Zeng Lingliang had no objection, and he even said in a high-sounding voice: "Pay attention, don't affect investment promotion, focus on coordination, and don't mess things up."
With the support of Zeng Lingliang, Gao, Zeng Guoguang and others discussed, in the name of a Hunan company, participated in the Liuyangxian Man-made Reservoir land improvement project invested by a Chongqing company, and benefited from it.
In March 2010, a Chongqing company paid 15 million yuan to the company in the name of paying compensation without participating in any land remediation work in Hunan.
"In fact, this Chongqing company is Gao's company. The so-called compensation is to thank Zeng Lingliang and Zeng Guoguang for their'care' in business." According to the investigator, Zeng Guoguang received 4.5 million after obtaining Zeng Lingliang's consent. Yuan, Gao and others also shared the money.
With the help of Zeng Lingliang and his sons, Gao's company's business is progressing smoothly, and Gao quickly became the chairman of the company's Hunan branch.
In 2011, Zeng Guoguang planned to buy a house.
"The townhouses we developed are very good, and they can still be discounted now." Gao is well versed in the way of "hunting" and said that he can sell a villa to Zeng Guoguang with a "discount".
In June of the same year, Zeng Guoguang purchased the house in the name of his father-in-law and paid the purchase price. The original house payment of RMB 1,943,500 was directly "discounted" by RMB 594,500.
Faced with such a huge "discount", the Zeng family and his son did not refuse.
"Why did they make a clever name to let me make money? It's nothing more than to thank my father for his care, or to ask my father for related land business. To make money for me through various reasons is to pay bribes to my father." Zeng Guoguang naturally understood this. It was a "trap" of the businessman, but he was already caught in it.
The investigation revealed that Zeng Guoguang and his father Zeng Lingliang had jointly accepted bribes of over 18 million yuan.
In July 2018, the Hunan Provincial Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Agency filed a case for Zeng Lingliang and his son respectively for review and investigation and adopted lien measures on the same day.
"One thing I regret and deeply confessed is that I took my son with him and brought him deep damage..." Faced with the family tragedy that his father and son were investigated on the same day, Zeng Liang felt that he blamed himself but it was too time. It's too late.
Soon after the first trial of Zeng Lingliang’s bribery case was pronounced, Zeng Guoguang was also sentenced to five years’ imprisonment and fined 500,000 yuan. The illegal gains were recovered, both father and son were imprisoned, and the family paid a heavy price.
Misfortune caused the Xiaoqiang, and the pure family relationship evolved into a corrupt interest relationship
Zeng Lingliang and his son were not the only ones who were investigated for corruption with their relatives.
According to statistics, since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Discipline Inspection Commission’s website of the State Supervision Commission has published nearly 60% of the disciplinary and administrative sanctions for central management cadres, and more than half are due to the use of positions. And convenience for the benefit of relatives.
In the cases investigated and dealt with by the disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies in various places, family corruption such as corrupt fathers and sons, money-collecting couples and even family corruption have repeatedly appeared.
On November 24, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Tongliang District of Chongqing Municipality issued a notice that Lin Huijiang, the former member and deputy director of the Management Committee of Chongqing Jinlong Industrial Park, was expelled from the party, and Luo Tianqiong, the former party secretary and vice chairman of the Tongliang District Family Planning Association, was dismissed. Expulsion from the party and public office.
Lin Huijiang and Luo Tianqiong are both party members and leading cadres. Instead of urging each other to build a clean and honest family, they have colluded in partnership and corruption, using power as their own "tool for wealth."
"I have agreed with Luo Tianqiong that I will receive all such unclean money, so that Luo Tianqiong's account will be very clean, and the relevant departments will not be able to find us." In 2009, we jointly accepted a friend sent it. After 200,000 yuan, "wives work on the front desk, and the husband collects money behind them" has become a corrupt "routine" for the two, and the family relationship has evolved into a collusive and corrupt interest relationship.
From 2008 to 2013, Lin Huijiang and Luo Tianqiong conspired to take advantage of Luo Tianqiong as the former deputy director and director of Tongliang County Land and Housing Management Bureau. They were suspected of jointly receiving more than 2 million yuan and assisting others in project contracting, advancement, and payment of funds. , Land and housing management procedures to seek benefits.
"'Family life's profit-seeking' and'family affection materialization' are typical characteristics of corrupt officials' family ethics." Wu Xiaofei, a teacher at the School of Marxism, Capital University of Economics and Business, believes that the reckless exercise of power will do everything possible for oneself, family, and For the benefit of relatives, the end will only be "pull out the carrots and bring out the mud", and the whole family suffers a fatal blow.
Zhang Lingping, the former deputy director of the Agricultural and Rural Work Committee of the Standing Committee of the Gansu Provincial People's Congress, is a typical example of a case involving one person and the whole family.
According to the investigator, Zhang Lingping is the eldest son of the family and the most promising one among the brothers and sisters. He takes great care of his wife, children and three sisters. He will accept all requests from his family as long as he can bring them to his family. He does all things of interest.
The family members under his banner and using his power to make profit, he first acquiesced, then condoned, and finally even relied on his family to collect money, collect money and manage things.
"Zhang Lingping is like a'fortune tree'. Relying on this big tree, the husband sings and the women follow, the father is greedy and the son is occupied, the brothers and sisters are all involved, and the family of three and four brothers and sisters are all involved in the case." The investigator said.
Improper family habits breed corruption and harm the family
"To teach the world, one must have his family, he must be righteous." The words and deeds of party members and cadres directly affect family members. If they are correct themselves, paying attention to family, family education, and family style construction, they will form a good family atmosphere; they are not correct and ignored Family style and tutoring will have a serious negative impact on family members and families.
"The essence of corruption is the exchange of power and money. If I can strictly uphold public rights, how can my family members have room for corruption? First of all, the corruption of family style is a serious problem with my own style. The core is that my political quality, integrity and self-discipline are not good. Zhang Qi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and former secretary of the Haikou Municipal Party Committee, confessed that he had been informed that "family ethics had been corrupted and he had collected money with his family."
The evolution of Zhang Qi’s family style is closely related to his own thoughts, thoughts, and actions. In his youth, when he was immersed in hard work and self-denial, his wife was knowledgeable, courteous, diligent and thrifty. As Zhang Qi’s life fell and his style of work was corrupt, His wife gradually became vain and greedy for pleasure; after Zhang Qi's faith collapsed and his thoughts deteriorated, his wife and son who had been earning money could no longer look back, and eventually the family broke up.
It can also be seen from the cases of Lin Huijiang and Luo Tianqiong that party members and leading cadres are not righteous, and their families are likely to coerce and use each other, use public power as a tool for personal gain, and eventually jointly move toward violation of discipline and law.
"There is no regret medicine in the world. I must pay for my actions, but I hope that the majority of party members, especially the families of party members and leading cadres, will take me as a warning and not repeat my mistakes." Lin Huijiang regretted it.
Parents’ beloved sons have far-reaching plans.
If the cadres themselves are not correct, not only can they not help their children grow up healthily, they can easily lead their children astray.
In the case of Zeng Lingliang and his son, Zeng Guoguang was originally an ordinary policeman. He joined the traffic police detachment of the Changsha Public Security Bureau in August 1996, and later stepped into the police station chief and other posts.
However, his corrupt father, Zeng Lingliang, believed that his son worked in a police station, not deep in the world, and looked very hard, so he let him "go to the sea to do business" and arrange for him to "do business" with businessmen, which eventually caused the two to interact with each other. Utilize, to the abyss of violation of discipline and law.
It is worth noting that the phenomenon of relatives of leaders and staff around them taking advantage of their relationships with leaders for personal gain has also frequently occurred.
Zhang Qi’s driver, Zhou, took advantage of Zhang Qi’s power and status to provide assistance to others in project bidding, land auctions and listing, and received 4.5 million yuan in cash alone or in cooperation with others.
The driver Qiao Lizhi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Shanxi Provincial People's Congress and deputy director Zhang Maocai, helped others to contract projects worth hundreds of millions of yuan and received 3.75 million yuan in benefits.
Hu Xinghong, the nanny of Li Yilong's family, former secretary of the Hengyang Municipal Party Committee of Hunan Province, relied on the convenience of being "speakable" with the leaders to help people mobilize work and earn benefits.
"Managing and educating family members and staff around them is the duty and responsibility of party members and leading cadres." Tian Kun, an associate researcher at the Institute of Marxism, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the "family style clause" "Continuous improvement has provided more powerful and effective system support for leading party members and leading cadres to pay attention to family style building and manage their families and staff around them.
Seize the key minority, strengthen the construction of family style, and prevent family-style corruption
The family style of leading cadres is not a personal matter or family affair, but an important manifestation of the style of leading cadres, which is related to the style of the party and government, and affects the social atmosphere.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has incorporated the building of leading cadres' family style into the category of style building, and has been institutionalized in the form of internal party regulations.
"Several Guidelines on Political Life within the Party under the New Situation" clearly requires that leading cadres, especially senior cadres, must pay attention to family, family education, and family style; "The Communist Party of China's Integrity and Self-Discipline Guidelines" clearly list the integrity and self-discipline standards for party members and leading cadres An important content of the Chinese Communist Party's Disciplinary Measures; the "Chinese Communist Party Disciplinary Sanctions Regulations" clarify the sanctions that party members and leading cadres do not pay attention to the construction of family traditions and impose punishment on their spouses and children.
“When formulating relevant norms for family style construction, the central government paid special attention to giving play to the exemplary role of party members and leading cadres, and put forward higher requirements for leading cadres than ordinary party members and cadres.” Tian Kun said, first grasping the “key minority” of leading cadres, Form the demonstration effect under the above rate, and promote the improvement of social atmosphere with the improvement of party style.
Disciplinary inspection and supervision organs at all levels insist on the integrated promotion of not daring to rot, not wanting to rot, not wanting to rot, taking both the symptoms and root causes, and comprehensive management, guiding and promoting party members and leading cadres to pay attention to family, family education, and family tradition.
Always pay close attention to punishment and not relax, comprehensively strengthen deterrence, accurately punish corruption in accordance with regulations, disciplines and laws, strengthen deterrence against corrupt elements, and connive, acquiesce to spouses, children and other close relatives who use the influence of party members and cadres to seek personal gain Party members and leading cadres dealt with it seriously.
In addition, the discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels deepened both the symptoms and the root causes to standardize the exercise of power.
The State Administration Bureau and other units took the opportunity of inspection and rectification to strengthen the supervision and management of "key minorities" and key positions, and make regulations on business-run enterprises with close relatives of leading cadres.
In response to the problems exposed in cases such as "corruption of fathers and sons", Hunan issued the "Regulations on Prohibiting the Use of Leading Cadres' Power or the Influence of Their Positions to "Pick Baskets" for Private Gains" and "On Resolutely Resisting and Seriously Investigating the Use of Leading Cadres' Names to "Play Brands" "Regulations on Handling Affairs" and other provisions regulate the exercise of power by party members and cadres from the system level to strictly prevent "family corruption."
Dongfeng Company and other units have carried out special governance such as business-run enterprises by the relatives of leading cadres, and further improved system procedures, plugged regulatory loopholes, and strengthened the prevention and control of integrity risks.
Family style building is a long-term project. The culture of integrity has played a subtly, profound and lasting role in guiding party members and cadres to self-discipline, self-discipline, integrity, and cultivation of modern civilized personality.
Disciplinary inspection and supervision organs pay attention to the educational role of a culture of integrity and good family traditions. They use the textbooks for the construction of family traditions of party members and cadres, such as "The Passion of the Family" and "Strictly Governing the Family". Strengthen the construction of family traditions and build a dam of thinking that "does not want to be corrupt".
