Wu Jiekai, former party secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, was arrested after he absconded for 16 years
Full coverage of chasing and fleeing makes absconded personnel nowhere to hide
● After the reform of the national supervision system, the level of professionalism of the discipline inspection and supervision agencies has been continuously improved, forming an effective joint force. The proposal of a full coverage target for the pursuit of fleeing and stolen property will help promote more absconded public officials.
● Big data has played an important role in the pursuit of escaped and stolen stolen goods. It not only forms a detailed database of absconded persons, but also has new improvements in information comparison and data analysis, leaving these absconded persons nowhere to hide
● Anti-corruption, fleeing and stolen property recovery is not an overnight effort. It must not only stop at the critical level of key cases, but must plan and promote as a whole, and consider the combination of points and areas.
Even if a certain case is successful, if the legal system for tracing and recovering stolen goods is not sound, this success is only a stopgap measure, not a long-term success, and it does not have universal imitability, long-term and stability.

Recently, according to the official WeChat account of the Heilongjiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, Wu Jiekai, the former party secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, was arrested and brought to justice, who was suspected of committing crimes on duty and absconding for 16 years.
This is the highest level of duty crime suspect recovered by Heilongjiang Province since the reform of the supervision system.
According to a review of public information, reporters from the Rule of Law Daily found that since the reform of the supervision system, disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels have recovered a number of suspects who had absconded in many places in the country, and some suspects had absconded for 20 years.
Experts interviewed by reporters from the "Rules of Law Daily" believe that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the discipline inspection and supervision organs have continued to improve the system and mechanisms for the pursuit and recovery of stolen goods, and establish a database for the pursuit and recovery of stolen goods. Criminal suspects who absconded from official duties were arrested and brought to justice, and at the same time formed a strong deterrent to criminal suspects who were absconding from official duties.
Experts suggest that in the future, it is necessary to continue to improve the comprehensive application of information technology in discipline inspection and supervision agencies, public security agencies and other relevant departments, make full use of the supervision powers granted by the supervision law, persist in promoting escape, recovery, and prevention of escape, and improve the legal system for recovery and recovery .
Rely on big data to find traces
Always maintain a high-pressure situation of chasing and fleeing
The website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection recently disclosed a lot of information about the Wu Jiekai case.
On January 21, Wu Jiekai returned to court.
"For your arrival, I feel both sudden and know that it is inevitable. There is no way to escape, and it will be sooner or later to be recovered. I had expected this day." After the arrest, Wu Jiekai said.
Wu Jiekai joined the work in August 1974. He used to be the director of the Heilongjiang Provincial Government Research Office and the Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Government. Later, he successively served as the Secretary of the Yichun Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Heilongjiang Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau.
In September 2004, Wu Jiekai resigned without authorization and his whereabouts were unknown.
After 3 months, the organization removed him.
In March 2006, the then Party Committee of the Heilongjiang Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau reported to the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee for approval of his dismissal from public office; in May of the same year, he reported to the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee for approval of his removal from the party.
On March 13, 2006, the Heilongjiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection transferred clues about Wu Jiekai's suspected duty crime to the Heilongjiang Provincial People's Procuratorate.
On March 17 of the same year, the Heilongjiang Provincial People's Procuratorate designated the Harbin City People's Procuratorate for clues about Wu Jiekai's suspected corruption and embezzlement of public funds.
In August of the same year, the Harbin People's Procuratorate filed a case against Wu Jiekai for suspected corruption.
However, Wu Jiekai disappeared without a trace as if the world had evaporated.
After the reform of the supervision system, the Harbin Supervisory Committee was responsible for the Wu Jiekai case, and it was listed as a key case by the Heilongjiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Heilongjiang Province Fugitive Pursuit Office.
In September 2017, the Harbin Municipal People’s Procuratorate, through the Heilongjiang Provincial Public Security Department, discovered that the ID card named "Dai Shuguo" was suspected to be Wu Jiekai, and found that "Dai Shuguo" had traces in Chongqing and other places. Had an accommodation record with a woman surnamed Qin.
The chasing personnel immediately went to the Shuozi police station where the household registration of "Daishuguo" was registered and found that the household registration was empty.
Since then, "Daishuguo" has lost all kinds of information like Wu Jiekai.
The pursuit of fugitives was once again stranded.
Soon, the Central Office for Fleeing Pursuits requested Heilongjiang Province to fulfill its responsibilities, increase its work, and go to Heilongjiang specifically to supervise relevant cases.
Then, the Heilongjiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision established a special class for chasing fugitives, focusing on the Wu Jiekai case to make breakthroughs.
Based on the previous work of the Harbin People’s Procuratorate, the special team used technical means to compare the relevant information between Wu Jiekai and "Dai Shuguo" and confirm that they are the same person. By focusing on "Dai Shuguo" and its close relationship The related person, Mr. Qin, conducted a big data investigation and found many doubts and valuable information.
At this time, a person named "Mo Zhu" entered the field of vision of the case-handling personnel and became a key part of promoting the progress of the case.
"Qin has a close relationship with'Mozhu'. The background of'Mozhu''s online avatar is a snow scene in the northeast. Wu Jiekai has strong writing skills, is good at poetry and loves photography.'Mozhu' may be named because of his good at and hobby." The person in charge of the chasing class speculates.
Based on various information and doubts, the special class for chasing and fleeing fugitives initially determined that "Mo Zhu" was Wu Jiekai.
On January 20, 2021, the special team for chasing and fleeing escaped and flew to Chengdu, Sichuan Province, where "Mozhu" is located overnight, and went straight to a community where "Mozhu" lives in the early morning.
At about 11 o'clock on January 21, "Mo Zhu" appeared in the residential area, and was later controlled by a special chase and escape team.
After another comparison, it was confirmed that "Mo Zhu" was Wu Jiekai who had absconded for 16 years.
That night, the escape team escorted Wu Jiekai back to Harbin and transferred it to the Harbin Municipal Supervisory Committee to handle it in accordance with the law.
According to data from the Heilongjiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, since December 2020, Heilongjiang Province has recovered 9 public officials suspected of duty crimes at large, of which 7 were pursued within the country.
Peng Xinlin, director of the International Anti-Corruption Education and Research Center of Beijing Normal University, told a reporter from the Rule of Law Daily that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has incorporated anti-corruption, fleeing and stolen property recovery into the overall anti-corruption strategy, which is in line with "fighting tigers and flies." Synchronous deployment and simultaneous advancement have formed a closed loop in the fight against corruption.
my country's anti-corruption, escape and recovery work has always maintained a strategic initiative and active offensive posture and has achieved historic achievements. It is currently developing in the direction of building a long-term mechanism for anti-corruption, escape and recovery.
In Peng Xinlin's view, this also means that it is more and more difficult for suspects of duty crimes to escape.
Skynet is magnificent, careless and not leaking. "If you are greedy, you will run, and you will run away" is just wishful thinking.
Discipline Inspection and Supervision Organs Weave Secret Skynet
Successfully recovered multiple absconding personnel
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, especially since the reform of the national supervision system, the discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels have been carrying out international anti-corruption, fleeing and recovering stolen goods, at the same time they have also recovered a number of absconding criminal suspects in China.
For example, in May 2019, the website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection released information that the Beijing Municipal Supervisory Commission’s first criminal suspect at work in the year Wang Xuefei, the former accountant of Xinxing (Beijing) Engineering Construction Real Estate Development Company, was suspected of embezzling public funds in 2001. He was filed for investigation in July of 1988 and has absconded since the incident.
In 1998, Wang Xuefei misappropriated a total of 2.06 million yuan of public funds twice.
In 2000, after divorcing his ex-wife and leaving his family without saying goodbye, he fled to Shenzhen, Guangdong Province alone.
In December 2018, after the establishment of the Haidian District Supervisory Committee of Beijing, professional forces were deployed to form a task force for the pursuit and recovery of stolen stolen goods, which is responsible for the work of tracing and recovering stolen stolen goods in Haidian District, unified centralized management and concentrated efforts to investigate and handle cases.
One of them was the misappropriation of public funds by Wang Xuefei that had been shelved for many years.
With the help of high-tech means, the investigators have grasped Wang Xuefei's whereabouts and the rules of life and travel in Shenzhen, and locked down where he was hiding.
On January 8, 2019, the investigators arrested him in Luohu District, Shenzhen.
Wang Xuefei has also become the first person to be recovered since the establishment of the Haidian District, Beijing escaping and looting task force.
A reporter from the Rule of Law Daily noticed that the investigators used technical means when arresting suspects of duty crimes.
In July 2020, the Shao case disclosed on the website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is one example.
According to the information disclosed by the case-handling agency, from January 1999 to February 2003, Shao, deputy director of the business department of a bank’s Shangyu branch in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, used his position to facilitate the handling of customer deposits and transfer of deposit certificates. The funds deposited by bank customers in the bank are used for personal profit activities, and the amount involved is huge.
In 2003, Shao absconded.
In May 2020, the case was listed as an important case under the supervision of the Zhejiang Province Fugitive Pursuit Office, and it was handled by the District Supervision Committee of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Shangyu District, Shaoxing City.
After technical analysis by the task force staff, Shao may be hiding in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
After the cooperation between the two places, on June 29, 2020, the police in Lingchuan County of Guilin City used technical means to locate Shao.
Immediately, with the cooperation of the local police, the staff of the task force arrested Shao on the same day.
Peng Xinlin believes that in recent years, information technology has been effectively used in the practice of pursuing escaped and stolen goods in China, with obvious effects.
This was the case with Wu Jiekai's case. The case handling agency made full use of technical means to discover Wu Jiekai's whereabouts and finally captured him.
In Peng Xinlin's view, when suspects of duty crimes fled, especially when they were incognito and cut off contact with the outside world, the traditional methods of tracing and tracing stolen stolen goods by casting nets and needles in a haystack would make it difficult to trace the escapees and the transfer of corrupt assets. , It is difficult to achieve good results.
In the context of the big data era characterized by massive information and data mining, human activities are inadvertently stored in the form of data in the cloud data of the network system, and the absconding of official criminal suspects usually has a strict plan, preparation of documents, and forgery. During the process of identity and property transfer, there are likely to be obvious signals such as frequent travel records and capital account changes.
"So, make full use of modern technology and information technology to strengthen the application of big data analysis technology in the pursuit of stolen stolen goods, through the travel records, capital accounts, mobile phone tracks, consumption records and other information of escapees and their specific related persons. Big data analysis is likely to lock in information such as the whereabouts of expatriates and asset transfers, so that the absconded people have nowhere to hide or hide." Peng Xinlin said.
According to Song Wei, a professor at the University of Science and Technology Beijing and director of the Center for Integrity Research, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the pursuit of fleeing and stolen property has become an important part of the anti-corruption work, whether absconding abroad or at home, Discipline inspection and supervision agencies are working hard to form a "sky net."
Among them, big data has played an important role in the pursuit of escaped and stolen stolen goods. It not only forms a detailed database of absconded persons, but also has new improvements in information comparison and data analysis, leaving these absconded persons nowhere to hide. .
"In addition, after the reform of the national supervision system, the professionalism of discipline inspection and supervision agencies has been continuously improved, forming an effective joint force. The proposal of a full coverage target for fleeing and recovering stolen goods will help promote more absconded public officials to come to justice." Song Wei said.
Equal emphasis on long-term systems
Promote the pursuit of escape and stolen goods
In June 2014, the Central Pursuit Office was established.
Since then, 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have successively established provincial-level escape missions.
In March 2018, the establishment of four-level supervisory committees at the national, provincial, municipal and county levels was completed.
In March 2018, the "Supervision Law of the People's Republic of China" was promulgated and implemented, which clarified the role of the supervisory agency in the pursuit of escaped and stolen goods.
Peng Xinlin said that with the deepening and development of the reform of the national supervision system, the institutional advantages of the reform are being transformed into governance efficiency, and the effectiveness of anti-corruption, pursuit of escape and recovery of stolen goods is also emerging.
For example, after the reform, the supervisory agency has become the organizer of the cases of escaping and recovering stolen goods. It is not only the commander of the cases of escaping and recovering stolen goods, but also the combatant on the front line. The functions related to the pursuit and recovery of stolen goods have been further integrated. The work force has been strengthened and a stronger work force has been formed.
It can be said that the continuous deepening of the reform of the national supervisory system has provided a steady stream of strong momentum for anti-corruption, fleeing and looting.
So, how can we improve the system of chasing and fleeing in the future so that corrupt people dare not and do not want to abscond?
Peng Xinlin suggested that, on the one hand, we should insist on promoting the pursuit of escape, the recovery of stolen goods, and the prevention of escape.
Do a good job of chasing and escaping. Once the person is back, the work of chasing stolen goods will take the initiative; strengthen the pursuit of stolen goods, cut off the "nutrition source" of absconding and corrupt elements, and squeeze their living space; weave secrets to prevent escape and run out. If there is less, and more are recovered, it will form a strong deterrent to corrupt elements who absconded and those who attempt to abscond, and will help consolidate the effectiveness of escaping and recovering stolen goods.
In Peng Xinlin's view, on the other hand, it is insisting on both focusing on key individual cases and long-term system construction.
Grasping the key cases is an important starting point for forming a strong deterrent and driving the overall advancement of the anti-corruption, escape and recovery work.
Give full play to the leading role of the successful case "Niubizi", and promote the continuous deepening of the pursuit of escaped and stolen goods.
"Anti-corruption, fleeing and recovering stolen goods is not an overnight effort. We must not only focus on the critical aspects of key cases. We must make overall planning and overall advancement, and consider the combination of points and aspects. Even if a particular case is successful, if the legal system for fleeing and recovering stolen assets is not sound This kind of success is only an expedient measure, not a long-term success. It does not have universal imitability, long-term and stability." Peng Xinlin said, "Therefore, more attention should be paid to the establishment of a long-term system for fleeing and recovering stolen goods. Work hard to form an overall effect."
Song Wei’s suggestion is to not only strengthen the effective supervision of the main leading cadres, give full play to the supervision efficiency of the cadres’ declarations of personal matters and the integrity files and other information, and form an effective escape prevention mechanism; but also to improve the information technology in the discipline inspection and supervision organs and the public security The comprehensive application of agencies and other relevant departments makes full use of the supervisory powers granted by the Supervisory Law to reduce the risk of corruption of corrupt officials.
