Former Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, President of the Court, and Director of the Detention Center of Guangshui City, Hubei Province were hunted by criminal forces
Occupied Sweeper
"This warning education film made me realize that once a leading cadre relaxes his vigilance and loses his principles, he is likely to fall into the abyss of violating discipline and law step by step and become a'person in the case'..." Recently, Guangshui City, Hubei Province A leading cadre of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission said with deep feeling after watching the warning education film "The Alarm Bell Rings for the Fight Against Corruption".
One of the "persons in the case" is Zhou Feng, former member of the Standing Committee of the Guangshui Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Hubei Province has previously publicly notified 11 typical cases involving gangs, corruption, and “protection umbrellas”. Among them, Zhou Feng, knowing that Yang Guoyou’s involvement in gangs was a key case under investigation by the public security organs, agreed to the Guangshui City People’s Court to release on bail and await trial Yang Guoyou 2 members of triad organizations. Zhou Feng was expelled from the party and public office for serious violations of discipline and law, such as dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty and changing compulsory measures for members of triad-related organizations.
Zhou Feng’s arrest tore through the city’s "protection net" of criminal forces organized by the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, the president of the court, the chief trial division, the director of the detention center, and the police of the detention center, and unearthed a series of violations that have been hidden for many years. case. As of July this year, 31 people have been investigated and dealt with corruption and "protective umbrella" issues, 25 people have been punished for party discipline and government affairs, and 9 people have been transferred to judicial organs.
A complaint letter unveiled the "protective umbrella"
This crime-related crime that has caused widespread concern should start with a letter of complaint from the masses. At the beginning of 2017, the public security department of Suizhou City, after receiving clues from the masses against Yang Guoyou in Guangshui City for gang-related issues, filed a case for investigation, and reported the case as a “4·20” project to the Anti-gang Office of the Public Security Department of Hubei Province .
According to investigations by the public security department, Yang Guoyou has arbitrarily issued usury in Guangshui City since 2013, and in the process of forcing the debt, he has carried out a series of suspected illegal and criminal acts, resulting in many debtors and enterprises being forced to suspend production or even go bankrupt.
In the early morning of April 23, 2017, the Public Security Bureau of Suizhou City went to several locations to arrest members of Yang Guoyou's criminal gang involving gangs. Afterwards, Yang Guoliang’s brother Yang Guoliang approached Zhou Feng and asked him to greet the public security department for his other brother Yang Guohong’s suspected crime of picking up quarrels and provoking troubles. Zhou Feng greeted Zhang XX, deputy chief prosecutor of Guangshui City People’s Procuratorate, and tried Changed Yang Guohong's name in order to be released on bail pending trial. At the same time, Zhou Feng also leaked to Yang Guoliang secret matters in the criminal investigation.
On August 21, 2018, Cheng Hua, the former president of the Guangshui City People’s Court, reported to Zhou Feng that the court planned to release two members of Yang Guoyou’s criminal case on bail pending trial due to insufficient numbers of prison rooms in the Guangshui City Detention Center. At that time, Zhou Feng was traveling abroad and simply asked on the phone whether it would affect the trial of the case. Hearing Cheng Hua’s answer that complied with the law and the review committee had approved it, he gave consent without even interrogating the name of the subject of bail pending trial. Members of the case Chen Fuchao (brother-in-law of Yang Guoyou) and Zou Fenfen were released on bail pending trial.
After Zhou Feng learned that Chen Fuchao was among the two people who changed the compulsory measures, and knew that Chen Fuchao was identified by the public security organs as an active participant in Yang Guoyou’s criminal case, he still failed to take effective measures to rectify it. During the call with Yang Guoliang, he said, "I won't nod, can he (Chen Fuchao) come out?"
After Yang Guoyou’s “Umbrella” case involving the black crime occurred, the Suizhou Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision quickly set up a task force to organize and implement review and investigations in accordance with the investigation plan of “multiple attack and multipoint linkage”, and at the same time coordinate the establishment of a special team for collaboration with the Municipal Public Security Bureau. .
In the end, Zhou Feng was expelled from the party, public office, and sentenced to four years in prison. Cheng Hua and Zou Fenfen, the defendant involved in the criminal case, asked the trustee Hu Guotang to bring entertainment and accept him twice. Cheng Hua knew that criminals could not be released on guaranty pending trial, so he still discussed with the trial judge to give the green light to members of the gang involved in gangs, and violated the regulations to obtain guaranty pending trial for Chen Fuchao and Zou Fenfen. As a result, Cheng Hua was removed from the party position, government affairs, and demoted to an ordinary cadre.
Zhang Jiuchun, former member of the Judicial Committee of the People's Court of Guangshui City and the former chief of the Juvenile Comprehensive Tribunal, served as the presiding judge of the case. He accepted Hu Guotang's treat and received 5,000 yuan in cash as "remuneration". At the same time, Zhang Jiangchun, the driver of the Guangshui City People’s Court of another gang-related defendant, Chen Fuchao, learned that Zhang Jiuchun was nervous and was anxious to repay his foreign debts, so he took the initiative to coordinate the gang members to borrow 50,000 yuan to Zhang Jiuchun for use. Repay personal debts. In the end, when Cheng Hua decided to release the defendants Chen Fuchao and Zou Fenfen on bail pending trial, Zhang Jiuchun chose to “cooperate in tacit cooperation”, and in the Suizhou Intermediate People’s Court, the Guangshui City People’s Court immediately arrested Chen Fuchao and Zou Fenfen and sent them to Suizhou City. Under detention in the detention center, Chen Fuchao and Zou Fenfen were detained to the Guangshui City Detention Center in violation of the decision of the higher authorities, resulting in the two defendants being detained in the same cell. Zhang Jiuchun was therefore "double-opened".
Several "police umbrellas" were also found in this criminal case. Wu Bingyao, former member of the Party Committee of the Guangshui City Public Security Bureau, Xiong Chuancheng, the former Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, and Chen Songtao, a police officer of the Public Security Brigade, respectively greeted Shen Zhibin, the former director of the Guangshui City Detention Center, and requested that Chen Fuchao be taken care of. Based on the severity of the case and other disciplinary violations, Shen Zhibin and Xiong Chuancheng were "double-opened", Wu Bingyao was given a warning from the party, and Chen Songtao was given a warning from the party.
When Yang Guoyou was detained in a detention center in Xiaochang County, Xiaogan City, he got acquainted with Xu Shuhua, an indigenous policeman and doctor, because of a fight with a detainee. At that time, Xu Shuhua was in high debt, in order to collect wealth and repay his debts, he proactively posted Yang Guoyou and became a "messenger" between Yang Guoyou and the outside world.
During Yang Guoyou's custody, Xu Shuhua used the pretext of taking Yang Guoyou out of the hospital for medical treatment three times, and arranged for Yang Guoyou to meet with his son-in-law Gao Pengfei and others at the hospital where he was treated. Xu Shuhua stood by. In addition, Xu Shuhua also used his position to help detainees coordinate changes in compulsory measures and reduce sentences, and accepted bribes of more than 300,000 yuan from relatives of detainees. Xu Shuhua was therefore "shuangkai" and sentenced to six years in prison.
"We adhere to the position of trial responsibilities, accurately identify and combat the "Umbrella" of underworld forces, and earnestly control the facts, evidence, procedures, and application of the law." The relevant person in charge of the case trial office of the Suizhou Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision introduced.
How can a black sweeper become a black protector
Law enforcement officers violated the law, and the crackdown became "black protection". From the secretary of the Guangshui Municipal Legal Committee to the president of the court and the head of the trial division, to the director of the detention center and the police in the detention center, the political and legal system has a systematic corruption problem, which is obviously not an "incidental". What caused the systematic corruption of Guangshui municipal law system?
"The reason why Zhou Feng and others were successfully'encircled and hunted' by the underworld forces is not because the underworld forces are so clever and powerful, but the core factors are nothing more than power and money transactions and interest-driven." Suizhou City Commission for Discipline Inspection Commission's task force is analyzing the case Shi pointed out that Yang Guoyou's involvement in the black "protective umbrella" case intensively exposed some prominent problems such as the lack of ideals and beliefs of some cadres of Guangshui municipal law organs, the weak awareness of discipline and law, and the distortion of power views.
"With the continuous promotion of my career, I gradually forgot that I was a leading cadre of a party member, and that I had forgotten the training of many years in the organization. The awareness of discipline and law gradually weakened, and finally I embarked on the road of illegal crimes." Turning Zhou Feng's confession Book, it is not difficult to see why he "falls".
According to the case handling personnel, after Zhou Feng gained power, he became keen to make friends with businessmen and call them brothers. For the sake of "brother" feelings, he gradually developed to be unprincipled, ignoring party discipline and national laws, engaging in power and money transactions, breaking the discipline that should be adhered to. And the bottom line of the law, eventually made myself planted on the "buddy loyalty" and ended in a sad end.
The difference from Zhou Feng is that Zhang Jiuchun has fallen into the "renqingguan". She wrote in her repentance book, “In handling cases involving Yang Guoyou and others, I want to hold myself in check and not accept money or goods, but the defendant’s relatives and friends will always find various relationships, various excuses, and various reasons. Get close to me, try to do something very affectionate, penetrate into my life and thoughts."
After reviewing the case, we can find that the loss of power is the common shadow of their "falls." Driven by greed, Xiong Chuancheng tried his best to "realize" his power and became the "protective umbrella" for Yang Guoyou and other criminals. During the four years of his tenure, he decided to approve that the offenders should stop administrative detention and ask for leave for 21 times.
In Shen Zhibin's view, the detention center is only a short-term detention. Relatives and friends of the detainees usually give out cigarettes and alcohol, and invite them to have a meal in order to take care of the detainees. As a result, the "hidden rule" of not giving gifts and doing nothing made him lose the bottom line of being honest in politics. Through in-depth investigation of Shen Zhibin's case, he also uncovered the illegal and criminal facts such as falsely arranging public funds for expenditure, embezzling public funds for personal use, and accepting bribes for the benefit of others.
The reason why some criminals and criminals involved in criminal activities unscrupulously and blatantly engage in illegal and criminal activities is that they have captured the characteristics of individual law enforcement officers who regard money as life. Since Xu Shuhua became a "messenger" between Yang Guoyou and the outside world, he still provided his personal mobile phone to Yang Guoyou so that he could contact Gao Pengfei when he knew that the detainees could not communicate with the outside world. Even to avoid telephone detection and control, Xu Shuhua reminded Gao Pengfei to purchase two elderly phones and re-register the numbers, and he brought one of them into the detention center for use by Yang Guoyou and Gao Pengfei. At the same time, Xu Shuhua helped Yang Guoyou twice to pass on the materials involved in the case, such as appeal materials and defense opinions, so as to facilitate Yang Guoyou to grasp the progress of the case in real time. In order to thank Xu Shuhua for his help, Yang Guoyou promised to give Xu Shuhua 200,000 yuan "thank you" after the case was closed. Later, due to changes in the case, Xu Shuhua received a total of 32,000 yuan in cash.
The criminals involved in these crimes have their own personal factors, as well as the inadequate implementation of the main responsibilities and supervision responsibilities of the departments involved. These all provide opportunities for the underworld to take advantage of the situation.
"Zhou Feng's series of cases once again alert us to strict management and strict supervision of the team. Once abnormalities occur, not only must they have the ability to'detect in time', but also conduct targeted ideological and political education in all directions to ensure similar cases. It will not repeat itself again.” The relevant person in charge of the Political and Legal Committee of the Guangshui Municipal Party Committee said.
The relevant person in charge of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Suizhou City has analyzed that from the illegal approval of the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, the illegal decision of the court president, and the illegal detention of the director of the detention center, there are problems in the entire chain, indicating that the municipal law system internally and externally supervises, regulates the use of power and There are problems in the supervision of the "critical minority".
He said that it is necessary to strengthen supervision and control, truly combine the scientific allocation of power with effective supervision of party members and cadres, further regulate the law enforcement behavior of cadres in the political and legal system, and the behavior of making friends, and establish a "whoever approves and who is responsible, who handles The whole-process recording, whole-process supervision and accountability mechanism of who is responsible, and at the same time, with the help of the media and the supervision of the masses, make the "protective umbrella" of evil forces nowhere to hide.
Negative cases sound the alarm
"Please, in conjunction with Yang Guoyou's involvement in the black'protection umbrella' case, organize and carry out work style and discipline education rectification activities, in-depth search for cadre education management loopholes, improve rules and regulations, establish a sound long-term mechanism, and report the results to our committee within one month." Deeply do a good job in the Yang Guoyou's "Umbrella" case involving the black "protective umbrella", and the Supervision Commission of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection issued a disciplinary inspection proposal and a supervision proposal to the relevant departments of Guangshui City, clearly assigning rectification responsibilities to specific units and personnel , Promote the case-initiating unit to plug the loopholes in the system, establish a long-term mechanism, and promote the effective connection of "deep digging and radical cure" and "long-term regular governance". At present, 25 disciplinary inspection proposals and supervision proposals have been issued.
Suizhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision issued the "Recommendation on the Ecological Discipline Inspection of Guangshui Municipal Law Organs for Purification of Guangshui Municipal Party Committee", requesting the Guangshui Municipal Party Committee to address issues such as inadequate ideological education and lack of supervision on the operation of power in Guangshui Municipal Law Organs. , Strengthen warnings and education in discipline and law to plug loopholes in the system.
At the same time, the disciplinary inspection and supervision organs of Suizhou City acted quickly, reporting and exposing typical cases, convening warning education conferences, compiling warning records of typical cases, shooting warning education videos, and organizing disciplinary inspection and supervision cadres to preach cases. "This kind of warning education should be carried out more, and it will help us a lot." Xiao Zhang, who has just joined the police in the Guangshui City Public Security Bureau, said that the live cases that happened around have made everyone deeply educated and vigilant, and we must take warning. .
In response to the problems exposed in the case, Guangshui City organized the "Five Ones" activities, that is, talk about an honest party lesson, sign an honest government commitment, conduct a criticism and self-criticism, sort out a batch of system lists, and form a rectification report. To achieve the effect of "investigating and handling a case, educating a group of cadres, perfecting a set of systems, and solving a type of problem" to the limit.
In order to continuously expand the deterrent effect of the case, Suizhou City carefully organized and compiled programs such as the dialect slogan "Righteousness" and "Multiple unrighteousness will kill oneself", and took the form of walking street and lanes to drive the "caravan" of Puji Puji to the grassroots level. Local cultural performances moved onto the stage. "Through today's'caravan' performance, we know more about the spirit of the central government's special struggle against crime and evil, and how to report it." The crowd said that everyone would like to watch and understand such a performance. Up to now, the city’s "Caravan" has been toured more than 140 times, with nearly 100,000 educated people.
In order to further enhance the effect of warning education, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Suizhou City has also explored an "online + offline" warning education model. "Online" relies on the clean Suizhou website and WeChat official account to publish the report website and telephone number, and publish work trends in a timely manner. "Offline" conducts publicity and education activities in multiple ways, such as visiting warning education bases, observing court hearings, etc., and through distributing publicity brochures, broadcasting publicity videos, and rewarded knowledge quizzes, etc., to promote the masses’ special campaign against evil The understanding of the "protective umbrella" of fighting and fighting the underworld forces has mobilized the masses to provide clues to crime-related crimes, and gather the forces of "punishing corruption and fighting the umbrella."
At the same time, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Suizhou City continued to deepen the activities of "Five Talks and Five Promotions Based on Cases", and made full use of typical cases around it to conscientiously carry out disciplinary, ethical, harmful, and responsible, police, learning, reform, and Promote management and construction, build an ideological defense line for party members and cadres to resist corruption and degeneration from the source, and strive to create a clean and upright political ecology.
