Involved in 12 crimes, the amount involved exceeded 300 million yuan

Begin the case of Jilin Liu Lijun's underworld organization

　　□ Our reporter Liu Ziyang

　　"They used threats, intimidation, banners and other means to force me to use the house under my son's name to pay off debts, leaving the family with nowhere to stay. Because my parents could not stand the blow, they were afraid that I would hang myself." Speaking of my own experience, Lin Youcai was in tears.

　　Once Lin Youcai lived in a villa and started a road tiger. He was also a famous entrepreneur in Yushu City, Jilin Province.

Nowadays, he not only sold all his family property, but also owed a lot of foreign debts. Lin Youcai said that all of this was given by Liu Lijun.

　　Under the cover of legal "coat", for many years, Liu Lijun and others have provided high-interest loans to many real estate developers and other operators in Yushu City, set up high-value collateral, and implemented extortion, forced transactions, and provoked trouble when collecting debts. , Gathering crowds to disrupt social order and other illegal and criminal activities, wantonly determine the price of the mortgaged property and the repayment period, forcibly occupy the mortgaged property and other properties of the victim, and grab huge economic benefits.

　　On October 19, the Intermediate People's Court of Changchun City, Jilin Province publicly pronounced the first instance of Liu Lijun and other 23 defendants in the triad case.

So far, the underworld organization that has been entrenched in Yushu City, Jilin Province for many years has been uprooted.

Liu Lijun’s triad organization is concealed and confusing,

　　There are many "protective umbrellas", involving 12 crimes including organizing, leading, and participating in underworld organizations, intentional homicide, extortion, forced trading, gathering to disrupt social order, creating disturbances, and bribery, with assets involved in the case of more than 300 million yuan.

　　The elm "ruthless man" is notorious

　　Perhaps not many people have heard of Liu Lijun's name in Yushu, but no one knows the name "Old Gaozi".

　　In the early 1980s, Liu Lijun, in conjunction with social idlers, did evil in Yushu and was imprisoned for 7 years for committing hooliganism.

After serving his sentence and being released, Liu Lijun did not constrain at all and still actively participated in illegal and criminal activities.

　　In 1991, Liu Lijun, the head of the underworld organization Xu Dawei and others invaded Li Yuchun's home in Wuchang City, Heilongjiang Province, threatened and forced Li Yuchun with knives, and forcibly took his wife away.

In 1993, he "fighted" with Xu Dawei, Xu Huaiyu and others. Liu Lijun chopped Xu Huaiyu to the head with a knife. The social impact was bad.

　　In 1993, An Hongchen and Liu Lijun had conflicts with Sui Dianchang due to trivial matters.

An Hongchen brought an axe, a sharp knife and other tools with Liu Lijun, Xu Huaiyu, and Wang Mingzhe to Sui Dianchang’s residence near the Yushu Railway Station. Liu Lijun carried a wooden stick prepared in advance and An Hongchen carried a knife to chase Sui Dianchang together. Liu Lijun used wood Sui Dianchang was beaten with a stick, and An Hongchen stabbed Sui Dianchang with a knife. In the end, Sui Dianchang died of a heart rupture and bleeding caused by a chest stabbing.

　　As the power continues to grow, in 2009, Liu Lijun, as the actual controller, registered and established Yushu Tiannuo Small Loan Co., Ltd. with his wife Gu Linrong as the legal representative.

Under the guise of microfinance companies, Liu Lijun and others continued to use their accumulated funds to lend to usury and violently collect debts, gradually forming a relatively stable underworld organization.

　　Years of "killing, killing, and killing" have made local people "fearful". Criminal organizations used Liu Lijun's notoriety to knock on doors and intimidate them. Many victims dare not report the crime even if they have been abused, fearing that they will be harmed again.

　　"Liu Lijun can eat black and white, his hands and eyes are open to the sky. There is no imbalance in Yushu. Once, the public security agency asked me about his violent debt collection. Liu Lijun threatened me to'cooperate' and stop talking. I was afraid of being retaliated against. Dare to report to the public security organs." Lin Youcai said.

　　An investigator from the Criminal Police Detachment of the Public Security Bureau of Changchun City, Jilin Province, told reporters: “Liu Lijun’s work in the underworld organization is clear. Liu Lijun decides on all the affairs of the organization, controls and controls the assets of the organization, and directs members of the organization to conduct illegal and criminal activities. Illegal debt collection and the implementation of specific illegal and criminal activities, Gu Linrong is responsible for the management of the organization’s accounts and funds, and Li Tingjun, as a'housekeeper', is responsible for the internal affairs of the organization."

　　In order to realize the control and management of the organization members, Liu Lijun used methods such as "paying", "recruiting projects", "co-lending", and arranging work for the family members of the organization members, so that members of the organization depend on the underworld organization to obtain benefits.

　　Legal "coat" as cover

　　The early experience of "entering the palace" made Liu Lijun familiar with criminal law policies and successfully wandered the edge of the law for many years.

　　"The more than 30 criminal facts identified were mostly carried out using soft violent methods such as banners, texting intimidation, harassing phone calls, etc. The criminal methods were very confusing." The case handler of the Changchun City Intermediate People's Court of Jilin Province said.

　　The organization used a combination of violence and soft violence to threaten, intimidate, and harass the victims by setting high-value collaterals when collecting arrears, set the price of collateral and repayment deadlines, extortion, seize the collateral and The other property of the victim illegally seized huge assets of the operator.

　　From January 2013 to August 2014, Liu Lijun loaned Wang Huiliang a total of 21.8 million yuan in usury.

As of April 2016, Wang Huiliang had repaid the principal and interest of RMB 26.29 million to Liu Lijun.

However, Liu Lijun still used the victim Wang Huiliang to owe him more than 20 million yuan in principal and interest, and forced Wang Huiliang to use land worth more than 6 million yuan to repay the debt.

Later, Liu Lijun instructed Zhang Hongtao to use false housing sales contracts and housing payment vouchers to force Wang Huiliang to set up eight properties worth more than 14 million yuan in Shuxinjiayuan District, Yushu City, to cover his so-called arrears.

　　Many developers have suffered greatly, but they dare not speak.

If Liu Lijun’s debt repayment plan is not agreed, he will instruct members of the organization to collect debts by blocking office buildings, hanging banners at sales offices, and installing rolling shutters in sales shops, resulting in unsaleable real estate.

　　"The criminal organization relies on a small loan company to obtain the victim’s property through loans, agreed interest, and other legal methods that appear to be private loans. However, in essence, small loans are usury loans and set up high-value collateral. When it can be repaid, the illegal debt collection method is used to forcibly repay the debt at a low price. In these cases, civil and criminal charges are intersected and the legal relationship is complicated, which brings certain difficulties to the investigation and trial of the case." The case handler of the Changchun Intermediate People's Court told reporters.

　　Cover up crimes under the "Umbrella"

　　In March 2017, the Public Security Bureau of Yushu City received a letter from the victims about the criminal forces headed by Liu Lijun and Zhang Hongtao. Li Jianguo, then deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Yushu City, handed the clues to the Serious Case Squadron of the Criminal Investigation Brigade for investigation and processing.

During the investigation, Liu Lijun heard the turmoil and instructed Xu Zhen to bribe Li Jianguo.

Without in-depth investigation, Li Jianguo hastily closed the case, and the criminal act continued.

　　In January 2018, the Yushu City Public Security Bureau detained Li Tingjun and others for criminal purposes. Liu Lijun absconded after learning the news.

Subsequently, Su Jingxiu was instructed to hand over 900,000 yuan to Jin Xin, then Deputy Director of the Procuratorate Management Department of the People's Procuratorate of Yushu City, for "fair affairs."

Later, Jinxin found out and learned that Li Tingjun would be arrested, and returned 900,000 yuan to Su Jingxiu.

　　Liu Lijun and Zhang Hongtao were listed as fugitives online. As the instructor of the escape squadron of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Yushu City Public Security Bureau, Yan Xiaoliang deliberately concealed the hidden clues of Liu Lijun and others, secretly met with Zhang Hongtao and others, and took 5 photos used by Zhang Hongtao. The bearer phone card number was passed to Liu Lijun through an intermediary to help the two establish contact, which seriously hindered the investigation of the case.

　　"Liu Lijun has been entrenched in the local area for many years, has deep roots, attracted and corrupted the staff of state agencies, formed a huge network of relations, provided convenience and illegal protection for illegal and criminal activities, severely disrupted the order of the local real estate industry and financial industry, and caused bad effects. "The investigative officer of the Criminal Police Detachment of the Changchun Public Security Bureau said.

　　Ma Guang, former chairman of the Yushu CPPCC, former executive deputy mayor Zhao Guojun, and former deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau Li Jianguo... At present, the discipline inspection and supervision organs have filed a total of 46 people with “corruption-related umbrella” and negligence of duty, including criminal corruption. Question 8 persons, 14 persons acting as "protective umbrella" questions, 24 persons negligence of duty.
