In the first half of the year, a total of 15.15 billion yuan was recovered from 602 people who fled
Chasing fleeing and chasing stolen goods do not relax
On July 28, the website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that Luo Weimin, a "red communication officer" who had fled for 15 years and a suspect in duty crime, returned to China and surrendered his case.
At the beginning of this year, the "Skynet 2021" operation set off.
In the past six months, I have obtained a gratifying report card from the work of chasing and recovering stolen goods.
From January to June, a total of 602 expatriates were recovered, including 164 party members and state officials, and 15.15 billion yuan of stolen money was recovered.
This year is the first year of the implementation of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the start of a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.
Implement the work deployment of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, continue to maintain strength and resilience in the anti-corruption international pursuit of fleeing and recovering stolen goods, overcoming the adverse effects of the continuous spread of overseas epidemics, insisting on chasing all escapes, and pursuing them to the end. Tackling tough individual cases, pushing a group of expatriates to return to the case one after another, and celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party with practical actions and solid results.
Always maintain a high-pressure situation in the pursuit of escaped and stolen stolen goods, and supervise the list of escape cases that have fled in recent years, are at or above the county level, have a large amount of money involved, have bad political influence, and have strong public reaction.
On January 26, 2021, the website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that Qi Baicheng and Tao Yawen, who had fled for 8 years, returned to China to surrender.
Two days ago, the fifth plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection just concluded.
The work report of the plenary session stated that “precisely formulate strategies for the pursuit of escape and stolen stolen goods, and continue to carry out the'Skynet operation'”, to raise the flag for the continuous and in-depth work of escaping and recovering stolen stolen goods.
Qi Bocheng and Tao Yawen, as the first suspects who returned to China to surrender after the Fifth Plenary Session, are undoubtedly powerful footnotes to the continued high pressure in the pursuit of stolen goods.
Qi Bocheng is the former Deputy Director on Duty of the Train Dispatching Office of the Dispatching Station of Harbin Railway Bureau, Heilongjiang Province.
Tao Yawen, former employee of Mudanjiang Railway Cargo Department, is the wife of Qi Bocheng.
The two fled in 2012 on suspicion of accepting bribes.
"The fugitive cases of duty crimes in our province are all old cases with a long time span and few effective clues. They are all hard to crack." said Jiang Hongwei, deputy secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and deputy director of the Supervisory Commission.
In December last year, the Heilongjiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision integrated and optimized resources, designated the Fourteenth Examination and Investigation Office to undertake the daily work of the Provincial Office of Escape Pursuit, and formally added the "Escape Pursuit and Pursuit Room" brand to pursue and prevent escape in the whole province. Work is coordinated.
At the same time, the number of member units of the Provincial Office of Escape Pursuit has increased from 9 to 13, and a mechanism for information sharing, collaboration and linkage, and result feedback has been established.
Setting up a separate room for chasing and recovering stolen goods and changing "single-soldier operations" to "coordinated operations" directly improved the combat effectiveness of chasing and looting stolen goods.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Jiekai, the former party secretary of the General Administration of Land Reclamation, who had absconded for 16 years, was successfully arrested and brought to justice.
"Wu Jiekai's arrest and return has accumulated experience in the Heilongjiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, and demonstrated the determination and ability of the discipline inspection and supervision organs to punish corruption. It has effectively deterred other corrupt elements from fleeing abroad." The person in charge said.
On February 24, the Central Anti-Corruption Coordinating Group's International Office for Fleeing and Recovery of Stolen Assets held a meeting to implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, to study and deploy the anti-corruption international fleeing recovery and recovery work in 2021, and to launch the "Skynet 2021" operation.
This action requires all localities to list and supervise the escape cases that have fled in recent years, at the county level or above, involving large amounts of money, bad political influence, and strong public feedback, and continue to release strong signals that attitudes, determination, and standards will remain unchanged.
One day later, a good news came-Cai Ying, the former director of the Cangshan Housing Management Bureau of Cangshan District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, who had fled for 15 years, returned to China and surrendered the case.
Cai Ying fled in March 2006.
Fuzhou City and Cangshan District's two-level discipline inspection and supervision agencies have frozen their domestic assets involved in the case in accordance with the law, so that Cai Ying has "broken blood" economically.
Under the strong deterrence, returning to China to surrender became Cai Ying's only correct choice.
Requesting the International Criminal Police Organization to issue a "Red Notice" is a typical practice of disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies using rule of law thinking and methods to pursue fugitives.
In recent years, the case-handling agencies have made full use of international rules and domestic laws, in-depth anti-corruption international judicial law enforcement cooperation, and carried out the work of pursuing fugitives and stolen goods in accordance with laws and regulations, forming a powerful legal deterrent.
After Xian Guoliang, the former deputy secretary of the Pengjiang District Party Committee of Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province fled, the special team for chasing and recovering stolen goods after careful and careful analysis and judgment, issued a red notice to him through Interpol, and actively carried out foreign law enforcement cooperation to further block him. Back road.
Domestically, the Jiangmen Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has taken measures to restrict transactions or freeze the real estate, vehicles, accounts, etc. involved in the case, cut off Xian Guoliang's funding supply, and completely shattered his illusion of hiding in a "safe haven".
"Xian Guoliang, as a leading cadre, embezzled people's property for his personal squanderings, tried to use legal packaging to cover up corruption, and fled overseas in fear of crime after the incident, and the impact was bad." said the main person in charge of the Guangdong Province Fleeing Office.
According to the overall arrangement of the "Skynet 2021" operation, from March to December of this year, the Central Office of Fleeing Pursuit has organized the national disciplinary inspection and supervision organs to carry out the 2021 international special operation for the recovery of fleeing and stolen goods for job-related crimes.
Fleeing cases of duty-related crimes, such as Xian Guoliang, which have bad political influence and strong public feedback, are the focus of the special operation.
The Central Office of Fleeing Pursuits dispatched four working groups in March to investigate and supervise key cases of fleeing and recovering stolen goods in relevant provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, realizing full coverage of the supervision and supervision of 40 “hundred red-pass personnel” who have not been brought to justice, further consolidating political responsibilities and coordinating To solve the problems encountered, the upper and lower linkages and cooperation have effectively strengthened the joint force in the pursuit of escaped stolen goods.
On the basis of comprehensively sorting out and accurately grasping the number of escaped persons, all localities have clarified responsibilities for key cases that have been supervised and publicly exposed by the Central Pursuing Office, with dedicated personnel and dedicated teams. A group of key escaped persons have returned to the case one after another and achieved good results. The political, legal and social effects of
In key areas, there are frequent reports of looting and stolen stolen goods. While chasing stolen stolen goods, we will increase efforts to recover stolen goods, and strive to solve the problems of asset search, freezing, confiscation, and return.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection made arrangements for the deepening of the anti-corruption struggle in the new year, and proposed the continuous punishment of corruption in state-owned enterprises.
Increasing efforts to pursue and recover stolen goods in the field of state-owned enterprises has always been the focus of the work of tracing and recovering stolen goods.
After reviewing the results of the work in the first half of this year, the progress made in the field of state-owned enterprises in pursuit of stolen goods and stolen goods has attracted attention.
On January 20, it was announced that Huang Yide, a criminal suspect who had fled from office, returned to China and surrendered.
Huang Yide is the chairman of Hunan Damei Logistics Industry Co., Ltd., suspected of co-corrupting state-owned assets with leaders of state-owned enterprises. He absconded overseas in February 2019. The impact was very bad. He was brought to justice for the discipline inspection and supervision agencies to deepen the anti-corruption of state-owned enterprises and carry out their duties. An important result of the special operation of Criminal International to pursue fugitives and stolen stolen goods.
Although Huang Yide's identity is a private business owner, as long as it involves corruption or suspected duty violations, the disciplinary inspection and supervision organs insist on chasing after they escape.
Corruption and unhealthy practices in the field of people's livelihood directly eat into the vital interests of the people.
All previous plenary sessions of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection have made it an important task to rectify corruption and unhealthy practices around the masses.
The work of chasing and recovering stolen goods has always responded positively to the expectations of the people, and increased efforts to chase and flee corrupt elements in the field of people's livelihood, so that the people have more sense of gain.
Recently, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, a piece of hard bone gnawed by the Fleeing Office is a typical job crime in the field of people's livelihood.
On May 11, Liang Yuemei, who had absconded for 20 years, was arrested and brought to justice in Zhuhai City.
From February 2000 to October 2001, Liang Yuemei took advantage of her position as a cashier of the Xingguang Neighborhood Committee of the Sanbu Sub-district Office in Kaiping City. She was suspected of taking cash from the neighborhood committee’s account and collecting electricity bills from villagers and orphans’ subsidies. Approximately 272,900 yuan was embezzled and fled in October 2001.
In order to overcome the unresolved bottleneck of Liang Yuemei's case, the chasing team members used traditional and new media to widely issue reward announcements to fully mobilize and rely on the masses.
A clue provided by a user of a new media platform under the pseudonym "Huang Jing" brought a turning point for the breakthrough of the case.
At the same time, the investigators relied on scientific and technological means to carry out detailed investigations. After discovering Liang Yuemei's activities, the Kaiping Commission for Discipline Inspection and the public security organs took decisive measures and successfully captured Liang Yuemei in a rented house in Zhuhai.
After the Supervision Law was promulgated and implemented, it is not uncommon for village cadres who are not party members to accept supervision and investigations.
These newly-added surveillance objects have all been included in the scope of tracing and recovering stolen goods, realizing full coverage and no dead ends.
On June 28, Feng Dewen, the former director of the Yuetang Village Committee, Shaping Street, Heshan City, Guangdong Province, returned to China for the case.
On September 12, 2018, Heshan City Public Security Bureau filed a case for investigation; on September 18, 2018, Feng Dewen was listed as a fugitive online.
Because Feng Dewen is the subject of supervision, he was listed as the target of escape from the disciplinary inspection and supervision agency at the end of 2018.
This year is the “year of stolen stolen goods recovery”. The stolen stolen recovery departments at all levels have increased their efforts to recover stolen stolen assets while pursuing escaped stolen assets, and strive to solve the problems of asset search, freezing, confiscation, and return.
The escape team made full use of big data platforms to collect and investigate Feng Dewen’s name and actual control of assets. Before Feng Dewen was transferred, the funds involved in the case were about 38.21 million yuan and the properties of 12 shops were frozen and sealed, so that they could not enjoy the stolen money. "Dividends" can restore the country's losses to the greatest extent.
After the hard work of the investigators, the case has recovered 20 million yuan of stolen money, and Feng Dewen voluntarily returned the remaining stolen money of 58.19 million yuan.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection clearly stated that it is necessary to intensify the crackdown on corruption-related money laundering.
Corruption crimes are closely related to money laundering crimes. Some corrupt elements handle affairs within the country, collect money outside the country, and some transfer the stolen money abroad through underground banks, in an attempt to conceal the truth.
Continuous crackdowns and severe punishments on corruption-related money laundering will increase the cost of illegal economic gains for corrupt elements and form a powerful deterrent.
In December 2020, the Criminal Law Amendment (11) amended the relevant provisions of money laundering crimes, providing a powerful legal weapon for combating corruption-related money laundering crimes.
On April 22, Qiu Tangshan, a person involved in duty crimes, returned to China and became a typical case of corruption and money laundering criminal suspects recovered this year.
On August 2, 2019, the Supervisory Committee of Binhu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, during an investigation into a suspected corruption and bribery case of a leading cadre of a state-owned enterprise, found that Qiu Tangshan helped the leading cadre to conceal and conceal more than 10 million yuan obtained through corruption and bribery. Yuan stolen money, suspected of money laundering crime, handed over relevant clues to the public security organs.
"Although Qiu Tangshan is not a party member and cadre and the subject of supervision, he helped corrupt elements conceal their criminal proceeds, and the transfer and laundering of illicit funds opened the door to corruption, and the social impact was extremely bad." Ge Xifang said.
In recent years, the "Skynet Operation" has continued to increase its crackdown on corruption-related money laundering crimes, accurately cracking down on the interweaving problems between domestic transactions and overseas cash-outs, so that illicit money cannot be "concealed or transferred out" in China, and "found and cannot be transferred out" abroad. Get it back".
According to the unified deployment of the "Skynet 2021" operation, the People's Bank of China, in conjunction with the Ministry of Public Security, has launched a special operation to prevent and combat the use of offshore companies and underground banks to transfer illicit funds overseas. It not only continues to combat money laundering through underground banks, but also attaches importance to combating the passage of money in recent years. Money laundering by means of virtual currency.
"The magic is one foot high, and the road is high." Through precise planning and cracking down on money laundering channels, the amount of money recovered in the first half of this year has jumped sharply year-on-year, reaching 15.15 billion yuan, which has effectively safeguarded the interests of the country and the people.
Insist on taking bribes and investigating them together. Last year, a total of 129 fleeing bribers were recovered, of which the longest fleeing period was 19 years.
On June 11, Guan Zhilong, a duty crime suspect who had fled abroad for nearly 6 years, voluntarily returned to China and surrendered.
It is worth noting that Guan Zhilong was a former member of the Work Safety Supervision Bureau in Jiujiang Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province. He fled in July 2015 on suspicion of bribery.
Guan Zhilong was not the only briber recovered by the "Skynet 2021" operation.
From the post-criminal suspects Liang Zuofa, Zhou Zhijun, and Zhang Jiping who were suspected of bribery to state-owned enterprise leaders, to the case of returning to China to surrender to Yu Fangfei, who paid bribes to public officials, surrendered. The point of "checking and chasing bribes together" has become clearer.
Statistics show that from January to December 2020, disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies across the country recovered a total of 129 fleeing bribers. Among them, the longest fleeing period was 19 years, and 97 bribers were recovered in the year of fleeing, accounting for the recovery of fleeing bribes. 75.2% of the total number of people.
Bribery provides a breeding ground for corruption.
"Insist on investigating and pursuing bribery and bribery together, so that the law has the same deterrent effect on both bribery and bribery, so that lucky violators can recognize the situation, so that bribers will not dare to cross the thunder pond half a step." According to the person in charge of the office, cracking down on bribery is also an important work to improve the evidence chain of bribery cases, which will help bring the "all links" of corruption crimes into the scope of severe punishment, promote both symptoms and root causes, and maintain the authority of the rule of law.
Most of the bribes who flee from abroad are the “foots” exposed by the investigation of corruption cases of office staff. Following this clue, key evidence can often be identified.
For example, in the early stage, due to the lack of direct evidence of violations and crimes, the supervisory agency was unable to take relevant legal measures against Guan Zhilong.
When screening Guan Zhilong's social relations, the special team found that Guan Zhilong's escape time was highly consistent with the time when Feng Yongkang, the former deputy head of Nanhai District, was investigated.
After investigation and verification, the escape team obtained key evidence that Guan Zhilong was suspected of bribing Feng Yongkang, and the Nanhai District Commission for Discipline Inspection initiated an investigation on Guan Zhilong.
A more common situation is that bribers are important persons involved in corruption cases of public officials. The pursuit of fleeing bribers abroad will help promote the investigation and investigation of domestic corruption cases and serve the overall situation of anti-corruption work.
Earlier, the People’s Procuratorate of Baoding City, Hebei Province, in the process of handling the project of Yan Fulong, general manager of State Grid Liaoning Electric Power Co., Ltd., found that Liang Zuofa, general manager of Liaoning Antai Electric Power Co., Ltd. thanked Yan Fulong for helping his company obtain relevant projects. Bribe it.
The Gaobeidian People's Procuratorate of Baoding City filed a case for investigation of Liang Zuofa's crime of bribery by a unit and found that Liang Zuofa had fled.
The case-handling agency continued to promote Liang Zuofa's pursuit of escape and stolen goods, and eventually prompted him to return to China to surrender the case and actively cooperate with the investigation.
Liang Zuofa illegally obtained engineering projects by bribing leaders of state-owned enterprises. This is a typical corruption of power and money transactions in state-owned enterprises. Retrieving them and thoroughly investigating them is the actual result of implementing the requirements of bribery and bribery.
Bribery and bribery, hunting and hunting are like twin "brothers" that seriously endanger the interests of the party, the country, and the people.
"We will resolutely implement the deployment of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, actively apply international rules, and carry out in-depth international judicial law enforcement cooperation, and always maintain a high-pressure posture, and will never allow any escaped personnel to go unpunished." said the relevant person in charge of the Central Office of Evasion and Evasion. Criminal suspects should not be lucky, and surrender as soon as possible and strive for leniency is the only correct choice."
