Notes | Why bother?

I dare not spend the greedy money, I dare not save it, and I am afraid of being stolen or robbed.

  What should I do if I encounter "corrupt internal assistance" concealing her husband's bribery gains and refusing to explain the whereabouts of the illicit money involved in the case?

  In December last year, we encountered such a problem when handling Li's serious violation of discipline and law.

  During the detention period, Li Moumou voluntarily confessed that during his tenure as the director of a certain bureau, he successively handed over the bribes of more than 2 million yuan to his wife for safekeeping.

  "She is a relatively strong person, I don't know where she put the money. She doesn't tell me either." Li Moumou's account of the situation made the whereabouts of the money involved in the case change drastically.

  Earlier, during our visits, we learned that many neighbours and colleagues thought that Li's wife "values ​​money more."

"If you actively return the stolen money and recover all the stolen money and goods in place, you can get a lighter punishment in accordance with the law." The investigation team persuaded.

  "When and where did he give me the money? Don't listen to him talking nonsense." At first, Li's wife refused to admit that she had kept her husband's bribes.

  "According to Article 312 of the Criminal Law, concealment or concealment of criminal proceeds may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, criminal detention or surveillance of up to three years; if the circumstances are serious, the sentence is three to seven years." After the education, Li's wife wavered, but only vaguely said that the money was hidden in a rented room in a certain community.

  The investigation team immediately sent personnel to the place to conduct a search in accordance with the law, but found nothing.

  "Have you considered, if you and your husband are both sentenced for crimes, what about your son who is studying at the university?" The investigator continued to persuade.

Li's wife's tight facial muscles began to loosen, and finally explained in detail the specific place where the stolen money was hidden.

  According to Li's wife's account, the investigation team found that there was a black plastic bag under the bed board of the guest room in Li's home, which contained a bag of more than 300,000 yuan in cash.

Nearly twenty pieces of clothes are hung in the wardrobes of the guest rooms, and each pocket of each piece of clothing hides a varying number of hundred yuan denomination bills, totaling more than 200,000 yuan.

  "Why not deposit the money in the bank?"

  "Afraid of being investigated."

  "Why spread the money in so many pockets?"

  "Separately open, mainly because of fear of being stolen."

  "The deposit bank is afraid of being investigated, and the hiding place is afraid of being stolen. Do you think it makes sense to hold such money?"

  Faced with the investigator’s question, Li’s wife shed tears and said: “I dare not buy a house or a car. I am afraid of being robbed on the road... My motorcycle seat box and trunk still have two packs of hundreds of thousands. Yuan."

  It turned out that when Li's wife learned that her husband was under investigation, she was shocked and frightened.

She was busy putting the money hidden at home in the motorcycle seat box and tail box, and transferred it to other places for hiding.

A colleague in the apartment of a certain community that she explained for the first time knew that she was thinking about it and dared not to hide the money there.

So she hid the money in a room she rented for lunch break near the school where she taught in the city.

When investigators opened the inner layer of the Simmons mattress in that room, they found that it was covered with hundred yuan bills.

After counting, a total of more than 1.9 million yuan.

  In March of this year, Li Moumou was expelled from the party and from public office, and his suspected crime was transferred to the procuratorial organ for review and prosecution in accordance with the law, and the property involved was also transferred.

Li's wife was dealt with lightly in accordance with the law.
