At the recently held National Customs Work Conference on Comprehensively Strictly Governing the Party, a warning educational film titled "How Can the Guards of the Country Allow Violations of Discipline and Law" analyzed the cases of violations of discipline and law by Li Lanxue, the former Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Head of the Haikou Customs, and others. , which caused strong repercussions among the cadres of the customs system.
In June last year, Li Lanxue was investigated on suspicion of serious violations of discipline and law.
Previously, Wu Duojun, the former deputy inspector of Haikou Customs, and Wang Yudong, the head of Yecheng Customs affiliated to Haikou Customs, were successively sacked.
The investigation and punishment of this series of corruption cases is inseparable from the use of the advantages of the joint case-handling of the "office group".
Under the guidance of the Third Supervision and Inspection Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision and Inspection Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the General Administration of Customs and the Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision set up a joint task force to focus on corruption issues such as dereliction of duty and indulgence of smuggling, and insist on handling cases. , rectification, and governance are integrated into one, and the effect of treating both the symptoms and the symptoms is continuously released.
The "Room Formation" linkage promotes "one case and two investigations" of anti-smuggling and anti-corruption, and accurately escorts the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port
In the southeast of Sanya city center in Hainan Province, the Sanya Port at the foot of Luhuitou Mountain is busy with freight.
In March 2021, when the task force was investigating Wang Yudong's violation of discipline and law, an old smuggling case that happened here re-entered the field of vision of the case handlers of the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team of the General Administration of Customs.
On December 24, 2008, the Sanya Coast Guard Detachment seized more than 300 tons of smuggled solid waste on a cargo ship that entered Sanya Port from abroad, and found that the cargo ship was suspected of tax evasion of more than 3 million yuan.
It is worth noting that before the smuggling cargo ship was seized, 8 smuggling cargo ships had successfully passed the customs and entered the country. For this serious smuggling case involving internal and external collusion, the Haikou Customs Party Group in the end only dealt with the cases involved. Several internal disciplinary personnel did not dig further.
"At that time, Sanya Customs did not have many customs declarations every day. The customs officers were fully qualified to inspect each cargo ship carefully, but the problem was not detected until the ninth cargo ship. We suspect that there may be serious corruption behind it." A detail aroused the high vigilance of the task force.
After investigation, Wang Yudong took advantage of his position to instruct his subordinates to relax the random inspection of the smuggled goods of the two Guangdong businessmen. When he learned that the Sanya Coast Guard Detachment was about to investigate and deal with the ninth smuggling cargo ship, he tipped off and tried to help the two evade investigation.
After the smuggling case, Wang Yudong failed to perform his duties of investigating and reporting because he was worried that he indulged in smuggling and accepted bribes. When dealing with the internal disciplinary offenders involved, Li Lanxue, then the head of Haikou Customs, had a high-handed attitude and Cover up connivance and other disciplinary issues.
Under the linkage mechanism of "room formation", the task force restarted the investigation of the entire chain of this dusty smuggling case, and simultaneously promoted anti-smuggling and anti-corruption, and exerted the strong deterrence of "double investigation in one case".
According to reports, the task force has visited anti-smuggling departments, procuratorates, courts and other units successively, and initially grasped the suspected illegal and criminal issues such as indulgence of smuggling, serious crimes, and omission of people, involving customs, procuratorates, and courts. and many other public officials.
The Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team stationed in the department immediately coordinated the Anti-Smuggling Bureau of the General Administration of Customs to form a special anti-smuggling work class to re-investigate the original "12.24" smuggling crime; Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision urged the original trial court to investigate the "12.24" smuggling crime on the spot. The criminal suspect who was wrongly convicted in the original case has been retrialed. At present, the key smuggling elements in the case have been wiped out, and the relevant public officials have been taken to lien measures.
"Customs supervision plays an important role in serving the construction of a domestic and international dual-circulation pattern. With the cooperation and cooperation of the 'room organization', focusing on the overall situation of the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, thoroughly investigate the black sheep of the customs system, and eliminate hidden risks in the supervision of the country. It is of great practical significance to accurately escort the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port." said the relevant person in charge of the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team of the General Administration of Customs.
Taking the joint task force as a platform, give full play to the respective advantages of the room, group, and place to form a powerful joint force
In more than two months, the task force has also uncovered many clues about violations of discipline and law in the customs field, such as the use of power for personal gain, negligence of duty, etc.
The resident discipline inspection and supervision team and the relevant responsible persons of the Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision both said that the key to efficient and high-quality case handling is to give full play to the respective advantages of the "room organization" and form a powerful joint force.
"The Third Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission provided authoritative guarantees and directional guidance for the investigation and handling of the case." The investigators introduced that, for example, in the investigation and evidence collection of Li Lanxue's foreign spouse, the Third Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on policies, procedures, management authority, etc. Provide guidance and coordination.
"Whenever encountering key nodes and sensitive issues such as important information collection, key evidence breakthroughs, and case facts research and judgment in the progress of the case, the case-handling personnel will promptly ask for instructions and reports, set the direction of the case handling, and ensure compliance with laws and regulations, prudence and stability."
The stationed discipline inspection and supervision team has the advantages of being familiar with customs business policies, risk points of power operation, and the situation of cadres in the system. Coordinate with the internal units of the customs system to strengthen cooperation and improve the efficiency of case handling.
The case handler said, "During the case handling at that time, we found that a person involved in border prosecution was about to leave the country at Gongbei Port in Zhuhai, and we urgently contacted Gongbei Customs to coordinate the border inspection to detain him, which gained valuable window time for the lien."
As a territorial discipline inspection and supervision agency, the Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has rich experience in reviewing and investigating measures and handling cases.
According to the provisions of the Supervision Law and the Criminal Procedure Law, the local commissions for discipline inspection and supervision, in accordance with the cadre management authority combined with the provisions of regional jurisdiction, connect with the corresponding judicial organs, which is conducive to cooperating with the implementation of investigation measures and converting the results of previous inspections into review and investigation evidence.
According to the case handlers, the local commissions for discipline inspection and supervision give full play to the advantages of "playing at home" and focus on breaking through the problem of illegal crimes.
For example, after the preliminary examination of Wu Duojun was completed, the Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision closely followed up, so that some important investigation measures were "implemented", and important personnel involved in the case were quickly brought to the case, and the case quickly made significant progress.
The establishment of the joint task force allows the three parties to integrate and collaborate efficiently.
The resident discipline inspection and supervision team and the Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision have selected business backbones to form a mixed formation of internal audit and external inspection, communicate face-to-face on a case-by-case basis, and formulate strategies based on people and events, forming the effect of "1+1>2".
The investigators told reporters that in each conversation, the two sides of the "organization" alternately exerted efforts to seize the key points and make breakthroughs one by one; each time the detention measures were taken, they paid attention to the division of labor and cooperation, strictly grasped the conditions and timing of the detention, and ensured that the detention measures were used prudently and accurately.
The joint task force set up a temporary joint party branch, adhered to political leadership, realized that one's heart is in one place, one's strength is in one place, and the review and investigation work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Simultaneously planned to promote reform with cases, 23 customs officials voluntarily surrendered, and extended the effective mechanism in joint case handling to daily supervision
After the case was settled, the joint task force was not "disbanded" on the spot.
Aiming at the regularity and common problems in the operation of customs powers exposed by the case, under the joint case-handling system mechanism of "organization and locality", the case was simultaneously planned to promote reforms, and to deepen and implement the "second half of the article".
In order to realize the effect of investigating and handling one case and governing one area, the disciplinary inspection and supervision team stationed in the department combined with the serious corruption cases investigated and handled since the reform of the discipline inspection and supervision system of vertical management units, filmed a special warning education film, and promoted the relevant units to carry out in-depth problem rectification and self-regulation. Check yourself.
Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision sent staff to participate in the warning education conference held by Haikou Customs, and conducted classroom education on clean government for Haikou Customs personnel.
After the incident, 23 officials from Haikou Customs voluntarily surrendered.
"During the investigation and handling of the case, it was found that the power of the Customs is clearly deteriorating, and the rent-seeking risks of front-line law enforcement powers cannot be ignored. Li Lanxue, Wang Yudong and others all have experience in serving as the head of the Customs, reflecting the urgent need to strengthen the supervision of the 'top leaders' of grassroots units. In this regard, the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team stationed in the department has thoroughly sorted out the cases of violations of discipline and law by the "top leaders" of the customs system since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and formed a special analysis report to report to the Party Committee of the General Administration of Customs, proposing to further strengthen the "top leaders". And the five aspects of opinions and suggestions supervised by the leadership team to promote the implementation of the top-level design and system construction of the "two responsibilities" of the customs system.
How to normalize and extend the effective mechanism formed in joint case handling to daily supervision has also become a common problem for both parties handling the case.
"With the help of the big data advantages of local disciplinary commissions and supervision commissions in real estate, industry and commerce, taxation, etc., the stationed discipline inspection and supervision team and customs discipline inspection agency can obtain convenient support for important data inquiry, evidence material retrieval, etc. The advantages of the agency's 'residence' and the characteristics of many customs units, long lines, and wide areas provide corresponding support for local commissions for discipline inspection and supervision in aspects such as entry-exit management, import and export business data query, etc., and the mutual assistance and exchange of data applications has become the norm. ' said the investigator.
The relevant person in charge of the Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision believes that the joint case-handling system mechanism of "room organization" should be a long-term system. Through this mechanism, the two parties will strengthen communication and coordination in the transfer of clues, case jurisdiction, study and training, etc., while absorbing business The backbone, participating in each other's project work, and substituting for training, can not only improve the case handling capabilities of the stationed personnel, but also broaden the horizons of local review and investigators.
"The joint case handling model of 'organization and locality' implements the concept and requirements of the reform of the discipline inspection and supervision system, and gives full play to the organizational advantages of the discipline inspection and supervision organs and the systematic advantages of the customs supervision system. At present, it has been deeply applied to clue transfer, case jurisdiction and review. Investigation, supervision and inspection, case-based governance, learning and training and other fields are conducive to the formation of joint supervision and discipline enforcement, and promote the high-quality development of discipline inspection and supervision work.
