China officially released 5 typical cases of bribery crimes, involving "multiple bribes and huge bribes"
Beijing, 3 Mar (ZXS) -- Chinese officials announced on 29 March that the General Office of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the General Office of the State Supervision Commission, and the General Office of the Supreme People's Procuratorate recently jointly released five typical cases of bribery crimes.
Some of the five cases released this time were multiple bribes, huge bribes, and bribes paid to multiple people; Some were bribes paid by party members and state functionaries; Some are bribes in key areas such as law enforcement and justice, and production safety; Some carry out major commercial bribery for the purpose of obtaining national mineral resources; Some are trying to evade legal prosecution by offering bribes.
Among them, in the "Chen Moumou bribery, bribery of influential people, bribery of non-state functionaries", Chen Moumou was suspected of organizing and leading underworld organizations, intentional injury and other crimes, and was also suspected of the crime of bribery and bribery of non-state functionaries. In its judgement, the court decided to carry out the death penalty with a two-year reprieve, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property.
In this case, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the State Supervision Commission, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate pointed out that those who intersect bribery crimes with crimes involving criminal syndicates, and help triad organizations form a "protective umbrella" through bribery, must be resolutely severely punished.
The official also released the "Guo Bribery Case" this time. The facts of the case show that in order to seek improper benefits, Guo gave state functionaries property equivalent to a total of 5527.54 million yuan. The court ruled that Guo had committed the crime of bribery, and sentenced Guo to four years and six months in prison because of his circumstances such as turning himself in and making meritorious contributions.
At the same time as the release of this case, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the State Supervision Commission, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate claimed that the bribery parties took advantage of family ties and used relatively covert means such as holding on behalf of the bribe to accept property, which brought great difficulties to the determination of the facts. In view of the characteristics of "family-style" corruption, discipline inspection and supervision organs and procuratorial organs should increase the intensity of investigation and review, focusing on the flow of funds between relatives, property status, affiliated enterprises, etc., comprehensively analyzing the interest chain behind the corruption problem, and digging deep into the power and money trading behavior or problem clues based on family relationships.
Responsible persons of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the State Supervision Commission, and the relevant departments of the Supreme People's Procuratorate stressed that discipline inspection and supervision organs and procuratorial organs at all levels must always adhere to a strict tone, strict measures, and strict atmosphere, and increase the intensity of punishment for bribery crimes while maintaining a high-pressure situation in punishing bribery crimes.
