(A list of some "tigers" tried since this year, "—" means that it has not been announced yet)
According to reporters' statistics, since this year, at least 14 "tigers" have entered the "defendant dock" and 9 have been sentenced. Among them, Xing Yun, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People's Congress, was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve. After his two-year reprieve was reduced to life imprisonment according to law, he would be sentenced to life imprisonment and shall not be reduced or parole. Nur Bekli, former deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and former director of the National Energy Administration, Pu Bo, former vice governor of Guizhou Province, and Zeng Zhiquan, former member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Minister of the United Front Work Department, were all sentenced to life imprisonment.
Judging from the suspected crimes, all the "tigers" on trial this year are involved in the crime of accepting bribes. Among them, the one with the lowest amount of bribes involved was Miao Ruilin, former vice governor of Jiangsu Province, totaling more than RMB 7.2 million; three people involved in bribes involving over 100 million were Chen Gang, Zeng Zhiquan and Xing Yun, former party group members of the China Association for Science and Technology, respectively, involving more than RMB 120 million, more than RMB 140 million and more than RMB 449 million.
In addition, Bai Xiangqun, former vice chairman of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and Wu Zhen, former deputy director of the State Food and Drug Administration, also involved other crimes.
On January 31, 2019, the Dalian Intermediate People's Court of Liaoning Province held a public trial in the first instance of Bai Xiangqun's case of bribery, embezzlement, insider trading, and leaking insider information. " insider trading crime " has attracted much attention.
The procuratorate filed a lawsuit for allegation that Bai Xiangqun illegally obtained insider information from persons familiar with the insider information, and instructed others to buy the above stocks during the sensitive period of insider information. The cumulative transaction amount was more than RMB 42.56 million and the illegal profit was more than RMB 17.17 million.
According to statistics, since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, at least "5 tigers" have been involved in insider trading. Except for Bai Xiangqun, the other four are Yao Gang, former vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Chen Shulong, former member of the Standing Committee of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee and former vice governor, Zhou Chunyu, former vice governor of Anhui Province, and Wang Xiaoguang, former vice governor of Guizhou Province. Among them, Wang Xiaoguang's illegal cumulative transaction amount hit a record, with a total transaction amount of more than RMB 490 million; Zhou Chunyu's illegal profit amount reached the largest, with a total of more than RMB 350 million.
Unlike Bai Xiangqun’s suspected crimes, the public’s focus on the Wu Zhen case is on the expression of “submission” and “attempted bribery”, which is rare among the “tigers” tried this year.
On the morning of November 15, 2019, the first instance verdict of the Wu Zhen case was announced. The court held that the defendant Wu Zhen's behavior constituted the crime of accepting bribes and abuse of power. Given that Wu Zhen's bribery of 12.2 million yuan was an attempt; after being arrested, he was able to truthfully confess his crime and actively confessed the crime of accepting bribes and some crimes of abuse of power that the case handler had not yet grasped, his crime of accepting bribes constituted surrender.
In this regard, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission has published an article to "popularize" online for netizens "What is "attempted to accept bribes" -
If the perpetrator uses his position to demand property from others or illegally accept property from others to seek benefits for others, but fails to actually control or obtain property due to reasons other than his will, it constitutes an attempt to accept bribes. For example, after the briber sends out the bank card, he withdraws the deposit or blocks the briber from withdrawing or consumption by reporting losses, and the part that the briber fails to withdraw or consume due to the failure to take out or consume is considered as the attempted bribery; the briber and the briber agree to pay the bribe in batches, but the bribe has not been paid in full, and the case has been reported. The part of the bribe that has not yet been cashed should be considered as attempted bribes; if the perpetrator refuses by the other party in the case of bribery, it also constitutes attempted bribes; etc.
At least 16 "tigers" who were dismissed in previous years were sentenced this year. Many people surrendered themselves.
(a list of some "tigers" who were dismissed in previous years were dismissed in previous years)
Lu Wei, Wang Sanyun, Ai Wenli, Zhang Huawei... Among the information on the "tigers" case published in 2019, at least 16 "tigers" who were dismissed in previous years were sentenced in first instance.
Judging from the suspected crimes, 8 people are "punished with multiple crimes". Among them, the suspected "election-sabotage crime" by Liu Qiang, former vice governor of Liaoning Province, has attracted attention.
Article 256 of the Criminal Law of my country stipulates the crime of undermining the election: "When electing representatives of the People's Congress and leaders of state organs at all levels, they use violence, threats, deception, bribery, forging election documents, false reporting of election votes, etc. to destroy the election or obstruct voters and representatives from the free exercise of their right to vote and their right to be elected. If the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, detention or deprivation of political rights."
According to public reports, the court found that from 2011 to January 2013, Liu Qiang was elected as the vice governor of the Liaoning Provincial People's Government, and used his powers and influence to serve as the secretary of the Fushun Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and used the methods of giving money and greetings to others to conduct canvassing votes and bribery, destroying normal election activities. The circumstances are serious and the social impact is bad.
In addition, among the "tigers" who were dismissed in previous years this year, Aiwenli is also eye-catching.
On October 16, 2018, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission announced the punishment decision to expel Ai Wenli, former deputy secretary of the Party Group and vice chairman of the Hebei Provincial CPPCC.
At the scene of the announcement of the punishment, Ai Wenli admitted to the camera, "I know that it was caused by myself when I came to this point. I took the initiative to surrender to the organization. I admit my mistakes and regret it. I am willing to be a negative textbook for warning education, and use my own personal statement to warn others and educate myself. I also want to call on comrades who have problems like me to stop being lucky and quickly surrender to the organization."
On April 18 this year, the first instance verdict of Ai Wenli, former vice chairman of the Hebei Provincial CPPCC, was pronounced. The court held that the defendant Ai Wenli's behavior constituted the crime of accepting bribes and the amount was particularly huge and should be punished according to law. In view of the fact that Ai Wenli took the stolen money and goods to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission for surrender before the incident, and truthfully confessed his crimes, which constituted surrender; sincerely confessed and repented to avoid and reduce the occurrence of damage results; actively and proactively returned all stolen money and goods, with the statutory, discretionary circumstances for ease and mitigation of punishment, and the punishment may be reduced according to law.
It is understood that the Ai Wenli case has created many "firsts" - this case is the first case of taking stolen money and goods to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission since the implementation of the Supervision Law of the People's Republic of China, and it is also the first case of duty crimes of former provincial and ministerial-level leading cadres who were tried after the revision of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China.
In addition, in the relevant notice issued by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission, the Ai Wenli case used the expression "proposing suggestions for mitigating punishment" for the first time. The procuratorate's sentencing recommendations also put forward opinions on mitigating punishment for Ai Wenli. In response, the official notice stated that the People's Court's legal judgment on Ai Wenli has a strong deterrence and demonstration effect on corrupt elements.
In addition to Ai Wenli, among the "tigers" who were dismissed in previous years this year, there are Wang Sanyun, former deputy chairman of the Education, Science, Culture and Health Committee of the National People's Congress, Zhou Chunyu, former vice governor of Anhui Province, and Qiu Daming, former deputy secretary of the Jilin Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and former deputy director of the Provincial Supervisory Commission, including at least three others, surrendered. According to public information, Wang Sanyun took the initiative to confess the facts of bribery that the case handler did not have, which was surrendered; after Zhou Chunyu was arrested, he truthfully confessed his crimes and actively confessed the facts of bribery and abuse of power that the case handler did not have, and his crime of bribery and abuse of power constituted surrender; Qiu Daming took the initiative to confess the facts of corruption that the case handler had not yet had, and the crime of corruption that the case handler committed was surrender.
