There may be one more fallen tiger who took hundreds of millions of bribes.

On June 12, the Tianjin No. 2 Intermediate People's Court heard the bribery case of Yang Chongyong, the former deputy director of the Hebei Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee.Yang Chongyong was accused of accepting a total of more than 206 million yuan in property.

If the accusation is established, Yang Chongyong's bribery amount will rank second among fallen provincial and ministerial officials, second only to Bai Enpei.

Here we are talking about the amount of bribery. Some sacked tigers involved in the case with an amount of more than 100 million are not only guilty of accepting bribes, but also have the crime of unidentified sources of huge amounts of property. Sometimes the amount of bribes ascertained does not exceed 100 million.For example, Zhu Mingguo, the former chairman of the CPPCC Guangdong Provincial Committee, received more than 141 million yuan in bribes, and the source of another 91.04 million yuan cannot be explained.

Accused of accepting 206 million bribes in 8 years, the Second Branch of the Tianjin People's Procuratorate prosecuted and charged:

From 2008 to 2016, the defendant Yang Chongyong took advantage of his position as a member of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and the vice governor of the Hebei Provincial People's Government, as well as the convenient conditions formed by his powers and status, to handle the construction of enterprise projects and land use indicators for relevant units and individuals., company establishment approval and other matters, and directly or through specific related parties solicited and illegally accepted property from others, totaling more than 206 million yuan.

According to the prosecution charges of the procuratorate, from 2008 to 2016, Yang Chongyong took bribes and properties totaling more than 206 million yuan.In other words, it took Yang Chongyong only 8 years to steal more than 200 million yuan, an average of 25.75 million a year.Previously, I had calculated how long it would take for a fallen tiger to earn 100 million yuan. Bai Enpei, who ranked first, took 246.7 million bribes in 13 years, averaging about 19 million a year. At this rate, it would take more than 5 years to collect 100 million yuan.

If Yang Chongyong's accusation is finally established, he will become the official with the largest annual wealth accumulation. If calculated at an average annual wealth accumulation rate of 25.75 million yuan, it will take less than 4 years to earn 100 million yuan, and he will break Bai Enpei's record.

Two positions make hundreds of millions of money

Not only that, but Yang Chongyong is also one of the fewest officials involved in the case among officials who have collected hundreds of millions of dollars.He made money mainly in two positions: Member of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and Vice Governor of the Hebei Provincial People's Government.

According to the allegations, he took advantage of his position as a member of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and the vice governor of the Hebei Provincial People's Government, as well as the conditions of his authority and status, to assist relevant units and individuals in the construction of enterprise projects, the handling of land use indicators, and the approval of company establishment, etc.Help with matters.

The same amount of more than 200 million yuan was embezzled, and Bai Enpei was hired in three positions.According to the prosecution's allegations, Bai Enpei took advantage of his positions as secretary of the Qinghai Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, and vice chairman of the National People's Congress Environment and Resources Protection Committee to seek benefits for others and use this to amass money.

Among the help provided by Yang Chongyong, the land use index management has a high gold content.

Among the vice-governors who were sacked before, Ni Fake, the former vice-governor of Anhui Province, in order to help his boss get the land use indicators, let go of the airs of the vice-governor, went with him in the environmental impact assessment and project approval procedures, and embezzled state resources for the company actually controlled by the businessman Ji Lichang.The land quota for affordable housing has been issued to help it purchase iron ore prospecting rights at low prices.In addition to Ji Lichang, Ni Fake also abused power for their company's real estate development and other projects after accepting bribes from other bosses.

You start collecting money when you leave your hometown

Yang Chongyong started collecting money after he left his hometown.In December 2007, he left Yunnan, where he had worked for 23 years, and went north to work in Hebei.Not long after arriving in Hebei, in 2008, Yang Chongyong began to collect money.

From Yunnan to Hebei is a major change in Yang Chongyong's official career.He was born in Kunming, Yunnan. After graduating from Yunnan University, he was promoted from a cadre in a district in Yiliang County, Kunming City, to a member of the Standing Committee of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee. He was only 45 years old at the time.However, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he worked for 15 years, 7 years in Yunnan, and 8 years in Hebei, until he reached the age of 60—the retirement age for deputy provincial cadres.

During his tenure as a member of the Standing Committee of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, he served concurrently as Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee and served as Secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee Bai Enpei.As mentioned earlier, the Secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee is one of Bai Enpei's money-making positions.The anti-corruption feature film of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection revealed two real estate development projects that Bai Enpei received money for, and the cash and gifts sent by the developer of one project were worth tens of millions.

After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, many officials were dismissed from office in Hebei.Before Yang Chongyong, there were Zhou Benshun (former Secretary of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee), Liang Bin (former Organization Director of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee), Jing Chunhua (former Secretary-General of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee), and Zhang Yue (former Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee).

After him, there is Zhang Jiehui (former vice governor of Hebei Province).

Among the tigers who fell before Yang Chongyong, only Zhang Yue has not yet been sentenced.On April 20, 2017, the first instance of Zhang Yue's bribery case was accused by the procuratorate of accepting property equivalent to 157.885012 billion yuan. After the trial, the court decided to choose a date for sentencing.Among the sacked officials in Hebei Province, Jing Chunhua was involved in the case of more than 100 million yuan. He took bribes of more than 60.54 million yuan, and the source of more than 86.35 million yuan of property was unknown. The amount involved in the case was about 150 million yuan.
