On the last day of June 2018, on the 30th, Tong Mingqian, the former vice-chairman of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, served his sentence and became the first tiger to walk out of Qincheng Prison among provincial and ministerial officials who were sacked after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
In March of this year, the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court issued a public announcement: the penalty enforcement agency Qincheng Prison believed that Tong Mingqian could plead guilty, repent, abide by laws and regulations and prison rules, obey management, and actively reform during his sentence and reform period.In 2009, he was rewarded as a prison reform activist, and it was suggested that his sentence be reduced by six months.
On June 11, the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court announced Tong Mingqian's criminal dereliction of duty and commutation criminal ruling, which showed that: The Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court believed that Tong Mingqian had pleaded guilty, conscientiously abided by laws, regulations and prison regulations, and accepted education and reform during his sentence and reformation period.If there is indeed an expression of repentance, the sentence can be reduced.
However, in view of the fact that he is a duty-related criminal, the extent of his sentence reduction should be strictly controlled.In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, it was ruled that Tong Mingqian's sentence should be commuted by 6 months.
Unlike other provincial and ministerial tigers who fell after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Tong Mingqian was special. He was sentenced for dereliction of duty in the Hengyang election bribery case, and his crime did not involve corruption.
As we all know, the Hengyang election bribery case that occurred at the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013 was a typical case of canvassing and bribery during the election period, which once aroused the anger of the central leadership.
At the third plenary session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the leader of the general secretary was furious over the Hengyang electoral bribery case. He talked about the case at length, linking it with the party building and the state governance system, and questioning the Hengyang Communist Party membersWhere did he go? At that time, he repeatedly asked where did the six go.
After the Hengyang election bribery case was exposed, Tong Mingqian surrendered to the relevant department on December 6, 2013, and went to trial in July 2014.
Prosecutors charged: From December 2012 to February 2013, served as secretary of the Hengyang Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, Hunan Province, leader of the leading group for the reelection of Hengyang City, provisional party secretary of the first meeting of the 14th People's Congress of Hengyang City and the General AssemblyDuring the period of the executive chairman of the bureau, as the first person responsible for the discipline of the new term, before the election of the twelfth Hunan Provincial People's Congress in Hengyang City, he received several people's feedback on the problem of sending money to the candidates for the Provincial People's Congress.They did not take effective measures to conduct in-depth inspections, did not strictly investigate and deal with discipline and law, and did not promptly and effectively stop the spread of canvassing and bribery, resulting in serious election bribery in the provincial people's congress election.
Prosecutors said: After the election of the Provincial People's Congress, Tong Mingqian received Oumou's text messages to send money to solicit votes again after he lost the election, and Chen, the deputy secretary of the Hengyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, reported on the bribery issue, and only took measures to appease the defeated representatives, etc.Improper measures have not been investigated and dealt with quickly and strictly in accordance with disciplines and laws, resulting in serious election bribery not being investigated and dealt with in a timely manner.
In August 2014, the Beijing No. 2 Intermediate Court sentenced Tong Mingqian to five years in prison for the crime of dereliction of duty.The verdict stated: Tong Mingqian was seriously irresponsible and did not perform his duties correctly, resulting in the widespread spread of bribery in the provincial people's congress election, causing particularly heavy losses to the interests of the country and the people, and causing extremely bad influence in society.The crime of dereliction of duty, and the circumstances are particularly serious, should be punished according to law.
According to the public resume, Tong Mingqian was born in June 1958 and is just over 60 years old. He is from Changsha, Hunan, and has a postgraduate degree from the Central Party School.In the early days of his official career, he worked as a porter in the workshop at the 852 Farm in Heilongjiang, and as a workshop education officer and deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee in the lining of the Lianyuan Iron and Steel Plant in Hunan Province.He joined the Communist Youth League system in 1984, and served successively as deputy secretary of the Loudi Prefectural Committee of the Communist Youth League of Hunan Province and director of the Propaganda Department of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League. In 1993, he served as deputy secretary of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League.
In 1997, Tong Mingqian left the Communist Youth League and was transferred to the head of the Organization Department of the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture Committee, and later served as the secretary of the state party committee.Since 2008, he has served as Secretary of the Shaoyang Municipal Party Committee in Hunan Province for four years. In 2012, he came to Hengyang to serve as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.In January 2013, he served as the vice chairman of the Hunan Provincial Political Consultative Conference and became a provincial and ministerial official. He was sacked at the end of the same year.
Most provincial and ministerial-level fallen officials were detained in Qincheng Prison. According to official public information, many fallen officials serving sentences in Qincheng have had their sentences commuted:
