Original title: Guangdong Zhongshan investigated and dealt with a case of misappropriation of poverty alleviation funds that lasted for 11 years--the eraser wiped away 35.87 million living money

According to the China Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision News, over the years, I have become accustomed to embezzling poverty alleviation funds every month.I thought that the gods didn't know anything, but I didn't expect that the Skynet was full of loopholes, and in the end, it would suffer the consequences of itself.A few days ago, Chen Zhixiang, former head of the Civil Affairs Unit of the Social Affairs Bureau of Ganggang Township, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, and former director of the Nursing Home of Ganggang Township, said regretfully.

In November last year, the first inspection team of the Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee found that there were false claims of civil poverty alleviation funds during the inspection process of Gangkou Town.The investigation team conducts verification.

The investigation team obtained information such as the flow list of civil poverty alleviation funds issued by the Social Affairs Bureau of Ganggang Township over the years, and checked them item by item.Anomalies were found in the disbursement ledger of living allowances—dozens of people with different names used the same bank account number when receiving subsidies.The investigation team traced the facts and screened the project declaration, fund approval, distribution list, bank account and other materials one by one, and found that the same bank account also appeared in the distribution list of other poverty alleviation funds such as urban and rural minimum living allowances, subsidies for the disabled, and the head of the household.Chen Zhixiang.

In the face of ironclad evidence, Chen Zhixiang quickly explained the fact that he embezzled poverty alleviation funds for many years in violation of discipline and law.In November 1997, Chen Zhixiang entered the Social Affairs Office of Ganggang Township as a government contract worker.In January 2007, he stumbled across a loophole in the management of special funds for poverty alleviation: some low-income households and disabled people did not have bank accounts in their names, but the subsidies could only be paid by bank transfer, and they generally used their relatives’ bank accounts to collect subsidies on their behalf.

Chen Zhixiang, who was deeply involved in online gambling, saw an opportunity to make money: before the special funds for poverty alleviation were distributed, he fabricated names and people, and inflated the total amount of special funds for poverty relief.Later, when making the detailed distribution list, in addition to listing the normal recipients of subsidies, the names and amounts of fictitious personnel were also added, and the corresponding receiving accounts were all their own.

In order to cover up the crime, Chen Zhixiang directly used an eraser, correction fluid, etc. to erase the hundreds digits of the embezzled amount on the detailed list of batch collection and payment provided by the bank, keeping only the hundreds digits, and then copied the modifiedSubmit the list to the town finance branch for entry.During the approval process, relevant personnel failed to find problems such as missing or tampered information in the list, and the town's annual audit of special funds did not find Chen Zhixiang's embezzlement of special funds for poverty alleviation.

It is understood that from January 2007 to November 2017, Chen Zhixiang committed a total of 529 crimes and embezzled 35.87 million yuan of 14 special funds for poverty alleviation, including relief for three-no personnel and living allowances for orphans and five-guarantee households.48.56% of the total amount of special funds actually distributed. Just after the first inspection team of the Municipal Party Committee entered the port town in November 2017, Chen Zhixiang still did not restrain himself and continued to embezzle 11 special funds for poverty alleviation totaling 187,000 yuan.

After the incident, the Zhongshan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervisory Committee carried out a double investigation of the case to hold the relevant responsible persons accountable.Disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels in the city have started and looked back at clues on corruption and work style issues in the field of poverty alleviation that have been accepted since 2016.The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision led the establishment of a special rectification working group to carry out a two-month special rectification of corruption and work style issues in the poverty alleviation field in 25 towns and streets in the city. After checking 21,000 relevant certificates, 115 problems were found.
