It is learned from authoritative sources that Li Yilong, the former Secretary of the Hengyang Municipal Party Committee in Hunan, appealed after the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, and the Hunan High Court recently upheld the original verdict in the second instance.

On December 5, 2017, Li Yilong, the former Secretary of the Hengyang Municipal Party Committee, was openly heard in the Loudi Intermediate People's Court of Hunan Province in the case of bribery, embezzlement, abuse of power, and huge amount of property with unknown sources.Data map of the official WeChat public account of Hunan High Court

Previously, on January 15, 2018, Li Yilong was sentenced to 18 years in prison by the Hunan Loudi Intermediate Court for four crimes of accepting bribes, embezzlement, abuse of power, and unidentified sources of huge amounts of property.The court found that Li Yilong accepted bribes of more than 9.26 million yuan, embezzled more than 1.42 million yuan, and had properties of more than 49.5 million yuan that could not be explained.

Behind the huge amount of money involved is the shock of public opinion caused by the case when it was investigated.Li Yilong, who was transferred to Hengyang Municipal Party Committee Secretary after the Hengyang election bribery case, only served for three years. In April 2016, this leading cadre, who was known as a domineering and capable official, fell from his post.

During the judicial process that lasted more than two years, The Paper reported through multiple channels and related public legal documents and media reports. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 40 officials involved in the Li Yilong case.Money, more than 100,000 yuan per capita.Many of these officials have been sacked, and many of them have been sentenced by the courts for corruption crimes.

In the Li Yilong case, the mentality of the officials involved in the Li Yilong case was fully exposed. Many of them gave red envelopes of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan on the grounds of festivals and New Year greetings.Li Yilong’s principle of collecting money expressed in his confession is highly consistent: for subordinates, if the gifts are less than 10,000 yuan, there is no restraint, and they will be collected as soon as they are delivered;

Behind a corruption case, there is also a distorted mentality of the officials involved.As early as July 20, 2016, three months after Li Yilong's fall, Fu Kui, member of the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, went to Hengyang to guide the Hengyang Municipal Standing Committee's special democratic life meeting on reflection on the two cases, emphasizing the need to learn deeplyThe lessons learned from the two cases (the Hengyang election bribery case and the Li Yilong case) are to strictly govern the officials and the party, and reshape the good political ecology of Hengyang.

The curve of a township secretary: spending 300,000 yuan to become the head of the county land and resources bureau

Among the more than 40 officials involved in the case, Xia Weimin's position is the lowest: a department-level cadre in Xupu County, Huaihua.And in order to seek job adjustment, he sent a lot of money: 300,000 yuan.

As a department-level cadre, Xia Weimin rarely had the opportunity to get in touch with Li Yilong, the secretary of the municipal party committee at the departmental level. He followed a curve: seek help from Li Yilong's relatives.

According to the relevant judgment documents, in 2010, Li Yilong was the secretary of the Huaihua Municipal Party Committee, and Xia Weimin was the secretary of the Party Committee of Xiaojiangkou Township, Xupu County, Huaihua City.Zhang Dingyi proposed to greet Li Yilong through Zhang Dingyi, and Zhang Dingyi agreed to help.

Who is Zhang Dingyi?Li Yilong's wife Yang Lan's sister Yang Ping's husband.After Zhang Dingyi agreed to help, he and his wife Yang Ping made several requests to Yang Lan and interceded with Li Yilong through Yang Lan.

In the first half of 2011, the party secretary of the Xupu County Land and Resources Bureau in Huaihua City was about to retire. Xia Weimin approached Zhang Dingyi after hearing the news, and proposed to be transferred to the Xupu County Land and Resources Bureau as the party secretary.Zhang Dingyi conveyed Xia Weimin's request to Li Yilong through Yang Lan.

And Li Yilong only needs to ask his secretary to make a phone call.According to the testimony of Li Yilong's secretary at the time, Zheng, Li Yilong asked him to greet Li Zicheng, the secretary of the Xupu County Party Committee at the time, and tell Xia Weimin to take up a post in the Xupu County Land and Resources Bureau. He called Li Zicheng on the spot and conveyed Li Yilong's intentions.Therefore, the matter still needs to be connected with the Huaihua City Land Bureau, and Li Zicheng arranged for Yang, then the Minister of Organization of Xupu County, to connect with the leader of the Huaihua City Land Bureau.On July 28, 2011, Xia Weimin served as the party secretary of the Xupu County Land and Resources Bureau.

In 2012, the director of the Xupu County Land and Resources Bureau was about to retire. Xia Weimin proposed to Zhang Dingyi that he wanted to be the director of the Xupu County Land and Resources Bureau. Zhang Dingyi conveyed Xia Weimin's request to Yang Lan, and Yang Lan passed Li Yilong's secretary ZhengSay hello to the leaders of Xupu County. On September 28, 2012, Xia Weimin was successfully reused as the director of the Xupu County Land and Resources Bureau.

According to the verdict in the case of Zhang Dingyi and Yang Ping, Xia Weimin gave Zhang Dingyi 9 times a total of 300,000 yuan in cash in order to thank Zhang Dingyi for his help in adjusting his position.The Paper noticed that in 2011 and 2012, when the entrustment was made, Xia Weimin was generous and gave Zhang Dingyi 100,000 yuan at one time both times.Set a total of 100,000 yuan.Zhang Dingyi gave 170,000 yuan of it to Yang Ping, and Yang Ping gave 70,000 yuan of it to Yang Lan, and told Yang Lan that it was Xia Weimin who gave the money as a thank you for the job adjustment.

In February 2016, Xia Weimin was investigated by the Xupu County Commission for Discipline Inspection. In June of the same year, he was investigated and dealt with by the Xupu County Commission for Discipline Inspection and dismissed as the director of the Land Bureau.

The three county magistrates went on to give money one after another: the corrupt officials fell and reported Li Yilong

Xupu County Party Secretary Li Zicheng, who contributed to Xia Weimin's job adjustment, was promoted to vice mayor of Huaihua City in January 2013.However, Li Zicheng was targeted by the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection after only two years in office as deputy mayor.After several initial investigations, on May 22, 2015, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that Li Zicheng, vice mayor of Huaihua City, was suspected of serious violations of discipline and was under investigation by the organization.

The Paper found out that among the more than 40 officials involved in the above-mentioned case, Li Zicheng was the first one to fall due to corruption.However, Li Zicheng reported Li Yilong. At this time, Li Yilong had been transferred to Hengyang Municipal Party Committee Secretary in 2013 to replace Tong Mingqian, who was sacked in the Hengyang election bribery case.

An article published by Hunan Daily in November 2017 titled "Tiger Fighting Pioneer Megatron Sanxiang-Journal of the National Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision System Advanced Collective, the Seventh Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the Seventh Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline InspectionThe office not only verified Li Zicheng's related issues, but also dug out clues about serious violations of discipline by Li Yilong, the former secretary of the Huaihua Municipal Party Committee, and Huang Zechun, the former vice chairman of the Huaihua CPPCC.The Li Yilong case is the most influential case investigated and dealt with since the Seventh Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was established.

The second-instance verdict of Li Zicheng and Li Wenchu's bribery case published by China Judgment Documents Network shows that the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's Seventh Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office Xiangji Qihan (2017) No. 16 proved that during the two regulations, Li Zicheng voluntarily confessed that he bribed Li Yilong with 1.5 kilograms of goldThe fact that Li Yilong gave him a pair of Rolex watches worth about 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in return played an important role in the investigation of the Li Yilong case.

In December 2016, Li Zicheng, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison in the first instance, appealed. One of the reasons was that he reported the criminal facts of Huang Zechun and Li Yilong, which should be considered as major meritorious service and requested to change the sentence according to law.

The second instance of the Hunan High Court held that during the second instance, the relevant case-handling agency issued a letter of proof that Li Zicheng had played an important role in the investigation of Li Yilong's case, and Li Zicheng could be determined to have performed meritorious service.In view of the new sentencing circumstances in the second instance, Li Zicheng's punishment can be reduced.The Hunan High Court finally commuted Li Zicheng's sentence to 9 years in prison.

Following the fall of Li Zicheng, on October 30, 2015, Huang Zechun, vice chairman of the Huaihua CPPCC, was also declared by the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to be suspected of serious violations of discipline and to be investigated by the organization.

In August 2017, when Huang Zechun was on trial, he was accused of arranging for others to use 452,500 public funds to buy 2 kilograms of gold when he was secretary of the Yuanling County Party Committee in Huaihua, and then gave the gold to Li Yilong, then secretary of the Huaihua Municipal Party Committee, and spent the public fundsReimbursement with gifts, tobacco and alcohol invoices.

This fact of bribery is also reflected in the judgment of Li Yilong's wife Yang Lan: From the end of 2008 to 2015, Huang Zechun gave Li Yilong 4 yuan in 9 times.2 kilograms of gold, $10,000, some cash, and red wine.

The Paper found out that Li Zicheng and Huang Zechun had worked together for many years in Yuanling County, Huaihua City, the largest county in Hunan Province.From 2002 to 2006, when Li Zicheng was the magistrate of Yuanling County, Huang Zechun was the deputy secretary of the county party committee. After Li Zicheng was promoted to the secretary of the Yuanling County party committee, Huang Zechun took over as the county magistrate.

According to the relevant judgment, Duan, who succeeded Huang Zechun as the magistrate of Yuanling County, also sent money to Li Yilong: During his tenure as the magistrate of Yuanling County, in order to get Li Yilong’s care and support, from 2009 to 2013 during the Spring Festival, Duan spent every10,000 yuan each time, and a total of 50,000 yuan will be given to Li Yilong.

In addition to the three consecutive county magistrates of Yuanling County who bribed Li Yilong, according to the pre-appointment announcement issued by the management cadres of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, among the above-mentioned more than 40 officials involved in the case, three county magistrates were in the same batch in March 2013.He is going to be promoted to be the secretary of the county party committee of Jingzhou, Tongdao and Huitong counties.The three county magistrates are: Qin, the magistrate of Tongdao County, Huaihua (testimony: during his tenure as the director of the Huaihua City Urban Management Bureau and the magistrate of Tongdao County, he gave Li Yilong 60,000 yuan and 3,000 euros in total in 6 times),Duan, the magistrate of Yuanling County (testimony: during the tenure of the magistrate of Yuanling County, he gave Li Yilong a total of 50,000 yuan during the Spring Festival for five consecutive years since 2009) and Yang, the magistrate of Huitong County (testimony: during his tenure as the magistrate of Huitong County,From 2008 to 2013, a total of 90,000 yuan and 10,000 Hong Kong dollars were given to Li Yilong).

Li Yilong's principle of collecting money: no restraint below 10,000 yuan, optional collection of 10,000-20,000 yuan

Not only did the officials involved in the case send money to Li Yilong one after another, but there were also officials who gave money to Li Yilong together.

The above-mentioned tiger-fighting pioneer Megatron Sanxiang-Record National Discipline Inspection and Supervision System Advanced Collective, Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection No. 7 Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office introduced that while investigating the case of Li Yilong, it also brought out Zeng Yiguo, former secretary of the Changning City Party Committee, and Heng Nan.The former county magistrate Zou Xiaomin and other serious violations of discipline.

Hengyang Daily disclosed the confessions of four local officials on August 31, 2017. Among them, Shen Weiliang, the former executive deputy magistrate of Hengnan County, confessed that Zou Xiaomin (former magistrate of Hengnan County) took me to get acquainted with Li Yilong.The main leaders of the municipal party committee know themselves and understand themselves, which will definitely help them in their personal promotion and use in the future.Not only did I go every time Zou Xiaomin called me to Li Yilong's house, but I even went with him to give Li Yilong gifts;During my tenure, I was promoted to the post of county magistrate.

However, Shen Weiliang failed to wait until he was promoted. On August 3, 2016, he was declared suspected of serious violation of discipline and accepted organizational investigation.

The Paper found out that the vast majority of officials who gave money to Li Yilong or Li Yilong's relatives were directors and deputy cadres, and they were officials and deputy officials of the counties and bureaus under him when he was the secretary of the Huaihua and Hengyang municipal committees.Among them, there are more Huaihua officials than Hengyang officials, which is related to the length of time Li Yilong has served in the two places.

The prosecution previously accused Li Yilong of accepting money and goods from 24 people, including Huaihua official Huang Zechun, 168 times from 2007 to 2015, totaling RMB 2.694 million.Hengyang official Zeng Yiguo and other 10 people gave a total of RMB 792,800.The per capita bribe exceeds 100,000 yuan.The relevant judgments show that there are basically three mentalities in bribing officials: spending money to buy officials for promotion, thanking for care and support, and building good relationships for goodwill.Many of these officials gave 10,000 to 20,000 red envelopes in the name of New Year greetings during the Spring Festival.

When officials gave gifts, at first I refused to accept them and returned them, and then I accepted more and less. Later, I set a standard and defined red envelope gift money.In his confession, Li Yilong summed up his own set of principles in accepting money and goods from subordinate officials: if there is no restraint for subordinates with gifts below 10,000 yuan, they will be accepted as soon as they are sent;To collect, regard the red envelope gifts from subordinates as a way of expressing respect. As long as it does not exceed the standard, it is not illegal anyway, and the collection is calm and numb.The boss gave gifts. Although a firewall was set up, the protection was not strict. The key was that there was a problem with the defense line.Ideological slippage is the root cause of corruption.

Li Yilong further reflected: his behavior led to the prevalence of gift-giving, which corrupted the party's work style and government style. Many cadres in Huaihua and Hengyang had problems and even embarked on the road of crime.The root cause of the mistakes lies in the relaxation of ideological remolding, the serious distortion of the world outlook, values, and outlook on life, thinking determines action, and the transformation of ideas and concepts will lead to qualitative changes in the way of behavior.

In March 2017, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection reported six cases of mental problems discovered by provincial cadres in violation of the eight central regulations since 2016, which disclosed Li Yilong's illegal acceptance of gift money and extravagant enjoyment.

The case of Li Yilong has become a typical example of multiple notifications.Being distorted by fallen officials: many people have been sentenced

The Paper previously reported that after Li Yilong's fall, several officials involved in the case have entered judicial proceedings.According to public reports and the verdict published by China Judgment Documents Network, Huaihua officials Li Zicheng and Wang Xiaoming, Hengyang officials Shen Weiliang, Chen Yingsen, Zeng Yiguo and other fallen officials have been sentenced by the court.public information.

On July 31, 2018, the Hunan Loudi Intermediate People's Court sentenced Zeng Yiguo, the former party secretary of Hengyang Changning City, to five years and six months in prison for accepting bribes.In the judgment of Li Yilong's wife Yang Lan, the prosecution issued Zeng Yiguo's testimony to prove that: Zeng Yiguo, in order to gain Li Yilong's attention, was the secretary of the party working committee and the director of the management committee of Baishazhou Industrial Park in Hengyang City, and concurrently the chairman of Baishatou.And support, donated 50,000 yuan and 15,000 US dollars to Li Yilong in 7 times.Zeng Yiguo accepted bribes many times, more than 200 times, and each time the amount ranged from 5,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan, and the largest single transaction was 200,000 yuan.

On April 13, 2018, Chen Yingsen, the former secretary of the party group and chairman of Hengyang Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd., committed the crime of accepting bribes. The Changsha Intermediate Court upheld the original sentence at the second instance: four years and six months in prison and a fine of RMB 400,000.The court found that during his tenure, Chen Yingsen accepted bribes totaling RMB 1.97 million in cash and US$ 22,000.

On December 11, 2017, Shen Weiliang, the former executive deputy magistrate of Hengnan County, was sentenced to two years and six months in prison by the Leiyang City People's Court and fined RMB 300,000 for accepting bribes.The court found that from 2011 to 2016, Shen Weiliang accepted bribes from others 92 times during his tenure as a member of the Standing Committee of the Hengnan County Party Committee, Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, and Executive Deputy County Magistrate, totaling RMB 1.523 million and US$3,000.

On June 8, 2017, Wang Xiaoming, the former chairman of Huaihua Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd., was sentenced to three years and two months in prison by the Changsha County People's Court and fined RMB 400,000 for accepting bribes.

Looking at the characteristics of the above-mentioned bribery cases of corrupt officials that have been publicly judged, The Paper found that the common features are: the number of bribes is high, the time of bribery is mainly concentrated on the eve of traditional festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, and the amount of bribes ranges from thousands to 10,000., Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

The decline of the officials involved in the case is vividly expressed in their confessions.

According to the aforementioned confessions of four local officials disclosed by Hengyang Daily, Chen Yingsen wrote: On my 40th birthday, my 72-year-old mother toasted me with a glass of wine and wished me a good and honest official... Now sheThe only son became a corrupt official, and I discredited her old man's face.While accepting money from others, Chen Yingsen also gave money to his superiors.In order to get Li Yilong's support for the company and care for himself,, gave Li tens of thousands of dollars in three years.Since working in the county, facing the red envelope gift money sent by the person in charge of the subordinate unit, he first accepted it with trepidation, fearing that something would happen... Over time, he became numb to accepting the red envelope gift money.Shen Weiliang has a similar mentality to other fallen officials when it comes to dealing with red envelopes and gift money.

Among the officials involved in the Li Yilong case, some have returned in a low-key manner.

On October 12, 2016, The Paper reported that Liu Gesheng, the former mayor of Leiyang City, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Hengyang, visited Li Yilong's home to report on his work on the eve of Li Yilong's fall, and gave a red envelope of 30,000 yuan.On May 6, 2017, the Hengyang Municipal People's Government announced an appointment and dismissal news: Liu Gesheng was appointed as the vice chairman of Laiyan New City Construction Investment Co., Ltd. for Xiangjiang River Basin Management in Hengyang City.

In addition, multiple sources confirmed to The Paper that Lei Hua, Director of the Management Committee of Hengyang Songmu Economic Development Zone, who sought promotion through Li Yilong's relatives, and Zhou Xiaofeng, Director of the Hengyang Civil Affairs Bureau, who had sent money and goods to Li Yilong, were criticized by the Hengyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.Education, warning within the party.
