On October 19, 2018, the Intermediate People's Court of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province opened a public trial of the first instance of the bribery case of Lu Wei, the former deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

The People's Procuratorate of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province accused: From July 2002 to the second half of 2017, the defendant Lu Wei used his positions as a member of the party group, secretary general, and vice president of Xinhua News Agency, member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, director of the Propaganda Department, and deputy mayor of Beijing., director of the State Internet Information Office, deputy director of the State Council Information Office, director of the Office of the Central Cyber Security and Informatization Leading Group, and deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.Seeking benefits in matters such as network management and job promotion, and accepting property from relevant units and individuals directly or through others, totaling more than 32 million yuan.

During the trial, the public prosecution agency presented relevant evidence, Lu Wei and his defenders cross-examined evidence, the prosecution and the defense fully expressed their opinions under the auspices of the court, and Lu Wei also made a final statement, pleading guilty and repenting in court.More than 60 people, including deputies to the National People's Congress, Zhejiang Province, and Ningbo Municipal People's Congress, members of the CPPCC Committee, special supervisors of the People's Court, journalists and people from all walks of life, attended the trial.

After the trial, the court announced an adjournment, and sentencing at an optional date.

On November 21, 2017, Lu Wei was declared sacked, becoming the first official sacked after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.On November 23, 2017, the official website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection published an article on Lu Wei's sacking: Don't think that no one will ask about what happened yesterday.

The article stated that the problem lies in the past, and the downfall lies in the present.Looking back, Lu Wei is a typical representative of the three types of people who have been investigated and punished.Lu Wei once served as the director of the Central Cyberspace Administration of China. His fall is reminiscent of the mobile inspection of the Central Cyberspace Administration of China by the Central Inspection Team in the first half of this year.

The mobile patrol is just going straight to the key people, key things, and key issues.Lu Wei's acceptance of organizational scrutiny not only demonstrates the powerful power of the inspection sword, but also forms a strong deterrent to corrupt elements. Don't think that no one will ask about what happened yesterday, and don't think that you can cover it up and live in peace.The punishment to be received will come sooner or later.

On February 13, 2018, Lu Wei was double-opened:

After investigation, Lu Wei seriously violated political discipline and rules., Anonymously falsely accuse others, form cliques, form small circles; seriously violate the spirit of the eight central regulations and mass discipline, frequently go to private clubs, engage in privileges, behave rudely, and domineeringly;Tell the truth about the problem;

Violating integrity and discipline, using power for personal gain, collecting money to amass wealth; violating work discipline, selectively implementing the central government's strategic deployment of cybersecurity and informatization work; using power for sex, shameless.Taking advantage of the convenience of his position to seek benefits for others and accepting huge amounts of property is suspected of accepting bribes.

As a senior party cadre, Lu Wei lacks ideals and beliefs, has no party principles, is extremely disloyal to the party central committee, has no four consciousnesses, and violates the six disciplines. He is a typical double-faced person.After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there was no restraint and no stopping, the problems were seriously concentrated, the masses responded strongly, and political and economic problems were intertwined. The nature was very bad and the circumstances were particularly serious.

In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Communist Party of China Disciplinary Action Regulations and other relevant regulations, after the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the approval of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, it was decided to expel Lu Wei from the party and dismissed from public office; confiscated his disciplinary income;The object is transferred to the relevant state agency for processing according to law. Among the Chinese words used to describe fallen officials, it can be said that they have been used up for Lu Wei, and the filth has reached an indescribable level.

In July of this year, Lu Wei was prosecuted: The case of Lu Wei, the former deputy head of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, was suspected of accepting bribes. The investigation by the Zhejiang Provincial Supervisory Committee was concluded.
