Thousands of miles away, collapsed in an ant nest. In the process of China's social prosperity and development, resolutely crack down on social moths; Zhao Yongzheng, former secretary of Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, embezzled 700 million yuan. Why was he sentenced to a suspended death sentence instead of the death penalty?
1, part of the property is attempted crime.
Zhao Yong is the former vice chairman of the Internal Affairs Judicial Committee of the 12th National People's Congress and the former secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China. What makes us hard to believe is that this high-ranking official who seems to serve the people is actually a big pest. While preaching the truth, he is doing corruption that harms society.
Recently, Zhao Yongzheng's bribery and corruption case was publicly tried and pronounced in Tianjin No.1 Intermediate People's Court. Zhao Yongzheng was sentenced to death, suspended for two years, deprived of his political rights for life, and confiscated all his personal property. After the expiration of the two-year suspension of execution, the death penalty shall be commuted to life imprisonment, and life imprisonment shall not be commuted or released on parole. What does this mean? Zhao Yong was convicted of such a huge crime of corruption, and in the end he was only sentenced to death with a reprieve, not the death penalty.
Zhao Yongzheng took advantage of his position to seek benefits for relevant units and individuals, and illegally accepted property given by others, totaling RMB 7170,000. However, out of 70170,000 yuan, 290 million yuan was not obtained by Zhao Yongzheng, which is an attempted crime, but it still embezzled more than 400 million yuan, so it is too kind to commute the death sentence with a reprieve.
2. Zhao Yongzheng sincerely repents and repents.
It is said that there is no regret medicine in life, but in the face of humanitarianism, regret medicine still exists. Zhao committed the crime of accepting bribes, and the amount of bribes reached more than 700 million yuan, which had a bad social impact and caused great losses to the interests of the country and the people. He should be sentenced to death. However, Zhao Yongzheng sincerely repented and truthfully confessed the facts of the crime, and all the stolen money was seized and frozen. According to the statutory discretionary circumstances, Zhao Yongzheng was sentenced to death with a two-year suspension, which means that Zhao Yongzheng does not need to be sentenced to death, but only needs life imprisonment. Let's think about it. Taking bribes and embezzling more than 700 million yuan can also be sentenced to death with a reprieve. What is the concept of more than 700 million? This is something that most of us dare not think about. This kind of behavior can be said to be heartless and corrupt the social atmosphere.
3. Confess all the criminal facts.
If a person really regrets, he should stop in time when things are relatively small, instead of regretting when things are exposed. Repentance after exposure is to fight for the last chance of survival, which is forced by reality and is not worthy of sympathy at all; This is just a humanitarian forgiveness. After Zhao Yongzheng truthfully confessed the facts and circumstances of the crime, after the death penalty was suspended for two years, it was reduced to life imprisonment, and no commutation or parole was allowed. This means that Zhao Yongzheng, who is over 500 years old, escaped the death penalty. He should have paid for his actions, but he was only sentenced to life imprisonment.
In short, corruption and bribery seriously affect the social atmosphere and people's interests, which is an act resolutely cracked down by the state; At the same time, I hope there will be no more people who take bribes like Zhao Yongzheng.
