Zuo Xin Jr. is a real northern man, but he is not a big man. He is about 1.7 meters tall, neither fat nor thin, with a pair of glasses with deep myopia on his high nose. His round face is fair and ruddy, and his manners are elegant and quiet. He is a typical scholar.
On June 28th, 1994, headed by Xiao, a delegation composed of Liu Guangju, President of Fuyang People's Bank, Feng Ziqing, President of China Construction Bank and Jin Zhengqing, General Manager of Anhui Lida Communication Cable Co., Ltd. visited the United States. All the expenses of this visit, including food, accommodation, transportation and play, are paid by Lida Company. With the approval of the provincial government, the trip was allowed to stay abroad for 15 days, but the small group stayed abroad for 26 days, traveling around and even playing slot machines in Las Vegas.
This visit to American society has become a catalyst, activating the sexy devil sleeping in the depths of the little soul. The mayor, who ranks first among thousands of people in China, faced with a highly developed material life in a foreign country and experienced the feeling of lack of money, the balance began to tilt. As he later said: "After going to the United States, I feel that Americans are very open and free, and they are a country without traditional burdens. Unlike China people, they carry too many traditional things. " So, he began to unload his baggage and go into battle lightly. First of all, he deleted the Millennium old adage of China people that "ill-gotten gains are not desirable". On the second night after arriving in the United States, Xiao accepted $2,000 from Kim Jong-ching in the name of advance payment for studying abroad. After the inspection, I received cameras, cameras, sphygmomanometers and American ginseng worth RMB 1 977438+0 yuan via Hongkong and Macau. In Guangzhou, he once again accepted 4000 yuan from Gong Lihua, cashier of Jinhe Lida Company. After returning to Fuyang, Kim asked Gong to give Xiao 5536.6 yuan in the name of the remaining overseas subsidies.
Later, the procuratorate found out that Lida Company paid more than 400,000 yuan for Xiaoye and his party during this visit.
There is a reason why Lida Company is so generous. 1994, the company needed a loan of 32 million yuan due to the shortage of funds. Due to the huge amount, under the small coordination, the provincial people's bank, ICBC, CCB and ABC authorized the secondary branches of the city to lend 8 million yuan each. In order to implement the loan as soon as possible, Jin decided to invite several governors of Fuyang to visit the United States in the name of inspection. Before the dissolution in Guangzhou, Xiao asked the two presidents accompanying him to pay close attention to the loan situation of Lida Company after returning to Fuyang. After returning to Fuyang, Zuo Xin Jr. repeatedly called to urge Lida Company to provide equipment loans. It seems that it is time for this study abroad to come to a successful conclusion.
1999, Fuyang Intermediate People's Court sentenced Jin Zhongqing to fixed-term imprisonment 1 1 year for corruption and misappropriation of public funds, and confiscated property of 20,000 yuan. In the process of investigating Jin Zhongqing's case, three ticket stubs were found, which read "Admission ticket for crazy erotic performance in Paris" and "Macau", and yellow body sketches were printed on the ticket stubs. Where did these three ticket stubs come from? Who watched such a performance with again? The investigators seized this clue, and after careful investigation, they found out the violations of law and discipline of Mayor Xiao, President Liu Guangju and President Feng Ziqing of China Construction Bank during their visit to the United States funded by Lida Company on 1994. Fuyang City Procuratorate subsequently put Liu and Feng on file for investigation. In June 2000, Liu Guangju and Feng Ziqing were both sentenced by Fuyang Intermediate People's Court for accepting bribes.
However, when the relevant personnel "invited" Xiao to Hefei and asked him to clarify the problems during his visit to the United States, he categorically denied receiving money and goods from Kim Jong-un. From July 1999 to September 1999, the task force made several small talks, all of which ended in a small refusal to talk. At this point, the other three people in the delegation had confessed the whole process, but Zuo Xin refused to admit what was certain. Just as the investigators were looking for a breakthrough, it was reported that Zhou Jimei, the youngest wife and former deputy director of Fuyang Social Security Bureau, tried to transfer her deposit of 5 1.8 million yuan in the new century business office of Agricultural Bank of China! After receiving the report, the task force immediately went to the office for verification. It was verified that Zhou Jimei had transferred money and things at home. Zuo Xin Jr. bowed his head under all the stolen goods.
After the news that the procuratorate was involved in the case came out, Zhou Jimei panicked, and 53 huge deposit certificates at home were like 53 time bombs. She thought of dealing with the deposit of 5 1.8 million yuan in Fuyang Agricultural Bank New Century Office. She found her son-in-law Wang Lin, Wang Lin's brother Wang Qi and Zhou Lin (self-employed) to discuss the transfer.
Considering the insecurity at home, they came to the Buckingham Palace Hotel in Fuyang. Zhou Jimei took out a stack of bankbooks from her small bag, counted them and handed them to Joline: "Zhou Xiao, here are 1 1 bankbooks, totaling11490,000 yuan, with your name written on them. Recently, the Commission for Discipline Inspection is talking to Xiao Lao. It's not safe to leave this thing at home. Please put it in your place first and cover it for me if necessary. " Several people in the room knew that Zhou Jimei was making money under the banner of the mayor's wife, but she didn't expect so much money at home. Wang Lin, Zhou's son-in-law, is even more surprised: this mother-in-law who even has to look at her face when her only grandson comes to her house to eat apples is actually a rich woman! Faced with these bankbooks, Zhou Lin didn't dare to take them, but he took them at the thought that his name was written on them. Then several people discussed how to withdraw a deposit of 5 1.8 million yuan in the new century business hall of Agricultural Bank of China.
Seeing the wind getting tighter and tighter, Zhou Jimei called Wang Lin, Zhou Lin and others to discuss how to deal with the investigation by the procuratorate. Zuo Xin Jr. is here this time. Zhou Jimei asked eagerly, "Have you discussed it these days?" Zhou Lin looked at Zuo Xin Jr.: "When we went to the bank to withdraw money, we said that the money was leather goods from Hebei, of which 4.3 million was lent to Wang Qi before, and now Wang Qi has returned it to me." Small didn't say anything, Zhou Jimei nodded: "let's just say. Xiao Lao, what do you think? " Xiao Zuoxin told a few more words and left.
After arriving home, Xiao and Zhou summed it up and remembered that there were still several large sums of money deposited in the name of Liu in the passbook, which were not implemented well and their psychology was not practical. Later, Zhou Jimei called Zhou Lin and others together, and this time Liu Ye took part. At this time, Zhou Jimei told Liu bluntly: "I have several deposits, about 3.69 million yuan, all in your name. You should know when it's critical. " Liu hesitated for a while, but agreed. Subsequently, several people rehearsed the prepared statements over and over again.
1September, 1999, the procuratorate filed an investigation against Zhou Lin on suspicion of joint corruption with Zhou Jimei. In the face of the investigators, Zhou Lin confessed that Zhou Jimei colluded with them and tried to divert the investigators' attention through collusion to avoid legal sanctions. Subsequently, the investigators found the 1 1 passbook that Zhou Jimei gave him for safekeeping at Zhou Lin's home.
So, the paper finally couldn't hold the fire.
Exchange power and money for high walls and bars.
Shortly after the Spring Festival in 2000, the investigators of two "1. 10" task forces got another important news: Fu Jingming, assistant director of Fuyang Food and Drug Administration, paid bribes to Xiao in order to get the position of captain of the drug inspection brigade. At the same time, I also learned an important clue: Fu Zeng and Xiao's secretary went to an auction house in Hefei to buy expensive calligraphy and painting for Xiao. According to Fu Jingming's account, in June of 5438+0998 10, he bought 5 famous paintings from an auction house in Hefei and gave Xiao 3 famous paintings worth RMB 17900. At the same time, he also gave Zhou Jimei RMB 30,000, and directly asked Xiao to be the team leader. After Xiao accepted the money, he immediately called Director Yang of Fuyang Municipal Administration of Medicine and recommended Fu Jingming. 1999 65438+ 10, Fuyang Municipal Administration of Medicine recommended Fu Jingming as the captain of the drug inspection brigade at the request of Mayor Xiao, but due to his lack of years as a full-time doctor, the organization department of the Municipal Party Committee did not approve it. In order to achieve this goal, Fu also gave Zhou Jimei 30,000 yuan to let her blow more "pillow breeze".
The procuratorate has basically verified that a large part of the "gray income" of Xiaohe and Zhou Jimei's family is the income from money and power transactions, and there are many tributes from running officials and buying officials.
In order to climb this big tree, the director of Yingshang Road Police Station in Yingquan District tried his best to get close to Xiao. In addition to entertaining young couples many times, he also bought Zhou Jimei a gold bracelet worth 2900 yuan during the Spring Festival of 1998. 1999 At the beginning of this year, Fuyang Public Security Bureau began to equip the leading bodies of the three public security bureaus under its jurisdiction. Find Xiao and ask Xiao to recommend him as the deputy director of Yingquan District Public Security Bureau. In order to achieve the purpose of promotion, Liu gave Zhou Jimei RMB 7,000 twice. With the help of Mayor Xiao, at the end of 1997, he became the deputy director of Yingquan District Public Security Bureau. In order to express gratitude, I sent 654.38 yuan+500,000 yuan to the Xiao family.
In addition to selling official income, the Xiao family also has a very important source of funds-alongside big money.
1in March, 1998, Xiao and Zhou Jimei hosted a banquet for Jiang, deputy manager of a real estate development company in Fuyang Zhonghua Hotel. Zhou Jimei proposed to buy a facade room for her cousin, and said that she had selected a facade room with an area of 66. 12 square meters, hoping to buy it at a price of 3,500 yuan per square meter. Ginger is too low to sell, so Zhou said to ginger, ". Jiang had to agree. In the name of Chen Xiuling, Zhou Jimei bought the facade house here for 2,365,438 yuan +0.42 million yuan (lower than the selling price of 9,965,438 yuan +0.8 million yuan). A month later, Zhou asked Jiang to help sell the house for other reasons. As a result, Jiang sold the house at a price of 4 1.9862 million yuan, and Zhou Jimei made a profit of 1.88442 million yuan.
1998 During the Spring Festival, Liu gave the young couple 1 10,000 yuan to thank them for connecting the company. Soon after, Xiao and Zhou helped Liu sign advertisements for two cigarette factories with a total value of 770,000 yuan. After the advertisement was released, the cigarette factory paid Liu three times. Zhou Jimei successively asked Liu to give himself three IOUs, totaling 700,000 yuan (monthly interest rate 1 5%), which was regarded as Zhou's loan to Liu. Of course, it is cost-effective to type this IOU. In September of the same year, Liu's factory built a dormitory for employees. After Liu found Xiao and greeted the relevant personnel, the Municipal Construction Committee exempted the relevant expenses of 654.38+0.0009 million yuan, which was the best of both worlds and happy.
When checking the stolen money and goods of Xiaojia, the prosecutors were surprised to find that almost all the huge money and goods collected by the couple were concentrated between 1994 and 1999. In a short period of five years, it quickly exploded into a household of 10 million yuan, and 99% of Xiao's property flowed into this family through Zhou Jimei's hand. Zhou Jimei is a concrete operator in accepting bribes from Jiang, Huang and Liu. At the critical moment, George W. Zuo Xin stepped forward and supported them with his strength. Xiao turned a blind eye to Zhou Jimei's actions while performing a "double-reed drama" with Zhou Jimei, and let Zhou Jimei run amok, so that a large amount of illegal income flowed into the family through Zhou Jimei's hands.
Confessions of shaw:
"The people's procuratorate accused me of accepting bribes and the source of huge amounts of property is unknown. I plead guilty to two charges. But I ask for leniency because I actively cooperated in the whole case. 20 14, 10 On two occasions in June, I called my son and daughter and asked them to hand over all the transferred things to the organization. In addition, the provincial procuratorate asked me to write to Zhou Lin, urging him to tell the truth, and I did. 20 14, 14 in February, I wrote a written request to the provincial party Committee, the commission for discipline inspection and the procuratorate, demanding that all my property be turned over.
"I have been married to Zhou Jimei for 365,438+0 years, and she is alone in housework. For her, I care too little and have insufficient education. Among the mistakes made by Zhou Jimei, there are my faults and my responsibilities. Many people gave her money and things because of my power. What hurts her is my position and power.
"I was born in a poor family. My father died when I was two months old. My mother, my sister and I live alone. My mother sent my sister to a normal school. I completed my college studies on a scholarship. It was the party that trained me to be an adult.
1974, I was 29 years old and was appointed as the director of the district education Committee. At the age of 38, I was appointed as the propaganda minister of the prefectural party Committee. Later, I served as deputy secretary of the municipal party Committee, deputy mayor and acting mayor. When I was elected mayor, I only lost five votes, which shows the love of Fuyang people for me. But with the increase of power and status, I relaxed my demands on myself and changed my world outlook, and my values began to deviate. In the spring tide of market economy, I lost the battle and made a big fall, discrediting the party. It doesn't matter whether I advance or retreat, but mainly defile the honor of the country and the party. I am very sad and unforgivable about this. "
When talking about his transformation process, Zuo Xin Jr. concluded: "It has something to do with the bad atmosphere in Fuyang. On holidays, friends and relatives will give gifts. At first, I insisted on not accepting it. Later, some people said that you were an official, but your six relatives denied it. Some cadres also said that "you are serious" and that they are not "my people". "It complicates and politicizes simple issues. I didn't pull my face down and began to be confused. I know someone sent money to my lover. It seems that this is my biggest confusion. And then develop into a power and money transaction. In view of this, I ask the Party to educate, manage and supervise every cadre in party member, especially those with power in party member, so as to save cadres like me.
"After careful reflection, I want to warn my children and colleagues-don't be greedy for money in life, don't take other people's money. Rich, but three meals a day; There are thousands of rooms in Guangsha, but there is only one bed to sleep in. I got to this point because I didn't realize it in time. For this reason, I regret for life, and I will seriously reform and start a new life. " When Zuo Xin Jr. said these words, tears swirled in his eyes. His wife Zhou Jimei cried loudly and said, "I have come this far, and I deserve it. How will my children live in the future and how will they stand in the world? " Xiao's children also kept sobbing in the court, and the court was silent.

Defendant Zhou Jimei embezzled and illegally sold land use rights.
According to the vice president of the Municipal Intermediate People's Court, Xiao's case is a serious economic crime case involving the highest level and the largest amount of money in our city. The indictment of the procuratorate alleges that the defendant, as a national staff member, used his position to seek benefits for others, accept bribes from others, and let Zhou Jimei accept bribes from others; Defendant Zhou Jimei took advantage of his small position to seek benefits for others, accepting and demanding other people's property. Defendants Xiao and Zhou Jimei accepted and demanded bribes totaling RMB 1 187663, US$ 2,000 and HK$ 50,000, which constituted the crime of accepting bribes and were joint crimes.
On June 29, 2000, the Hefei Intermediate People's Court made the following judgment in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC): a minor offender was sentenced to life imprisonment, deprived of political rights for life, and all personal property was confiscated; He was convicted of a huge amount of property with unknown sources and sentenced to five years in prison.

On March 27th, 20001year, the High Court of Anhui Province held a public hearing to hear the case. The court of second instance held that Xiao and Zhou Jimei were convicted accurately in the original judgment, and there was nothing improper in sentencing according to the criminal facts, nature, circumstances and degree of harm of the two defendants. The protest of the procuratorial organ did not put forward new facts and legal basis. In view of the specific circumstances of Zhou Jimei's crime of corruption, and all the money involved has been recovered, Zhou Jimei is not a criminal who must be executed immediately after being sentenced to death. There is nothing wrong with the death penalty in the original trial being suspended for two years, so the reason for protest is not supported. The application of the law in the original judgment was correct, the sentencing was appropriate, and the trial procedure was legal, so the above ruling was made according to law.
