In 2013, nine bureau-level cadres in Wuhan were investigated-corrupt officials were not far away.

Yesterday, the Wuhan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection held the fourth plenary (enlarged) meeting of the 12th session. It was reported at the meeting that in 2013, the discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels in the city investigated and dealt with 9 bureau-level cadres, punished 626 party member cadres who violated discipline, and transferred them to judicial organs for handling 70 cadres.

According to statistics, from 2010 to 2013, a total of 2,112 party member cadres were put on file for investigation, including 25 bureau-level cadres and 339 department-level cadres. The trajectory of these corrupt officials is alarming and thought-provoking.

Xie Gongzhuo: There is no hope of getting promoted and getting rich.

On January 23, 2013, Xie Gongzhuo, former executive vice minister of the Propaganda Department of Wuhan Municipal Committee, just celebrated his 54th birthday. And a pair of handcuffs became his late birthday present.

In January 1997, Xie Gongzhuo was appointed as Deputy Secretary of Hannan District Committee. In the following more than 10 years, he served as the district head and secretary of the district Committee. "I haven’t been recognized by the organization for so many years. I think I should have a rest, so I am a little relaxed about myself." Xie Gongzhuo believed that his career was hopeless, and he started from "loss" to "out of control".

By contracting projects for enterprises in Hannan District, Xie Gongzhuo has received 300,000 yuan from a property management company, 50,000 dollars from a sewage treatment company, 100,000 yuan from a health care product company and 50,000 yuan from an industrial development company.

The longer Xie Gongzhuo stayed in Hannan, the more frustrated he became and the crazier he became in collecting money.

In April 2006, a real estate company acquired 200 mu of land in Hannan to build a factory. Hannan District Committee decided that the price of the expropriated land should not be less than 35,000 yuan per mu. The person in charge of the company immediately asked Xie Gongzhuo for help and asked for a price reduction. Xie Gongzhuo ignored the decision made by the district party committee. He personally came forward to coordinate, which broke the "example" of the district Committee and adjusted the land price requisitioned by this company to 25,000 yuan per mu.

Xie Gongzhuo not only can’t refuse the temptation of money, but also attaches great importance to official career. Thinking that he was "marginalized" became his increasingly heavy heart disease. In the last days when Xie Gongzhuo was in charge of Hannan, he became a "mobile phone secretary". He can’t be found in the office building, whether it’s the arrangement work or the staff asking for instructions, almost only by mobile phone.

In September 2008, Xie Gongzhuo was transferred to the position of executive deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee "with mixed feelings". After his arrival, his mental state was even more depressed. Usually, except for the meetings attended by the four leaders in the city, other meetings that should have been attended are "done by others", and even the female boss who knows him drives him out to eat and drink in a luxury car during working hours.

His figure appears more and more in karaoke bars, dance halls, bars and sauna clubs. Due to misconduct, a boss once threatened Xie Gongzhuo in the bath center: "Your activities here have been videotaped, so you should be honest."

In October 2009, the person in charge of a company gave a banquet to Xie Gongzhuo and his wife Liu 500,000 yuan after dinner. This is the biggest bribe he has ever received. He was afraid of being investigated and dared not deposit it in the bank.

Before 2006, Xie Gongzhuo put money in the office; With the increase of the amount, he bought a suitcase and put it in his mother’s house; In the second half of 2011, I bought a small safe; At the beginning of 2012, it was replaced by a medium-sized safe. When the case handlers opened the safe, there was RMB 1.12 million in it.

On August 20, 2013, Xie Gongzhuo was accused of taking advantage of his position to accept bribes of RMB 1.67 million and USD 100,000 from 13 companies and individuals. The Municipal Intermediate People’s Court sentenced him to 10 years and 6 months’ imprisonment.

Zhang Huojin: The work notes are full of mahjong tips.

When the case handlers picked up the work notebook of Zhang Huojin, the former vice chairman of Xinzhou District CPPCC, they found that it was full of pages of mahjong secrets.

In 2006, Xinzhou District was re-elected. At that time, 43-year-old Zhang Huojin was eager to enter the leadership team of the district government, but failed to do so. Zhang Huojin feels that he is a place-level cadre in the district, and he is at the top. So I relaxed myself and gambled around.

In 2011, Zhang Huojin was promoted as the vice chairman of the District Political Consultative Conference. He was dissatisfied and thought it was a "idle job". He had a job and no right, and his heart was even more lost. He just wanted to gamble and win money.

During his tenure as director of Xinzhou District Civil Affairs Bureau and vice chairman of the District Political Consultative Conference, Zhang Huojin went to Macau to gamble privately for 17 times. In order to repay gambling debts, he used his position to misappropriate more than 2 million yuan of public funds.

Zhang Huojin also directly intervened in the construction of the social welfare home of the District Civil Affairs Bureau and the maintenance works of the office building of the District Civil Affairs Bureau. He violated the bidding regulations, contracted the unit project to Luo, and received 700,000 yuan in money and goods. Luo’s wife, Xue, not only lent Zhang Huojin "code money" in different amounts many times, but also borrowed money to repay Zhang Huojin when he embezzled public funds and could not repay it.

At present, Zhang Huojin has been transferred to the judicial organs for handling.

Hu Qinhua: Make real efforts for my aunt’s profit.

On February 14th, 2012, on Valentine’s Day, the former head of Wuchang District, Hu Qinhua, and his wife, Chen Mou, were both disciplined.

This "husband and wife file" has been collecting money together for more than ten years.

In the second half of 2000, a unit building in Wuhan was ready for renovation. Hu Qinhua’s wife, Chen Mou, asked him to come forward and hand over the project to a Shenzhen company operating in Han, because its boss is her good friend.

With a greeting, the company successfully received the renovation project with a total price of 30 million. As a token of gratitude, General Manager Wang gave Chen Mou 300,000 yuan in two installments according to 1% of the total project amount.

Hu Qinhua knew, not only did he not stop it, but said, "The market outside is all three points." Wang was helpless and had to add another 600,000 yuan in benefits.

In February 2009, Zhang, the owner of a real estate company, gave Hu Qinhua’s wife a valuable necklace, which Hu Qinhua pushed away. However, he said meaningfully that his family is still doing business, so it is ok to "take care of" it in the future. Hu Qinhua’s family refers to her aunt who runs two advertising companies.

At this time, although Zhang did not have any advertising needs, he still signed an advertising contract of 380,000 yuan with his aunt.

At the beginning of 2011, a construction site of the company needed to be fenced, and Zhang entrusted the construction unit to sign a light box and inkjet enclosure contract with Sister Hu Qinhua. And this contract worth 630 thousand yuan is only used to write a few advertising slogans on the enclosure.

A few months later, Hu Qinhua visited the company and pointed to the other side of the fence with advertising slogans, stressing: "The advertising is doing well, and it needs to be rectified there." Zhang got the message, and an advertising contract of 1.386 million yuan once again fell into the hands of Aunt Hu Qinhua.

From March 2007 to May 2011, during his tenure as the head of Qiaokou District, Hu Qinhua greeted five companies successively, and asked his aunt to undertake advertising business of 4.185 million yuan, with a profit of 1.625 million yuan.

On February 28th, 2013, Wuhan Intermediate People’s Court held a hearing on Hu Qinhua’s case. According to the prosecution’s allegations, from 2000 to 2012, when Hu Qinhua was the deputy head of Hannan District, the head of Qiaokou District and the head of Wuchang District, he personally accepted bribes totaling more than 1.22 million yuan and a large amount of foreign currency, and together with his wife Chen Mou, he took bribes of 900,000 yuan.
