On April 20 14, Yi Zhenwu undertook the labor service project of Liu Yuansheng Company, but failed to reach an agreement with Liu Yuansheng in the process of project construction and project payment settlement. Yi Zhenwu secretly recorded the audio and video of Liu Yuan's ex-wife and Nick Cheung, former vice president of Hainan Senior High School, and sent it to Nick Cheung in April 20 18, threatening to disclose the video and demanding that Liu Yuansheng increase the project cost by 2.25 million yuan. On May 30th of the same year, Liu Yuansheng transferred 500,000 yuan to Yi Zhenwu, and immediately reported the case to the police on the grounds of extortion. On June 5, 20 18, Yi Zhenwu was detained on suspicion of extortion. On October 29th, 2022, 10 was released on bail and detained for three years and seven months. On February 28, 2022, at 65438, Yi Zhenwu told the cover journalist that more than three years of detention had caused him great harm and he was glad to get a fair result. According to the judgment of the first instance of this case, the Wanzhou District Court of Chongqing found through trial that in April 20 14, Yi Zhenwu and his brother Yi Shuangquan were affiliated with Chongqing Wanzhou Wen Rong Construction Labor Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Wen Rong Company) to undertake the labor service project of Huajun Hotel invested and built by Hainan Diners Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Diners Company, with Liu Yuansheng as the general manager) in the name of the company, and the agreed labor service project price was 65,438. During the signing and construction of the contract, Yi Zhenwu raised objections to the actual construction area, lost time and equipment rental management fees, sporadic engineering fees, changes and increases in engineering quantities, the price difference between aerated bricks and red bricks, and the decoration works of floors and canopies, demanding an increase in labor costs and consulting with Liu Yuansheng many times. 201165438+1October 9, Yi Zhenwu, Yi Shuangquan and Liu Yuansheng signed the Settlement Agreement on the Settlement of Labor Project Payment of Huajun Hotel through consultation, and determined the labor project payment of * * * 22.6 million yuan, and agreed that other outstanding matters should be determined by both parties through consultation. 20 18 1, Dieners company paid off the labor service project payment of 22.6 million yuan determined in the settlement agreement, and Liu Yuansheng immediately blacked out Yi Zhenwu's mobile phone number. Yi Zhenwu repeatedly contacted Liu Yuansheng on the grounds that the settlement agreement failed to solve the disputed labor project cost of 2.25 million yuan, so on April 8 of the same year, he mailed the audio and video materials of Liu Yuansheng and his ex-wife to Liu Yuan's ex-wife and former vice president of the Hainan Provincial High Court. Please ask Nick Cheung to convey the audio and video materials and the request to increase the labor project fee to Liu Yuansheng. After reviewing the audio and video materials from Nick Cheung, Liu Yuansheng contacted Yi Zhenwu by phone and text message for many times, and agreed to hold a consultation in Wanzhou District on May 16 of the same year. On May 30th of the same year, Liu Yuansheng transferred 500,000 yuan to Yi Zhenwu, and immediately reported the case to the public security organ on the grounds of extortion by Yi Zhenwu. In June of the same year, Yi Zhenwu and Liu Yuansheng made two representations on this matter. On June 14, the public security organs arrested Yi Zhenwu in Wanzhou District after receiving the clue provided by Liu Yuansheng. It does not constitute extortion and has no purpose of illegal possession. The comprehensive judgment of the Wanzhou District Court of Chongqing held that the evidence presented by the public prosecution agency was sufficient to determine that Yi Zhenwu objectively carried out coercion in this case. Yi Zhenwu threatened to make public the video of Liu Yuansheng and his ex-wife's improper words and deeds, with the intention of forcing Liu Yuansheng to increase the labor project payment, which should be regarded as coercion. However, the existing evidence is not enough to prove that Yi Zhenwu subjectively possessed other people's property in this case. First of all, Yi Zhenwu and Liu Yuan live in a civil dispute, and the amount of property demanded by Yi Zhenwu is always within the scope of 2.25 million yuan claimed in his civil dispute, and it does not exceed the scope of 2.25 million yuan in labor costs and project funds. In addition, the settlement agreement signed by both parties is incomplete, and the signatures of the two settlement agreements for filing are also incomplete, so Yi Zhenwu's claim is not completely inconsistent with the facts. Source of the project involved: To sum up, Wanzhou District Court held that Yi Zhenwu's behavior violated the principle of voluntariness in civil activities, and his means were despicable, which was neither in line with China's socialist core values nor in violation of relevant laws and regulations, and should be negatively evaluated. In this case, Yi Zhenwu objectively carried out coercion, but in order to establish the crime of extortion, Yi Zhenwu must subjectively possess other people's property. The public prosecution agency failed to provide reliable and sufficient evidence to prove that Yi Zhenwu subjectively possessed other people's property, so there was insufficient evidence to accuse Yi Zhenwu of extortion. Yi Zhenwu's behavior in this case does not meet other constitutive requirements of crimes stipulated in the specific provisions of the criminal law. Therefore, Yi Zhenwu should be acquitted according to law. On the afternoon of February 28th, 65438, Yi Zhenwu told the cover journalist, "I dreamed that I was in a detention center at night. In recent years, I have not made any money, spent a lot of money and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, I got a fair result. " Asked whether he would apply for state compensation, Yi Zhenwu said that he had not thought so much at present. After the case of Yi Zhenwu, the plaintiff of "Billion Dean", was caught outside the case, Liu Yuansheng and his wife immediately fell into the storm of "Billion assets reported". On May 19 and 13, the Political and Legal Committee of Hainan Provincial Party Committee responded quickly and led a joint investigation team to investigate the matter. 2065438+On May 3, 20091,the Joint Investigation Team issued a notice saying that Nick Cheung was suspected of serious violation of discipline and law, and was examined and investigated by the Supervisory Committee of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. After the first trial, Wanzhou District Court made a criminal ruling on February 13, 2020, claiming that the trial of Yi Zhenwu's extortion case could not continue for a long time due to irresistible reasons, and decided to suspend the trial according to law. From June 5438+February 2020 to June 20021year, Nick Cheung and Liu Yuansheng were successively convicted of accepting bribes, administrative bending of the law and fraud; Crimes such as accepting bribes, forging company seals, helping to forge evidence, and false litigation.
