I. Characteristics of current corruption cases
(1) Corruption subjects are diversified and familial. Diversification is manifested in "public bribery" (public-to-public bribery), collective interception, private distribution of public funds, arbitrary apportionment, arbitrary fines, arbitrary charges, and collective abuse of power for personal gain. Such cases generally involve a large number of people, great power, vertical pyramid-shaped development, horizontal spread, high status of criminal subjects, and an increase in corruption cases of party and government leaders; Corruption among leading cadres in the vertical system has increased. Familialization is mainly manifested in the fact that some leading cadres seem to be honest, but in fact they secretly instigate, condone and acquiesce their relatives to accept bribes, or their relatives set up companies and entities to operate behind the scenes and use their power (influence) to make huge profits for them.
(2) The fields of corruption are diverse and complex. Party and government organs are still the hardest hit areas, but other fields are also spreading, and the proportion of people involved in public institutions, state-owned enterprises and people's organizations is not low. Judging from the alleged crimes, public officials are most suspected of accepting bribes, followed by the crimes of abuse of power, corruption, misappropriation of public funds and huge amounts of property with unknown sources. Outstanding performance is: public money consumption, public property income generation, acceptance of "offering" and arbitrary charges by public institutions; Commercial bribery in the commercial field, such as explicit kickbacks and collusive bidding in project approval, forms the "hidden rules" of commercial operation; Sexual bribery is on the rise, and "sex transaction" and "money transaction" go hand in hand. According to relevant statistics, 95% of the corrupt officials investigated in recent years have "mistresses"; In the process of enterprise restructuring, state-owned assets are embezzled, stolen, privately divided and transferred, resulting in serious loss of state-owned assets; In the field of education, misappropriating educational funds, cheating in college entrance examination, going to college as an impostor, buying and selling diplomas, etc. In the field of medical and health care, drug kickbacks and accepting red envelopes make it difficult for people to seek medical treatment and the relationship between doctors and patients tense; In terms of personnel organization, there are violations of discipline and law in recruitment, appointment of professional titles, joining the army, transfer, distribution, placement and promotion to varying degrees; Interception, misappropriation, private distribution and various state special funds are common.
(3) The ways of corruption are "rationalization" and "legalization". When the corrupt objects commit violations of discipline and law, they always use high-sounding reasons and reasonable and legal excuses to make it difficult to distinguish right from wrong. The reason for local protection is to protect the investment environment; The reason for "centralized" is democratic centralism and so on. These abnormal phenomena of reversing right and wrong and confusing right and wrong are all the results of those corrupt elements armed with absurd theories, which are very confusing. The subjective self-protection function of those who violate discipline and law has been continuously enhanced. Before violating the law and discipline, they performed their duties under the banner of "justice" and "legality", and naturally they were not easily hindered; In the process of violating discipline and law, they profit from power, darken public power into private power, and can cheat the support of leaders and colleagues; After breaking the law and discipline, they often use the influence of their positions to openly or secretly resist the investigation of law enforcement departments, use intricate networks to excuse themselves, and do everything possible to cover up their violations.
(4) The means of corruption are hidden and intelligent. Corrupt subjects are generally highly educated and experienced, and some are familiar with the loopholes in electronic information technology, scope of responsibilities and industry management system and mechanism. The behavior of abusing power for personal gain is becoming more and more hidden, and the means of escaping from law and discipline is becoming more and more cunning. The way of committing crimes has changed from "impulsive" with greed and recklessness to "intelligent" with premeditated first and then premeditated.
(5) The situation of corruption is "two easy to occur". Judging from the situation in our province and our city, the outstanding performance is that "two cases are prone to occur frequently": First, cases of leading cadres violating discipline and law are still prone to occur frequently; On the other hand, problems that harm the vital interests of the masses are still prone to occur frequently, especially cases of violation of discipline and law in land acquisition and demolition, collective "three-capital", subsidies for benefiting farmers, and urban and rural subsistence allowances are more prominent.
