The Paper reporter noticed that an important reason for his light sentence was that he exposed that Ma Yong, the former secretary of Yiyang Municipal Committee, was sentenced to 12 years in August last year for accepting bribes and abusing his power, so he was recognized as a "significant meritorious service".
Ma Yong's case attracted national attention, not because the man received more than 3 million yuan, but because he intervened in the judiciary after receiving the money, which led to the two sons of businessman Hu being given a lighter sentence or even suspended sentence.
Last year, the Central Political and Legal Committee publicly reported seven typical cases of leading cadres interfering in the administration of justice, and the Ma Yong case was the first.
Just as the National People's Congress was being held, the businessmen sent the BRICS to the official residence of the secretary.
Recently, the first-instance judgment of Chen Qing's bribery case was published, revealing that from 2007 to 20 12, he gave Ma Yong, then secretary of Yiyang Municipal Party Committee, property eight times, including HK$ 80,000, 3,800g of gold and 1 piece of "Earl" brand white women's watch. After appraisal, the value of gold and watches is RMB 6.5438+0.26 million.
The Paper reporter noticed that Ma Yong's office and home occupied 4 times and 3 times respectively, and the only exception occurred before the Spring Festival of 20 12. At that time, the Hunan Provincial People's Congress was being held, and Chen Qing drove from Yiyang to Changsha. Ma Yong, a representative of Hunan Provincial People's Congress, stayed in the suite and gave him two 500g gold bricks worth more than 350,000 yuan.
As for the matters he asked for, it was mainly the "Hong Kong City" project developed by his Zhongnan company. In terms of construction, demolition, land leasing return, tax reduction and exemption, Chen Qing * * * made a profit of more than 5 million yuan.
It must be pointed out that the project is still in an unfinished state. The media once disclosed a detail: once, a businessman let the wind out that the Secretary was going to visit Hong Kong. After the reporter arrived at the scene, he found that Ma Yong was the only one on the construction site, and there was no secretary. "It shows that this matter has not been recognized within the government."
Documentary evidence issued by the police shows that on February 5, 20 14, 14, Chen Qing was put on file for investigation by Hengyang Public Security Bureau for the crime of illegally transferring or reselling land use rights, and was arrested two days later. During the investigation, he voluntarily confessed the criminal facts of bribing Ma Yong. The reporter would like to remind you that Ma Yong had left Yiyang at that time, and now he is the deputy secretary-general of Hunan Provincial Party Committee, with the official department level. On 20th1May13rd, Ma Yong was dismissed for serious violation of discipline. At this point, it has been half a year since Chen Qing was arrested.
In the end, Chen Qing's exposure was verified to be true, and the defense lawyers thought that the crimes of others exposed by him had great influence in the whole country and should be regarded as significant meritorious service. The court of first instance agreed with this view, and the family actively returned the stolen goods, so they were sentenced to probation.
As for Ma Yong mentioned many times above, according to public information, he is a 60-year-old Chongqing native, and immediately went into politics there after finishing his studies in Hunan. At first, this person stayed in the statistical system for 20 years, from a cadre of a rural economic investigation team to being promoted to deputy director of the provincial statistics bureau.
In 2006, he left the provincial capital and became the mayor of Yiyang. Two years later, he was promoted to secretary of the municipal party Committee and returned to Changsha as deputy secretary-general of the provincial party Committee in 20 13.
A year and a half after the fall of the horse, in August last year, Ma Yong's bribery and abuse of power case was pronounced in Chenzhou Intermediate People's Court. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison, and his property was converted into RMB 3.68 million, which was confiscated and turned over to the state treasury.
The son of a businessman was sentenced to three years' probation for murder.
Ironically, as early as 20110, Ma Yong, then secretary of Yiyang Municipal Party Committee, had a conversation with Kan Kan, and even disclosed his family income: "The salary income is a little more than 5,000 yuan, and the annual income plus all kinds of manuscript fees is generally 80,000 yuan a year. To sum up, my income should be said to be better among the typical working-class people in China. "
In fact, it is her lover Wang Lan who is the spokesperson of her career, such as gas stations and gravel. A retired local cadre once pointed out that Wang Lan went directly to Ma Yong to go through the formalities of gas station examination and approval, and then resold it to a boss, earning 4 million yuan.
In addition, his other mistress opened a teahouse, which became his "second office". It is said that at that time, Yiyang city officials formed a kind of * * * knowledge, and the municipal party Committee compound could only go through the motions, and the real promotion was solved in the teahouse.
The opinion journalist found that the case of Ma Yong attracted much attention from the society, not because of the amount of bribes he took, nor because of the bad circumstances of his crime, but because, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, he illegally interfered with the administration of justice under the banner of intentional homicide, which eventually led to serious consequences of a felony and a light sentence.
On February 1 day, 2006, the Central Political and Legal Committee publicly notified seven typical cases of leading cadres intervening in the judiciary. The first case is Ma Yong's intervention in the "Hu Brothers Intentional Injury Case". The people's court newspaper believes that this is the most typical case investigated since the implementation of the Provisions of the Central Committee 15 on the Record, Notification and Accountability of Leading Cadres Intervening in Judicial Activities and Intervening in the Handling of Specific Cases.
The beginning of this murder case dates back to 20 12 1 1.4. At that time, the victim, Yuan Dali, had dinner with friends. Because he broke a stool, he had an altercation with the shopkeeper Hu. In the conflict, Hu's two sons, Hu and Hu Xunheng, stabbed Yuan Dali with daggers.
Surprisingly, on August 20 13 1 day, the Heshan District Court of Yiyang City sentenced Hu to five years' imprisonment, Hu Xunheng to three years' imprisonment and suspended for three years. According to the current criminal law, if intentional injury causes death, the starting point of punishment is ten years, and the maximum punishment is death. Why did the Hu brothers get a light sentence after killing?
It turned out that during the trial of the case, the defendant's lawyer submitted two pieces of evidence of meritorious service from the principal offender Hu, one of which was that he reported another person's crime at the detention center; The other is the third-class merit of Wenchuan earthquake relief. The media investigation found that the above-mentioned meritorious deeds were fraudulent, and the specific method was to "replace trees with flowers" and "do" the clues of a drug dealer to Hu.
In addition, another evidence is more meaningful: Yiyang Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce requested that the two defendants be given a lighter or mitigated punishment. You know, Hu's father, Hu, is the vice president of Yiyang Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce. It is worth mentioning that Chen Qing, the businessman who exposed Ma Yong, was then the president of Yiyang Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce.
The murder was retried and the sentence was changed. Nine people were sentenced in the public security law.
Chenzhou Intermediate People's Court found that the sentence was too light because Ma Yong, at Hu's request, "greeted" the relevant leaders of Yiyang City's political and legal organs about the murder of Hu's brothers from 20 12 to 20 13. Later, Ma Yong received RMB 6,543,800 and 654.38 grams of gold bars from Hu in the office.
However, Ma Yong said in court that he did not understand the case. "It happened at the end of 20 12, and I left Yiyang Provincial Committee in March of 20 13. Since then, I have never asked, and no one has introduced me. I don't know what case this is, and I don't know what crime I have sentenced. "
No amount of sophistry can change the fact. After the fall of Ma Yong, the murder of the Hu brothers was sent back for retrial. 2065438+August 2006, Chenzhou Intermediate People's Court pronounced that Hu was convicted of intentional homicide and sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment; Defendant Hu Xunheng was convicted of intentional homicide and sentenced to three years in prison.
Opinion Journalists noticed that in addition to Ma Yong, nine cadres of the political and legal system in Heshan District of Yiyang City were jailed for this. Specifically, Xie Deqing, the former president of the District Court, the former president of the First Criminal Court, the former chief of the Public Prosecution Section of the District Procuratorate, Li Xinjian, the former deputy chief of the Ziyang Branch of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Huang Zhiguo, the former captain of the Anti-drug Brigade, Fu Like, the former director of the First Detention Center, and the former police of the detention center. Their sentences range from 1 year to 4 months to 3 years.
As for the Hu brothers' father, Hu, he was convicted for helping to forge evidence and bribing Ma Yong for his son's case. He was sentenced to three years in prison and fined 654.38 million yuan.
The People's Court Daily pointed out that as early as 2065438+March 2005, the central government promulgated the Provisions on the Record, Notification and Responsibility Investigation of Leading Cadres Intervening in Judicial Activities and Handling Specific Cases, and set up a firewall between power and law. Interfering with the judiciary may make cadres lose their official hats.
Opinion Journalists found that the above provisions require judicial personnel to comprehensively and truthfully record the situation of leading cadres intervening in judicial activities and handling specific cases, so as to leave traces throughout the process and be well documented. In addition, the judicial organs should inform leading cadres of their intervention in judicial activities and the handling of specific cases every quarter. If necessary, you can report it immediately.
"To prevent similar powers from illegally interfering with judicial cases from repeating themselves, it is necessary to improve the mechanism and block the loopholes of illegal interference in the judiciary from the source; It is also necessary to cultivate the ability and responsibility of judicial personnel to eliminate illegal interference. " The commentary in The People's Court Daily pointed out that Ma Yong's case is a warning to the judiciary and society: don't be willful when asking questions, and those who illegally interfere with the judiciary should take Ma Yong as a warning.
At the same time, those who bend the law and are influenced by illegal interference should not expect those who illegally interfere in the judiciary to keep secrets for you, and bending the law will inevitably be punished by law.
Why do you want to do bad things when you have such a good starting point?
