The case was put on file for investigation by the Public Security Bureau according to public security cases. According to the provisions of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law on withdrawal, the people's police should withdraw if they are the parties to the case or their close relatives. The close relatives of the parties in this case are cadres of the procuratorate, not policemen of the public security bureau. Is this unnecessary to avoid? You shouldn't be suspended?
As the national legal supervision organ, the procuratorate has the right to supervise the administrative law enforcement activities of the Public Security Bureau in addition to the legal supervision of civil administrative litigation and criminal litigation according to law.
The Xincheng Branch of Pingdingshan Public Security Bureau, which handled the case, is located in Xinhua District, Pingdingshan City. In fact, Pingdingshan Public Security Bureau is also in Xinhua District. Xinhua District Procuratorate has legal supervision over the handling of cases by public security organs within its jurisdiction, and the cadres involved in the procuratorate are deputy chief procurators of Xinhua District Procuratorate in Pingdingshan City. Xinhua District Procuratorate may receive reports from people or people related to this case. Then, in the process of accepting the report and handling the case, if it is a party to the case or a close relative of the party, it should voluntarily withdraw.
Although the case is not handled by the Deputy Procurator-General personally, nor is it necessarily in charge of the procuratorial supervision of administrative law enforcement by the public security organs, as a leading cadre of the procuratorate, the public may think that the impartiality of the case is affected because of his relationship with the parties. Therefore, according to previous public officials' public opinion cases, either the public officials involved were suspended or the case was investigated and handled in different places.
Therefore, in the briefing of Pingdingshan City Procuratorate, it is stated that "in order to support the public security organs to handle ... the network reflection incident is fair according to law", the post of deputy attorney general is tentatively set. However, the circular also mentioned that "it was ordered to cooperate with relevant departments to investigate". Then this is not just a suspension for avoidance.
According to news reports, the case happened on July 23rd, but it was not until August 19 that the mother-in-law of the Deputy Attorney General arrived, and her wife did not arrive until media reports and public discussion. Also on the same day, Xincheng Public Security Bureau and Xinhua District Procuratorate issued the above notice to respond to the public.
The deputy attorney general did not give a clear response to the reasons for his wife's delay in appearing in court and was discovered by the public. Her mother-in-law was arrested for intentional injury, and then she did not sue, which made the public doubt whether she used her powers to intervene and affected the public security organs in handling cases. The current Law on Administrative Punishment of Public Officials and the previous Regulations on Punishment of Civil Servants of Administrative Organs have relevant provisions. If a public official is suspected of violating the law and discipline and has been placed on file for investigation, he should not continue to perform his duties. The organ or unit that appoints or dismisses a public official may decide to suspend his post.
Therefore, Pingdingshan City Procuratorate and Xinhua District Committee suspended the post of Deputy Procurator-General and ordered him to cooperate with the investigation. This should be the normal handling procedure after the Deputy Attorney General is put on file for investigation. As for the investigation, it may include not only the incident that the bus driver was beaten, but also the handling of his mother-in-law case in the past.
However, what about the investigation? So far, no follow-up public reports have been seen on the Internet.
