The Supreme People's Procuratorate has arrested 4 "tigers" in 4 days!
On August 26, the Guanhai Liberation Bureau learned from the Supreme People's Procuratorate that Peng Bo, former deputy director of the Office of the Central Leading Group for the Prevention and Handling of Cult Issues, was suspected of accepting bribes and had been arrested by decision.
Earlier, on August 23, Song Liang, former member of the Standing Committee of the Gansu Provincial CPC Committee, former deputy secretary of the party group and vice governor of the provincial government, was arrested; on August 24, Meng Yongshan, former secretary of the party group and chief procurator of the Qinghai Provincial People's Procuratorate, and Wang Fuyu, former secretary of the party group and chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, were decided to arrest.
Peng Bo was investigated on March 13 this year. He is the first "tiger" to fall after the two sessions of the National People's Congress in 2021.
Public resume shows that Peng Bo, male, Han ethnicity, born in March 1957, from Nanxian County, Hunan Province, began working in January 1974, joined the Communist Party of China in October 1980, graduated from the School of Economics of Peking University, majoring in finance, on-the-job graduate degree, doctorate in economics.
According to The Liberation Daily, Peng Bo has served in the media for a long time, successively serving as the editor and deputy director of the International Department of China Youth Daily, the deputy editor-in-chief of China Industry and Commerce Times, the deputy editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief, president, and party secretary of China Youth Magazine, the vice president and deputy editor-in-chief of China Youth Publishing (General) And the chief editor of the Central Network Film and Television Center of the Communist Youth League.
From May 2006 to August 2012, Peng Bo served as deputy director of the Fifth Bureau, Director of the Ninth Bureau and Director of the Tenth Bureau of the Central Foreign Propaganda Office, and in September 2012, he was appointed full-time deputy director of the State Internet Information Office.
According to his resume, Peng Bo was a former subordinate of "Tiger" Lu Wei, who was appointed director of the State Internet Information Office in April 2013.
Lu Wei and Peng Bo have attended the event together many times.
For example, on August 8, 2013, Lu Wei and Peng Bo had a discussion with Internet celebrities. At that time, Liao Jue, Xue Manzi and others participated in the discussion.
At the time, Lu Wei said he hoped that online celebrities would assume more social responsibility, because their online words and deeds would affect more people.
Ironically, on the same month of that meeting (August 28, 2013), Xinhua nets announced that Beijing police had successively dismantled a number of prostitution dens in the Anhui Beili area of Chaoyang District, and arrested 27 suspects of violating the law, including the widely publicized Internet big V "Xue Manzi" (Chinese "Xue Biqun", a Chinese-American). After further investigation by the police, "Xue Manzi" not only prostituted himself, but also suspected of gathering crowds for sexual immorality.
In addition to Xue Manzi, in August 2015, after the Supreme People's Procuratorate designated jurisdiction, the Henan Provincial People's Procuratorate filed a case against Liao Jue, president of People's Network Co., Ltd., on suspicion of bribery and took compulsory measures.
Two years later, in November 2017, Lu Wei, former deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, was investigated.
According to a report on the official website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, Lu Wei was accused of violating the rules and deceiving the central authorities, acting in a disorderly manner, acting arbitrarily, arbitrarily deliberating on the central authorities, interfering with the central authorities' inspections, inflating his ambitions, using public instruments for private use, unscrupulously creating a situation for himself, having bad conduct, anonymously falsely accusing others, forming gangs and factions, and engaging in "small circles"; seriously violating the spirit of the eight central regulations and the discipline of the masses, frequently going in and out of private clubs, engaging in a large number of privileges, and having a rough and arbitrary work style; violating organizational discipline, not truthfully explaining problems when organizing conversations and inquiries; violating honesty and discipline. Abusing power for personal gain and collecting money to amass wealth; violating work discipline and selectively implementing the central authorities' strategic arrangements for network information work; abusing power for lust and having no shame.
In 2019, Lu Wei was sentenced to 14 years in prison. The court found that he had amassed 32 million yuan in a number of positions, including the director of the State Internet Information Office.
Back to Peng Bo.
In August 2015, Peng Bo was dismissed from his post as deputy director of the State Internet Information Office, and subsequently served as a former member of the Central Commission for Comprehensive Management of Public Order, the head of the Central Political and Legal Commission's Coordination Group for Responding to and Handling Online Public Opinion and Handling According to Law, and the former deputy director of the Office of the Central Leading Group for Preventing and Handling Cult Issues.
In 2018, the "Plan for Deepening the Reform of Party and State Institutions" was issued, which transferred the responsibilities of the Central Leading Group for Preventing and Handling Cult Problems and its office to the Central Political and Legal Commission and the Ministry of Public Security.
Zheng Zhijun noted that from July 6 to September 5, 2016, the 14th Inspection Group of the Central Committee conducted a special inspection of the former Office of the Central Leading Group for Preventing and Handling Cult Problems.
Feedback at that time pointed out that the office of the Central Leading Group for Preventing and Handling Cult Problems "some leading cadres are not politically adept enough and have insufficient political discernment, and they need to further strengthen the prediction and response to some major sensitive events, "the ideological and political work is not deep enough, the management of the contingent is not strict enough, and the selection and employment of personnel is not standardized enough."
On August 17, Peng Bo's problem was also officially disclosed for the first time.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission reported that Peng Bo "deviated from the decision-making and deployment of the party Central Committee on waging the struggle for public opinion on the Internet, gave up the management of the Internet front, used public instruments for private purposes, relied on the Internet to eat the Internet, resisted organizational censorship, and engaged in superstitious activities."
In addition, he was also accused of entering and leaving private clubs in violation of regulations, accepting banquets at public expense in violation of regulations; failing to report personal matters in accordance with regulations; engaging in power and money transactions without any discipline and law bottom line, seeking benefits for his relatives' business activities; taking advantage of his position to seek benefits for others in the operation of other enterprises, and illegally accepting huge amounts of money.
On August 16 and 17, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection dealt with seven "tigers" in succession.
On 17 August, the official website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission announced that Peng Bo, former deputy director of the Office of the Central Leading Group for Preventing and Handling Cult Problems, Xie Changjun, former deputy general manager of The China Guodian Group Corporation, and Zhang Xinqi, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Shandong Provincial People's Congress, were all expelled from the party for serious violations of discipline and the law.
A day earlier, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission issued a circular on the punishment of four central management cadres: Wang Fuyu, former secretary of the party leading group and chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was expelled from the party for serious violations of discipline and the law; Song Liang, former member of the Standing Committee of the Gansu Provincial CPC Committee and executive vice governor of Gansu Province, was expelled from the party and from public office for serious violations of discipline and the law; Meng Yongshan, former secretary of the party group and chief procurator of the Qinghai Provincial People's Procuratorate, was expelled from the party and public office for serious violations of discipline and the law; and Liu Xinyun, former vice governor of Shanxi Province and former director of the Public Security Department, was expelled from the party and public office for serious violations of discipline and the law.
The above-mentioned 7 central management cadres all have problems such as illegally accepting huge amounts of money and property and abusing their power for personal gain. Among them, Peng Bo, Xie Changjun, Zhang Xinqi, Wang Fuyu, Song Liang and other 5 people also mentioned that they had "resisted the organization's review" behavior.
Up to now, Peng Bo, Wang Fuyu, Meng Yongshan, and Song Liang have been arrested.
