At 8 p.m. on January 19, the last episode of the five-episode TV special "Zero Tolerance", "Forever on the Road", was broadcast, revealing the details of how Zhang Qi, the former secretary of the Haikou Municipal Party Committee, accepted bribes through his wife and children and immediately sent his son and daughter-in-law to flee after being investigated.

"I regret it very much and I don't think I can get away with these issues. I didn't expect to end up like this. Zhang Qi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and former secretary of the Haikou Municipal Party Committee, said.

Taking bribes through wives and children

In March 2020, the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that Zhang Qi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and former secretary of the Haikou Municipal Party Committee, had seriously violated many of the party's disciplines, constituting a serious violation of official duties and suspected of accepting bribes, and had been expelled from the party and punished with public office, and transferred to the judicial organs. In December 2020, the court sentenced Zhang Qi to life imprisonment. After investigation, he used his authority to help others in land development, project contracting, project promotion and other matters, and accepted bribes of more than 107 million yuan. When Zhang Qi accepted the money, he tried to evade supervision through seemingly legal means and complicated tricks.

In terms of power and money trading objects, Zhang Qi specially screens bosses whose enterprises are not too large and have been in contact with him for a long time, believing that this can reduce risks.

In terms of power and money transactions, of the more than 100 million yuan that Zhang Qi accepted bribes, he directly accepted less than 2 million yuan, and the rest were received through his wife and son, and he used "business investment" as a pretext. After the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the central authorities explicitly prohibited the spouses, children, and spouses of leading cadres from doing business and running enterprises within their jurisdiction.

Zhang Qi said: "I asked her not to run a company, in fact, she was transferred to someone else, and she was still operating." ”

Zhao Junwei, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, pointed out: "Zhang Qi's wife Qian Ling and Zhang Qi can be said to be typical of the front shop and the back factory. After he seeks benefits for the boss and the developer, he finds the right opportunity to introduce his family to the boss, and then the boss also knows it and gives him benefits. ”

The wife accepted tens of millions of yuan in bribes under the packaging of "stock trading and wealth management"

In terms of the specific means of power and money transactions, Zhang Qi uses a variety of seemingly legal shells to package. During his tenure as secretary of the Sanya Municipal Party Committee, he launched a landscape improvement project on a main road, a project with a target amount of hundreds of millions of yuan, and Zhang Hailin, chairman of the winning enterprise, was a related household with Zhang Qi who had interests. On the one hand, Zhang Qi let his wife accept tens of millions of yuan in bribes from Zhang Hailin's enterprise under the packaging of seemingly legal economic behaviors such as "stock speculation" and "financial management"; on the other hand, he covered up the essence of the project approved by Zhang Hailin through superficially compliant bidding procedures.

Zhang Qi said: "I was there, he did two projects, one is the East Coast Wetland Park, one is the transformation of this road, the surface is bidding, in fact, Zhang Hailin once came to my wife, asked me to dinner, to talk about this matter, I told him who you go to find, bidding for a formality." ”

Son receives $100,000 "living expenses" from businessmen at the graduation ceremony

In addition to his wife, Zhang Qi also pulled his son Zhang Yan into the power and money transaction. In 2012, Zhang Qi went abroad to attend his son's college graduation ceremony and let his son accept for the first time a $100,000 "living expenses" from a boss who accompanied him.

At the crossroads of his son's graduation from college and into society, Zhang Qi used his "demonstration" to teach his son the first corruption lesson in his life, and thus brought his son to a road of no return that violated discipline and the law.

After Zhang Yan returned to China and proposed to do business, Zhang Qi introduced various bosses to him, and once again "borrowed" from the boss to give his son as capital. These so-called "borrowings" naturally have not been repaid. Zhang Yan soon became accustomed to relying on his father for nothing, and also began to take the initiative to ask the boss.

Liu Lifeng, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, said: "During his son's life in Canada, he asked his boss for money and money, asked for hundreds of thousands of Canadian dollars to buy a luxury car, and within a few days the car crashed, and then went to ask others for more than 100,000 Canadian dollars to repair the car." ”

Zhang Qi also asked Chen Xuehui, the owner of Hainan Hengrui Industrial Development Co., Ltd., to invest in haikou and Shenzhen to buy two properties for his son, and the purchase price of this sea-view house in Shenzhen reached 35 million yuan. Zhang Qi used his authority to help Chen Xuehui's company in contracting projects and resolving land disputes. In order to cover people's eyes and ears, the property has been placed under the name of Chen Xuehui Company without transferring, in 2019, Zhang Qi felt that the organization was investigating himself, and arranged for Chen Xuehui to cover up in many ways.

Ma Wei, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, said: "The key to this property is in the hands of Zhang Qi's son, and in order to evade investigation, he replaced the door lock for Chen Xuehui, and on the other hand, he asked Chen Xuehui to renovate the house and arrange for Chen Xuehui's subordinates to live in it, so as to confirm that this house is not his." ”

Feeling that they would be investigated, they immediately sent their sons and daughters-in-law out of the country to hide

In 2019, a boss who was close to Zhang Qi was retained, and Zhang Qi had a premonition that he might pull himself out and began to find ways to resist the organizational investigation.

Liu Lifeng, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, said: "After he learned of the situation, he arranged for his son and daughter-in-law to flee to Canada the next day, and also tried to cut the relationship between him and Qian Ling, that is, to protect himself." A number of private entrepreneurs with whom he had illicit economic dealings were contacted and asked them to leave the country to take refuge. ”

In September 2019, Zhang Qi was filed for review and investigation and taken into custody. Because of the huge amount of money involved in his son's case, China issued a red notice to the world, and Zhang Qi deeply regretted it.

Zhang Qi said: "I especially regret this matter, and I also hope to tell my son that he is still young, don't give up on himself, and can return to China as soon as possible to surrender himself." ”

Ma Wei, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, also said: "Zhang Qi actually regretted letting his son escape in the later stage, and he hoped that during the period of review, he could persuade his son to come back. ”

Zhang Yan has been hiding in Tibet overseas with a red notice on his back, but many bosses who fled at the behest of Zhang Qi quickly recognized the situation and took the initiative to return to China to cooperate with the investigation. When the power money transaction was found out one by one, Zhang Qi reflected on what he had brought to his wife and son, and how his parents demanded of him.

"I ruined this family, which was originally a family of four generations of the same family, old and young, and now it is fragmented." As a man, be loyal and filial, I am not only unable to be loyal to the country, but also a sinner of the country, and I cannot fulfill filial piety. Zhang Qi deeply repented.
