Since 2020, the special rectification of coal-related corruption in Inner Mongolia has attracted great attention from public opinion, and the fourth episode of the TV special film "Zero Tolerance" broadcast last night, "Systematic Governance", focused on the typical corruption in this field. The film reveals that the involvement of relatives and children of leading cadres in the coal field is one of the prominent phenomena in coal-related corruption cases. For example, Yun Lei, son of Yun Guangzhong, member of the Standing Committee of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Party Committee and secretary of the Hohhot Municipal Party Committee, and Yun Kaichen, son of Yun Mincheng, former deputy secretary of the party group and general manager of China Huadian Group Co., Ltd., once collaborated in coal "business." Some private coal enterprises "wholesale" coal to them at low prices, and then they sell them at high prices to "sit on the ground and collect money".
The corruption of the "Three Tigers" is all related to coal
Liu Xiaobin, deputy director of the 15th Review and Investigation Office of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission and the State Supervision Commission, said that since 2018, with the approval of the Party Central Committee, the State Supervision Commission of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission has successively filed a case review and investigation of five central management cadres in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and these corruption problems are related to coal. Through these cases, some deep-seated problems in the coal field in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have also been exposed.
Bai Xiangqun, a former secretary of the Wuhai Municipal Party Committee and a member of the inner Mongolia Autonomous Region government party group and vice chairman, was examined and investigated in April 2018 and sentenced to 16 years in prison in 2019. The feature film revealed that as many as 20 of the 37 bosses who paid bribes to Bai Xiangqun were involved in coal.
Yun Guangzhong, who served as mayor and secretary of the Ordos Municipal Party Committee, member of the Standing Committee of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Party Committee and secretary of the Hohhot Municipal Party Committee, was examined and investigated in June 2019 and sentenced to 14 years in prison in 2020. Of the nearly 100 million yuan in property he received from bribes, he received more than 37 million yuan from a coal-related enterprise.
Yun Citizen, former deputy secretary of the party group and general manager of China Huadian Group Co., Ltd., former vice chairman of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, was reviewed and investigated in October 2019; in 2021, after a public trial by the court in the first instance, the verdict will be announced at a later date. Of the more than 400 million yuan in bribes that the court found, the vast majority were related to Inner Mongolia.
The feature film points out that Bai Xiangqun, Yunguangzhong and Yun citizens have all served as "number one" in the coal-rich league cities, and one of the most important powers is the right to allocate resources. For coal business owners, whether it is to buy coal mines, replace coal fields, or promote coal conversion projects, government approval is required, which makes business owners have the need for "hunting" and also makes government officials have the conditions for rent-seeking. Among them, Bai Xiangqun said, "The biggest temptation is to decide, you approve this and that for the boss, you can't resist this temptation." ”
The feature film mentions that Hengtai Coal Co., Ltd. is a private enterprise in Ordos City, and in 2010 the company applied for a well field with larger reserves and better coal quality. The owner of the company, Tuo Lian, got acquainted with Yun Guangzhong's son and wife, and after coming to the door, Yun Guangzhong's wife gave him a hint. "His wife came up and said that there was a high-pressure tower in the yard, saying that it was very bad for people. After she said that, I knew what it meant. Hao Shenhai, a businessman involved in the case, recalled. When Hao Shenhai came to the door again, he dragged 2 million yuan in cash at a time with a suitcase. Since then, he has sent money and gifts to Yun Guangzhong's wife and son many times, totaling nearly 3 million yuan. Correspondingly, Hengtai Company successfully replaced it with a high-quality well field.
Children of high-ranking officials partner to "sit on the ground and collect money"
The feature film mentions that the relatives and children of many leading cadres are involved in the coal field, which is one of the prominent phenomena in coal-related corruption cases. Yun Guangzhong's son Yunlei and Yun Kaichen, the son of Yun Citizen, once colluded to do coal "business", which was essentially a huge bribe from his father in exchange for power.
Yun Kaichen said, "In order to please my father or to convey benefits, through the form of coal, let us buy at a low price and sell at a high price." Yunlei mentioned, "In fact, they are such a large coal enterprise, first of all, they are very familiar with my father, including Kaichen's father, they are actually very familiar." Without this resource, you can't connect, why do people give you wholesale prices? ”
According to the feature film, a private coal enterprise in Inner Mongolia "wholesale" coal to Yunlei and Yun Kaichen at a low price, and then sold by them at a high price, and the buyer is actually well contacted by this enterprise, and the whole process is handled by one hand. The so-called company opened by Yunlei and Yunkaichen actually has no personnel, no equipment, no funds, and no actual business activities, and only needs to sign a contract and go through a formality to get the so-called coal price difference and collect money effortlessly. In this regard, Yunlei, the son of Yun Guangzhong, said, "I want to do this thing cleverly, try to look at it and my father is not too directly related, I must operate it." ”
The feature film mentions that leading cadres have opened a convenient door for enterprises in the allocation of coal resources, project approval, etc., and enterprises have opened a convenient door for the relatives and children of relevant leading cadres to make profits, which seems to be legal and compliant on the surface, but in fact, the exchange of benefits is secretly completed through these "two doors". This company has been sending tens of millions of yuan in profits to Yunlei in this way for many years. Yun Guangzhong used his authority to fully support the approval and promotion of multiple projects such as coal-to-oil conversion and fire extinguishing coal.
In addition, the problem of corruption in the coal field has also spread to other fields such as transportation, land, and real estate, and some coal bosses have become rich, and then participated in road construction, land speculation, and house speculation, and power and money transactions have also been brought into it. Yun Kaichen, the son of Yun Citizen, was involved in real estate and road engineering construction in Inner Mongolia, and Yun Citizen greeted local officials on the one hand to help his son get land, and on the other hand, instructed Huadian Group's coal company to buy housing in the son company, so that his son could quickly accumulate huge wealth.
Cloud citizens also directly use the authority of the leaders of central enterprises to profit the family. For example, in the coal transportation highway project in Wulanchabu City, Yun Kaichen nominally cooperated with another company to build, but in fact, only through the power of his father, he obtained a loan of 300 million yuan from the trust company under Huadian Group, and he got half of the profits of the project. Qiu Yongsheng, a businessman involved in the case, said, "I was in charge of construction, he (Yun Kaichen) took back the 300 million yuan loan, and finally I built a road here, he got a person to manage the finances, and the more than 100 million yuan was taken away by him." ”
A total of 736 cases of coal-related corruption and 1,023 people were investigated and dealt with in the special rectification
In February 2020, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region launched special rectification. The inventory found that most of the areas with coal, the departments that manage coal, the enterprises involved in coal, and the coal blending projects have problems of violating the law or even violating the law, and the large stock of corruption, the wide range of the scope involved, and the number of people involved are shocking.
As of October 2021, the special rectification has investigated and dealt with a total of 736 coal-related corruption cases and 1,023 people, including 69 people at the department and bureau level and 243 people at the county and department level, investigated and handled 571 coal-related economic cases, arrested 839 criminal suspects, and recovered 52.388 billion yuan of economic losses, declaring an attitude of zero tolerance for corruption with unprecedented intensity. While forming a deterrent, it is necessary to strengthen the restraint and supervision of power through system building. The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has thoroughly analyzed the loopholes in the mechanism and system, cleaned up and abolished 863 old coal-related policy and regulation documents, and newly formulated 121 policy and regulation documents, making up for the shortcomings of the system and tightening the cage of the system.
