In recent years, a number of elderly officials have been investigated, including Li Wenxi, who is in his seventies, and has been called a classic example.
The retirement of these officials was not peaceful, but gave rise to many stories related to the law and the life of the people.
Now let's take a look at how Li Wenxi gradually became the "Li Tiger" of Liaoning's giant greed.
In 2009, Li Wenxi expressed his belief: "I believe in and adhere to this pursuit, that is, to become the doorman and husband of the people of the province, so that the people of the province can live a peaceful life." ”
However, by early 2021, Li Wenxi's son and nephew were arrested one after another.
By 2023, Li Wenxi, who is over 73 years old, will become the first big tiger to be sentenced to death, with a two-year reprieve.
In contemporary society, the death penalty is not common, and usually only those who have committed serious crimes, seriously endangering the people and national security and interests, will be sentenced to such a serious crime.
In his old age, what serious mistakes did a person make to be sentenced to death?
Li Wenxi was born in March 1950 in a poor family in Benxi, Liaoning Province.
In his memory, there was a time when his family and neighbors clashed.
During this conflict, neighbors insulted their families, calling them poor ghosts.
Li Wenxi's parents had no choice but to turn to the local government, hoping to solve this problem.
However, local government staff repeatedly delayed and were unwilling to resolve the matter.
This incident deeply stung Li Wenxi's heart.
He vowed to succeed through his own efforts to lift himself out of poverty.
However, after he became famous, he used his authority to seek benefits for his relatives, suppress competitors, disrupt market order, and abuse his position to interfere in the development of Yuan Cheng's family's business.
According to the investigation, Li Wenxi used his power to intervene in the market and suppress the rival Yuan Chengjia for the sake of his relatives for personal gain.
His younger brother Li Wen'an used Li Wenxi's influence to demand that Yuan Cheng's family not transfer mines worth tens of millions to others, otherwise they would suffer retaliation.
In 2010, the leader of Yuan's family became a member of a gang involved in the gang and was convicted of illegal activities.
However, unexpectedly, in 2017, Yuan Cheng's family filed a claim with the public security organs, it turned out that Li Wenxi's younger brother used Li Wenxi's power to retaliate against Yuan Cheng's family and illegally occupied Yuan Cheng's property.
Li Wenxi also used his position as the head of the public security department to evade punishment for others and help enterprises in production and operation and mining procedures, and made personal gains. He took the opportunity to amass wealth and indulged in the vortex of power.
In addition, Li Wenxi also provides assistance to relevant enterprises in projects such as police equipment procurement and police training, so as to gain wealth.
According to Li Wenxi's own disclosure, as early as 2004, he began to embark on the road of corruption, far from his original intention, and finally deviated from his original purpose.
At first, Li Wenxi was a good official who was praised by the people, and no matter what situation the people encountered, he would rush to the scene as soon as possible and personally solve the problem for the people.
As the people's voice grew louder and louder, his heart became more and more arrogant and vain.
Until he felt that his savings and his meager monthly salary were not commensurate with his status, he began to have evil thoughts.
After assuming the post of public security department, Li Wenxi wantonly collected mine fees in the name of rectifying the mine, ostensibly to maintain public order, but in fact he was asking the mine operator for no reason to get in trouble in order to obtain benefits and bribes.
Some mine owners could not bear this kind of disguised exploitation and blackmail, so they deliberately transferred the right to operate the mine, and this was exactly in Li Wenxi's heart, as long as the mine owner wanted to transfer the right to operate, Li Wenxi's nephew became the preferred recipient.
As time passed, Li Wenxi's greed gradually expanded, and his desires became more and more endless.
Although his actions were illegal, he thought he was maintaining law and order and felt no guilt for what he had done.
In reality, however, he was just fooling himself.
In order to expand his "business", he did not hesitate to deviate from his original intention, entangled with the underworld forces, became the umbrella of the underworld forces, wantonly sought benefits from power and money transactions, and recklessly amassed wealth.
Even after retiring, he remained unrepentant, still enthusiastic about corruption, and used his connections in the public security system to continue running his "business."
According to verification, from the first huge bribe Li Wenxi received in 2004 to 2021, he illegally obtained a huge wealth of more than 546 million yuan through illegal means to obtain positions for others, interfere in business operations, handle mining procedures and abuse judicial power, which is really surprising.
Ironically, in an interview with the media in 2009, Li Wenxi claimed that he would do his duty to serve the people of Liaoning Province as the head of the public security department.
However, looking back now on these shameless words can only make one feel embarrassed and further realize his greed.
On January 6 this year, Li Wenxi was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for accepting bribes, taking into account his significant meritorious performance.
Upon completion of the two-year probation, the sentence will be life imprisonment, life imprisonment without commutation or parole.
With Li Wenxi's investigation, the central government also launched an investigation process against officials around him who often worked together.
The investigation revealed a deep network of connections in Li Wenxi's public security system, where his old subordinates followed him for a decade and were prosecuted for his involvement in huge corruption.
People like to use "Li Laohu" to describe Li Wenxi, which truly shows his courageous personality.
If he uses this courage to do good and practical things for the people, he will surely become an excellent official.
However, power and desire eventually blinded Li Wenxi, and he gradually tried to use the power granted to him by the people, gradually approaching the brink of corruption, and finally became the person who fell from a high position.
