Former information: Known as the "minister of underground organizations", her lover Yang Hong has also been commuted
In 2014, the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission publicly reported 10 typical cases of violations of discipline and law by political and legal cadres and policemen, including the bribery case of Yang Xiaoping, former deputy procurator general of the Yuci District People's Procuratorate in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province.
According to the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, since May 2008, Yang Xiaoping has taken advantage of her position to accept bribes of 1.58 million yuan from parties and trustees in five cases, accepted bribes of more than 17.91 million yuan in collusion with others, accepted bribes of 50,000 yuan by using influence, and other personal property of more than 40.05 million yuan and 1800 grams of gold cannot explain the source. At that time, Yang Xiaoping had been expelled from the party, dismissed from public office, and sentenced to life imprisonment, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property.
The Supreme People's Procuratorate also reported on Yang Xiaoping's criminal facts in 2014, including that Yang Xiaoping conspired with her lover, Yang Hong, the former secretary of the Lingshi County Party Committee in Shanxi Province, to illegally interfere in the bidding work of various projects in Lingshi County, and accepted bribes of more than 17.91 million yuan from Ren and others in order to ask ren and others to win the bid for benefits.
In 2000, Yang Hong, then the head of the organization department of Yuci District of Jinzhong City, met Yang Xiaoping and later developed a lover relationship, which yang Hong confessed in court until 2008.
On December 14, 2012, the Intermediate People's Court of Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, held a hearing on Yang Hong's case. According to media reports, the prosecutor showed in court a copy of Yang Hong's "Letter of Guarantee" written to Yang Xiaoping, which included "loyal to feelings, do not play slippery" and "XX income, all handed over".
It is reported that when he met Yang Hong, Yang Xiaoping was only a general clerk, and her husband was an ordinary working class. By the time of the crime, Yang Xiaoping was already deputy chief procurator of the Yuci District Procuratorate of Jinzhong City. According to media reports, this has a lot to do with Yang Hong, the lover of the then county magistrate of Lingshi County in Shanxi Province, and what Yang Xiaoping said, Yang Hong always "implemented" to the letter, so some people called Yang Xiaoping, who was promoted to deputy procurator general of Yuci District, "minister of underground organizations."
On July 31, 2013, the Supervision Department of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Shanxi Province held a press conference and reported that Yang Hong, former secretary of the Lingshi County Party Committee, took advantage of his position to seek benefits for others, alone or in collusion with others, illegally accepted money from others, and accepted bribes amounting to 25.84855 million yuan, and was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Jinzhong Intermediate People's Court according to law. After study and approval, it was decided to give Yang Hong the punishment of expulsion from the party and expulsion from public office.
Nandu reporter noted that according to the national court commutation, parole, temporary execution outside of prison information network in 2017, Yang Hong was proposed to commute from life imprisonment to 22 years in prison. On September 29, 2017, the Shanxi Provincial High People's Court ruled that Yang Hong's sentence was commuted to 22 years.
According to public information, Yang Hong was born in December 1958 and worked in Jinzhong after graduating from Shanxi Agricultural University until he fell. During the reign of Lingshi County, Yang Hong once changed the name of the local gypsum mountain to "Shi Gao Mountain" because of his superstitious belief in feng shui, which means that "whoever goes to Shi Shan Mountain, those who have no official can enter the Shi, and those who occupy the position can be promoted". More than a month after the name change, Yang Hong fell from power. Today, Gypsum Mountain has been changed back to its original name.
Commutation: Engaged in handmade paper bag work in prison, he was praised 6 times
According to the criminal ruling disclosed by the Intermediate People's Court of Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province on December 30, 2019, after trial, it was ascertained that Yang Xiaoping was able to admit guilt and repent, abide by prison rules and discipline, actively participate in studies, and strive to complete labor tasks during the commutation assessment period, and was praised by the prison six times, with a remaining score of 506 points.
The Intermediate People's Court of Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, held that the evidence provided by the enforcement organ was sufficient to prove that Yang Xiaoping had indeed shown repentance during the period of serving her sentence and reform, and met the conditions for commutation of sentence. However, the offender is a crime of public office, and the punishment for several crimes is sentenced to life imprisonment, and the reduction of sentence shall be severe in accordance with law.
Taking into account factors such as the nature and specific circumstances of his crime, the degree of social harm, the original sentence, his consistent performance after delivery for enforcement, and the performance of the property judgment, it was ruled that Yang Xiaoping should be reduced by seven months' imprisonment, and the sentence would be from June 30, 2017 to November 29, 2038.
Nandu reporter inquired about the national court commutation, parole, and temporary execution outside of prison information network and learned that on November 25, 2019, Shanxi Provincial Women's Prison submitted a proposal for Yang Xiaoping's commutation to the Intermediate People's Court of Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province.

In terms of production and labor, Yang Xiaoping is engaged in handmade paper bag craft positions, can actively participate in labor, abide by labor discipline, attendance rate of 100%, and strive to complete labor tasks, comprehensive evaluation is better. In addition, Yang Xiaoping's current punishment level is general management level, and she has received six prison commendations and 506 remaining points, which is indeed a manifestation of repentance and meets the conditions for commutation.
Nandu reporter noted that in 2017, Yang Xiaoping had received a commutation of sentence, and the sentence was reduced from life imprisonment to 22 years of fixed-term imprisonment.
According to the recommendation for commutation, Yang Xiaoping, born in 1966, was sentenced to life imprisonment, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property by the Intermediate People's Court of Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, on April 3, 2013, for accepting bribes, using influence to accept bribes, and for the crime of having a large amount of assets of unknown origin;
The offender appealed. On May 24, 2013, the Higher People's Court of Shanxi Province rejected the appeal and upheld the original judgment. On July 24, 2013, he was sent to Shanxi Provincial Women's Prison for reform. On June 30, 2017, the Higher People's Court of Shanxi Province ruled that the sentence was commuted to 22 years' imprisonment and deprivation of political rights to 10 years, with a sentence from June 30, 2017 to June 29, 2039.
