CCTV news: Many people are deeply impressed by "Ding Yizhen" in this year's anti-corruption hit drama "In the Name of the People", and the deputy mayor, who was once "unlimited scenery", fled abroad but was reduced to washing dishes in restaurants, and even lost his life safety and personal freedom. In fact, "Ding Yizhen" is the true portrayal of most of the absconding officials. They once lived a life of "eating in gold and jade, hugging before and after", but after fleeing, they hid their names and lived a life of "prisoners". Regret, anxiety, torment, loneliness, despair... This is the word that absconding officials say the most after they are caught.
Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has achieved important stage victories in the work of chasing down fugitives and recovering stolen goods. As of July 31, 2017, China has recovered 3,246 fugitives from more than 90 countries and regions through the "Skynet" operation, including 597 former state workers, and recovered 9.35 billion yuan of stolen funds.
In order to avoid being pursued, they have no fixed place to live and travel from place to place
In April 2015, Dai Xuemin, former deputy general manager of the China Economic Development Trust and Investment Corporation and general manager of the Shanghai Securities Business Department, was arrested and arrested. Fourteen years ago, Dai Xuemin absconded from the country on suspicion of using his position to facilitate the embezzlement of huge sums of money.
Dai Xuemin first fled to Hong Kong, and after a short stay, arrived in the United States via South Korea, hoping to immigrate to the United States and gain more asylum for the escape. But immigration officers had doubts about their true intentions, and the immigration application was unsuccessful.
In August 2001, Dai Xuemin fled to Belize, and at the end of October of the same year, he arrived in the United Kingdom, and his wife and children subsequently arrived in the United Kingdom with Belize passports. During his time in Britain, Dai Xuemin successively engaged in the analysis and collation of materials in securities companies and libraries, and after paying the rent, he could only barely make ends meet. The poor life made his wife unbearable, and eventually chose to divorce Dai Xuemin and left the UK with her son. "In the first two years of going abroad, life was full of hardships and hardships, and it was difficult to say that I was sad." "In foreign countries, no matter where you go, you will always miss your parents, siblings and relatives and friends from time to time, there is no family connection, just like a broken kite fluttering around, there is no sense of homecoming, and the feeling of loneliness and helplessness often occurs."
After 14 years of absconding, Dai Xuemin was arrested in Hefei, Anhui Province, becoming the first person to be arrested after the announcement of the "100 Red Notice Personnel". He said that he already knew the arrival of this day. "I also have the dream of returning to China to spend the rest of my life, so I am determined to come back, no matter what the result is, I must also come back."
On July 12, 2016, the Nanjing Intermediate People's Court sentenced Dai Xuemin to six years' imprisonment for embezzlement in accordance with law.
Chen Jincheng was interrogated in a detention center
Also fleeing with great painstaking efforts was Chen Jincheng, former vice chairman and general manager of the Zhejiang Coastal Railway Co., Ltd. and commander of the Ningbo Hub Headquarters of the Shanghai Railway Bureau (at the level of deputy department). In April 2010, Chen Jincheng was investigated by the Nanchang Railway Branch of the Jiangxi Provincial Procuratorate on suspicion of accepting bribes. On April 20 of the same year, Chen Jincheng fled.
Chen Jincheng had a certain anti-reconnaissance ability and carefully planned the escape route.
During the absconding process, he threw away his mobile phone and interrupted all contact with his family. Along the way, he only took the car and did not use an ID card. Due to long-term dealings with construction enterprises, we know that the construction site is a weak link in supervision, so every time he goes to a place, Chen Jincheng picks the scattered work on the construction site and changes places after a period of time, which is very cautious.
This former deputy department-level cadre traveled between more than ten cities in China, worked as a weaver, porter, and mixer, pierced steel bars, picked cement, dug foundations, earned tens of yuan to more than a hundred yuan a day, lived in a work shed, ate a box lunch, and wore old clothes that others did not want.
In 2015, after five years of hiding in Tibet, Chen Jincheng came to Wuhan by bus from Jingmen, Hubei Province, and lived in his nephew's house. He has a fixed task every day, which is to go to the kindergarten near the community to pick up his niece and granddaughter to go home. On September 2, when he opened the door as usual, he saw the police crouching at the door.
At the moment of being arrested, Chen Jincheng did not have any special panic. He said: I feel solid, and finally I don't have to worry about it anymore!
Absconding, they were either killed or wounded
In 2015, the central government launched the "Skynet" operation, exposing "100 red notices" personnel. Fu Yaobo, former chief of the case trial section of the Labor and Social Security Supervision Detachment of Benxi City, Liaoning Province, is a wanted member.
Fu Yaobo, a suspect in the "100 Red Notices," was arrested and brought to justice
In September 2014, Fu Yaobo fled abroad on suspicion of joint embezzlement of 19.3 million yuan of public funds. He suffered from high blood pressure, stomach ulcers and gallstones before his escape. During his escape from Shengge, Fu Yaobo's colon was often in excruciating pain, and he did not dare to go to the hospital. He traveled to 5 countries for 13 days, living in an extremely dilapidated hotel on the way, with no glass in the doors and windows, the temperature in the house was above 35 ° C, only relying on a small ventilation fan for ventilation, and the fever did not go away for several days. Upon arrival at your destination, your first meal is 1 boiled carrot. The rented house has no screen windows, and it is necessary to endure a large number of mosquito bites when the windows are opened, and only long-sleeved clothes and pants can be worn at 34 ° C to 35 ° C. Suffering from illness, he often shed tears secretly.
In February 2016, police captured the "100 Red Notice" Suspect No. 39 in the mountains on the outskirts of Kingston, the capital of the Caribbean island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. When the police knocked on the door, Fu Yaobo said, "In the 16 months of my flight, I was tormented every day in the days of fear, illness and homesickness, and I often thought that such a day was better to go back to China and go to prison, and I immediately expressed my willingness to return to China to be investigated." ”
Fu Yaobo, who had been tortured, waited to return to China and go to prison. This is the best outcome for corrupt people who have fled overseas, because some people can only end up in a foreign country.
Gu Zhenfang, a former cashier of the Wujing Maritime Department of the Shanghai Maritime Safety Bureau, took advantage of his position to embezzle more than 920,000 yuan of public funds and fled to Thailand in October 2000, where he was chased by the judicial authorities for many years. Investigators learned through Operation Skynet that after Gu Zhenfang fled into Bangkok, Thailand, she married a Thai who was blind in her right eye and disabled. In 2006, faced with the dilemma of running out of savings and losing her husband's unemployment, Gu Zhenfang decided to go out to work and earn money. Unexpectedly, on the first day of work, when cleaning in the corporate dormitory, I accidentally electrocuted and died.
Wang Zhenzhong, former deputy director of the Fuzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau in Fujian Province, fled the United States in May 2002 over bribery and other issues. Underworld figures who had previously been blackmailed by Wang Zhenzhong in Fuzhou entrusted the American underworld to seek the extorted money from him, and threatened to cut off his mistress's hands and feet without paying it back. In order to protect his mistress, Wang Zhenzhong had to live separately from her. Wang Zhenzhong, who was blackmailed, lived alone, went out to hide from the police, and when he met an old friend, he could only look down and pretend not to see it. Half a year later, the mistress met a billionaire overseas Chinese who abandoned him. In the second half of 2005, Wang Zhenzhong, who was depressed, was diagnosed with liver cancer. During his illness, his mistress did not come to see him once. In June 2007, Wang Zhenzhong died of cancer in New York, leaving a sentence before dying: "Everything is retribution..."
Unable to escape their inner torment, they chose to surrender themselves
In 2016, Yi Tuke, former deputy secretary-general of the Guang'an Municipal People's Government and director of the Guang'an Municipal Transportation Bureau, surrendered himself. In April 2002, Ettuk chose to abscond during the period under review for allegedly accepting bribes. During the 14 years of absconding, Yi Tuke successively traveled to Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangzhou, Chongqing and other places, each of which did not dare to stay too long. In order not to be discovered, Yi Tuko broke off contact with family and friends, and he worked odd jobs in the city where he hid, selling newspapers, picking up scraps, and supporting himself on his meager income. There is no family, no friends, no fixed residence, and every day he endures the torment of loneliness, not even knowing that his mother has died. "I feel very uncomfortable in my heart and feel that I owe too much." In the interrogation room, Ituko could not hide his remorse. Not being able to see his mother for the last time was probably his lifelong regret. "After so many years, the biggest regret is that I chose to abscond." The spirited state cadres of that year had become depressed and decadent old men, and surrendering themselves was not a relief for him and his family.
Unable to bear the torment of the heart, Xu Li, former director of the Wage Distribution Center of the Finance Bureau of Anxiang County, Hunan Province, and director of the Social Control Office, also chose to surrender herself. In 2011, Xu Li absconded on suspicion of embezzlement. After escaping to Thailand, Xu Li did not dare to go out during the day, and at night she had nightmares, either dreaming of being caught, or dreaming of her daughter crying and shouting "Mother is back", and every time she woke up crying. The language barrier, no relatives, no friends, "the severe pain of giving up family affection and the coldness of the single shadow tormented me like a demon, and in the two months I fled to Thailand, my face was pale, my hair fell out, and I lost more than 20 pounds." After three years of hardship, in July 2014, Xu Li returned from Thailand and surrendered herself.
Wang Guoqiang, former secretary of the Fengcheng City Party Committee in Liaoning Province
The lonely life, the fear in the heart, the anxiety of the spirit, and the longing for their families have made these fleeing corrupt officials embark on the road home. In April 2012, Wang Guoqiang, former secretary of the Fengcheng Municipal Party Committee in Liaoning Province, and his wife left Shenyang Airport for the United States without authorization, and lost contact with China after leaving the country. In June 2012, the People's Procuratorate of Sujiatun District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, opened a case against Wang Guoqiang on suspicion of accepting bribes. On December 22, 2014, Wang Guoqiang returned to China and surrendered himself.
In the article "Confessions of Fleeing Corrupt Elements" published on the website of the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Wang Guoqiang described his overseas absconding life as follows: "Many idioms have made me really understand the connotations in the past two years and eight months, such as wandering the world, desperate world, life is better than death, lingering breathing, street rats, etc. These words I feel with my body and mind. The two-year and eight-month absconding life was like 28 years later, and he did not dare to contact anyone, not even his daughter in the United States. His father-in-law and his wife's sister died one after another during this period, and neither of them was able to see each other for the last time.
During his time in the United States, Wang Guoqiang and his wife lived in a small roadside hostel of less than ten square meters, and did not dare to leave the house all day, and only in the evening did they dare to walk to the supermarket to buy some food. I picked up the cheapest food to buy, often fed with bread, and never bought clothes. There was everyone in the hostel, and he and his wife were terrified, always imagining and preparing for the unexpected, worried about the day when someone would be punched to death or chopped to death. At one point, his blood pressure was as high as 200, and he did not dare to go to the doctor, not even to buy medicine, because in the United States to buy drugs for treatment requires a prescription, and he needs to hold a passport to see a doctor. When he had a heart attack, he could only struggle to sit half on a small chair on the side of the road, his heart area and his entire back were in excruciating pain, full of cold sweat, and he did not even have the strength to cry out for help. My wife slept only four hours a night, washed her face with tears all day, and later, her eyeballs hardened.
After this "long" twenty-eight months, Wang Guoqiang used his own personal experience to advise those who fled the country that money is not omnipotent, and the inner world is the most important. Fleeing is a dead end!
General Secretary Xi Jinping once stressed: "Five, ten, twenty years must be pursued, and the back road of corrupt elements must be cut off." Since the establishment of the Central Office of Fugitive Pursuit in June 2014, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and the close cooperation of various departments, the records of "fighting tigers", "shooting flies" and "hunting foxes" have been repeatedly refreshed, and skynets have been cast to more than 90 countries and regions... The international pursuit of fugitives and the recovery of stolen goods against corruption is an important component part of the work of comprehensively and strictly administering the party, improving the party's work style and building a clean and honest government, and anti-corruption work, and is an important link in curbing the breeding and spread of corruption. The legal net was restored, and the corrupt officials who fled could hide their bodies, but they could not hide from the torment of the heart. People always have to pay for their mistakes, rather than hiding in Tibet, it is better to change their mistakes and embark on the journey home as soon as possible.
