Ji Zhenhua, 62, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Luoyang Municipal People's Congress and former chairman of the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions, was ousted in March 2023: From 2019 to 2022, Ji Zhenhua repeatedly accepted banquets arranged by private entrepreneurs in the company's internal restaurant and drank high-end alcohol.
Drinking high-end wine with businessmen in the club is only the tip of the iceberg of Ji Zhenhua's violations of law and discipline.
On January 8, the (2023) Yu 12 Xingchu No. 11 verdict obtained by upstream news reporters showed that Ji Zhenhua took advantage of his position to seek benefits for others, as well as the convenience formed by his power or position, and sought illegal benefits for relevant units and individuals through the behavior of other state employees in his duties, and accepted property of 20,777,4914 yuan, which has constituted the crime of accepting bribes. On December 28, 2023, the Sanmenxia Intermediate People's Court ruled in the first instance that Ji Zhenhua was guilty of accepting bribes and sentenced to 11 years in prison, and returned more than 20.77 million yuan of illegal gains and handed them over to the state treasury.
According to local people in Luoyang, Ji Zhenhua, whose first education is a technical secondary school, worked hard at the grassroots level in his early years, became a deputy section-level secretary at the age of 28, became the secretary of the township party committee at the age of 30, and became the director of the government office at the deputy department level at the age of 32. After March 1998, Ji Zhenhua's position rose all the way, and successively served as the deputy county magistrate of Yichuan County, the deputy secretary of the Yichuan County Party Committee, the deputy secretary of the Luoning County Party Committee, the head of Jianxi District, the secretary of the Mengjin County Party Committee, the vice chairman of the Luoyang CPPCC, the deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Luoyang Municipal People's Congress, and the chairman of the Luoyang Federation of Trade Unions.
According to the verdict, after Ji Zhenhua took up the leadership position at the deputy department level, he had close contacts with businessmen and began to accept bribes. The two bosses of the Tantou gold mine alone paid bribes of more than 1,800 yuan. Shortly before his fall, he thought he could travel abroad and asked a businessman for a bribe of $10,000.
The gold mine invested 500,000 yuan in dry shares, which rose to 9 million yuan in 8 years
Ji Zhenhua accepted bribes up to 9 million yuan in a single transaction, and it was Wang who gave the money.
According to the resume, in 1981, 19-year-old Ji Zhenhua entered the Luanchuan Supply and Marketing Cooperatives after graduating from Henan Supply and Marketing School, and was transferred to the Organization Department of the Luanchuan County Party Committee five years later, and was promoted to Secretary of the Party Committee of Shizimiao Township, Luanchuan County in 1992, and in 1994, the 32-year-old Ji Zhenhua became a deputy department-level cadre and served as the director of the Luanchuan County Government Office.
According to local sources, Ji Zhenhua is the leader of Wang. In 1995, Wang served as the deputy director of Luanchuan County Gold Bureau and the manager of Tantou Gold Mine. Founded in 1988, the Gold Bureau strengthens industry management of gold enterprises in the county on behalf of the county government.
In 1995, Ji Zhenhua did something, and Wang was grateful to him.
Ji Zhenhua confessed that one day in 1995, Wang found him and said that the reserves of Tantou Gold Mine were close to exhaustion, and he wanted to engage in a variety of operations, and that the county-run enterprise Laojunshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Factory was short of funds, poor management, and was on the verge of bankruptcy. He reported to the county leaders, and the leaders thought it was a good thing, and then the county government held a meeting to study and settle the merger. ”
In 2003, after the restructuring of Tantou Gold Mine, it became a private enterprise, and Wang became an entrepreneur from an official and had a share of 5 million yuan.
Ji Zhenhua said that he wanted to take a stake in Tantou Gold Mine, and Wang took out 500,000 yuan of dry shares from his 5 million yuan shares. At the beginning of 2011, Wang withdrew his shares from Tantou Gold Mine, and realized 9 million yuan of 500,000 yuan in dry shares, and Wang deposited the money into the bank card of his wife Shen.
In April 2023, Ji Zhenhua confessed after he fell off the horse: "If you want to use money, I will ask my wife to find Shen Moumou, and in 2020, Shen Moumou gave this card to my wife." Since 2011, more than 7 million yuan has been used, and more than 1.5 million yuan is left. ”
According to the verdict, in 2006, Ji Zhenhua lived in a duplex building in Luoyang Jianye Forest Peninsula Community, and the purchase price of more than 830,000 yuan was paid by Wang. In 2014, Wang transferred the house to the name of Ji Zhenhua's wife. That year, Wang also bought Ji Zhenhua a car worth more than 220,000 yuan.
Wang paid a bribe of more than 10.05 million yuan to Ji Zhenhua, and Ji Zhenhua reciprocated him with a peach.
According to the verdict, Ji Zhenhua arranged Wang's niece to work at the Yichuan County Environmental Protection Bureau in violation of regulations. Local sources said that during Wang's operation of the Tantou gold mine, Ji Zhenhua helped coordinate many matters.
When he was in the limelight, he returned the 5 million yuan he had received bribes
In addition to having a close relationship with Wang, Ji Zhenhua also colluded with Zhang, the actual controller of Tantou Gold Mine. Zhang Mouxian is a local businessman in Luoyang, involved in minerals, real estate and other fields.
In 2003, when Wang gave Ji Zhenhua 500,000 yuan in dry shares, he said that he also needed Ji Zhenhua to say hello to the actual controller Zhang Mouxian. When Ji Zhenhua greeted him, Zhang Mouxian said: "This is a good thing, we have been together since childhood, and we know the roots." Ji Zhenhua said that if there are things that need to be coordinated in the future, he will help and come up with ideas.
In 2011, when Wang withdrew his shares, Zhang Mouxian told Ji Zhenhua: "I also left you 5 million yuan here, if you want to do it, the rest of the people will continue to do it, if you don't want to do it, you can take the money at any time." ”
At that time, Ji Zhenhua, who had served as the secretary of the Mengjin County Party Committee of Luoyang City, said: "I will not participate, the money will be put in you first, and I will buy a house in Beijing in the future, and I will ask you for it when I use it." ”
In August 2013, Ji Zhenhua bought a house worth 19 million yuan and an area of more than 240 square meters near the Sun Palace in Chaoyang District, Beijing. Zhang gave Ji Zhenhua 5 million yuan. In 2015, the house fell to $17.5 million when it was sold.
Ji Zhenhua once returned 5 million yuan to Zhang Mouxian.
Ji Zhenhua said: "In May 2014, Tan Jianzhong, member of the Standing Committee of the Luoyang Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General, was investigated, I knew that Zhang Mouxian and Tan Jianzhong had a very good relationship, and during Tan Jianzhong's investigation, the comrades of the Commission for Discipline Inspection also looked for Zhang Mouxian, I was very scared, so I planned to return the 5 million yuan that Zhang gave me for the time being. ”
Tan Jianzhong and Ji Zhenhua are old acquaintances. The upstream news reporter learned that when Ji Zhenhua was the director of the Luanchuan County Government Office, Tan Jianzhong was the director of the Luanchuan County Party Committee Office.
Ji Zhenhua borrowed 5 million yuan from a businessman and returned it to Zhang. A month later, Ji Zhenhua asked Zhang Mouxian for the money back. He said that he was worried that after a long time, Zhang would not give it to him.
According to the verdict, in 2008, Zhang Mouxian paid a bribe of 300,000 yuan to Ji Zhenhua to buy a house, and in 2015, Zhang Mouxian paid another bribe of 200,000 yuan, which Ji Zhenhua used to buy a car.
In 2015, Ji Zhenhua, then vice chairman of the Luoyang CPPCC and chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, found the main leaders of the Xigong District to help Zhang Mouxian's daughter-in-law transfer work. In 2019, Ji Zhenhua, then deputy director of the Luoyang Municipal People's Congress and chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, helped Zhang seek financial funds for the zoo road widening project.
The lover wants to buy a house, and the developer pays a discount of 2.5 million yuan out of his own pocket
Ji Zhenhua has a lover, Ding. In 2008, the two met at a dinner and confirmed their relationship in 2015.
In the second half of 2020, Ji Zhenhua has served as the deputy director of the Luoyang Municipal People's Congress and the chairman of the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions. Ji Zhenhua said that Ding wanted to buy a house in Luoyang Junhewan Community, which was developed by Zhang Mouxian. Ding selected two adjacent suites, with an area of more than 400 square meters and a total house price of more than 6 million yuan. He told Zhang Mouxian that Ding had followed him for many years, and the maximum discount was calculated. Zhang said that there was no problem. Subsequently, Zhang transferred 2.5 million yuan to Ding and gave a discount of more than 430,000 yuan.
In response to the "discount of more than 2.93 million yuan", Ding said that in addition to two houses, she also bought four parking spaces in the community, and she actually paid about 4 million yuan. On March 20, 2023, after Ji Zhenhua was placed in detention, according to Zhang Mouxian's request, she wrote an IOU of 2.5 million yuan for Zhang Mouxian.
According to local insiders, Ji Zhenhua maintained an improper relationship with Ding after his wife's illness.
During the Spring Festival in 2013 and 2014, Ji Zhenhua received 1 million yuan and two boxes of Moutai liquor from Zhang, the executive director of a company in Henan, in the clubhouse.
In 2010, Mengjin County started the construction of a new county area, and Zhang Moubao went to Mengjin to inspect cooperation matters, and the two sides reached a cooperation agreement. The settlement method of the project is as follows: the county finance pays 35% of the project cost of the cooperation project between the two parties in the form of cash payment, and the other 65% of the project cost is offset by the equivalent amount of land in the county. Due to the limited financial resources of Mengjin County, the fund allocation cycle has been extended, and even a long period of arrears have occurred.
Ji Zhenhua confessed that before the Spring Festival in 2013, Zhang Moubao asked him to have dinner together at the No. 7 Hall of Triumph Arch in Luoyang City, and Zhang Moubao said that he would actively solve the problem of arrears of project money and land transfer money. When Zhang escorted him to the car, he said that it was almost the New Year, and he brought some gifts to his brother, and took down two boxes of Moutai wine from the trunk of the car. When he moved the Moutai wine sent by Zhang into the storage room at home, he felt that the weight of the two wine boxes was different, he opened the box to check, one box contained 500,000 yuan in cash, and the other box contained Moutai wine.
In the Spring Festival of 2014, Zhang Moubao concocted the same method, and Ji Zhenhua received another 500,000 yuan in cash and a box of Moutai.
A deputy county magistrate of Mengjin County at the time said: "In 2013, on a trip to the countryside, Ji Zhenhua, the secretary of the county party committee, said that the company's project money should be paid in a timely manner and should not be in arrears. I will explain to the relevant units in charge and solve part of the project payment for their company. ”
Received 200,000 yuan in cash from the tea box and immediately solved the land requisition work
In order to cover people's eyes, the owner of the company gave Ji Zhenhua a box of tea with 200,000 yuan in cash.
In the second half of 2013, a real estate company in Luoyang City wanted to build a science and technology park in Mengjin, but the progress of land acquisition was slow.
Ji Zhenhua confessed that one night, he was having dinner in the restaurant of the company's project department, and the person in charge of the company, Yan, said that the progress of land acquisition was slow, and hoped that he could say hello to the secretary and mayor of Matun Town and speed up the progress of land acquisition and demolition, otherwise the project would not be able to be done. When he came out of the car after dinner, Yan handed him a mention of tea, saying that it was a little heart, and the tea was placed on the back seat. When he took the tea home, he felt that the tea was a little heavy, and when he went home and opened the tea box, he found that it contained 200,000 yuan in cash. The next day, he called the secretary of Matun Town and asked the town to select forces to speed up the land acquisition work in Songling Village. After more than a week, he went to the site to hold an office meeting and requisitioned back more than 100 acres of land.
The verdict shows that in 2016, Ji Zhenhua's house was renovated in Beijing, and Yan paid 850,000 yuan out of his own pocket for the decoration. Ji Zhenhua only paid Yan 200,000 yuan in cash.
Ji Zhenhua said: "I know that Yan's expenses must be more than 200,000 yuan. Because I helped Yan in the project land acquisition before, Yan also wants to continue to maintain a good relationship with me, and he will also use my place in the future. ”
In 2022, Ji Zhenhua is about to retire and plans to travel abroad after retirement, so he thought about preparing some US dollars, so he asked Yan if he had US dollars, and Yan put 10,000 US dollars in cash in the Liao Shen box and gave it to Ji Zhenhua.
