Preamble:
Xi Hongjian, former deputy secretary of the party committee and president, and Liao Wenlong, former member of the standing committee of the party committee and vice president, were sentenced to 12 years and six months in prison and fined 2 million yuan for accepting bribes.
1. Case combing
It has been learned that the bribery case was tried by the Guangxi Beihai City Intermediate People's Court, and the defendants Xi Hongjian and Liao Wenlong were respectively the principal leaders of the former party committee of the Guangxi University of Finance and Economics, and their bribery mainly occurred while they were serving as school leaders.
In the course of the court trial, the procuratorate accused Xi Hongjian and Liao Wenlong of taking advantage of their positions to provide assistance to others in matters such as engineering projects and campus canteen operations, and illegally accepting huge amounts of property, involving as much as 37.68 million yuan, and that after the fact of accepting bribes was clarified, they did not truthfully explain all the illegal gains, constituting multiple crimes and punishments.
Regarding the facts of their crimes, Xi Hongjian and Liao Wenlong also truthfully confessed in court, and expressed remorse and acceptance of punishment, and after the verdict was announced, they also said that they would accept the court's verdict and would not appeal, and such a statement has also been understood and recognized by public opinion and society.
2. Judgment Results
In the trial of the Beihai City Intermediate People's Court in Guangzhou, the court finally found that Xi Hongjian and Liao Wenlong's acts of accepting bribes constituted the crime of accepting bribes and should be punished in accordance with the law.
In the end, Xi Hongjian and Liao Wenlong were sentenced to 12 years and six months in prison and fined 2 million yuan, and the property obtained from their bribery crimes will also be recovered and handed over to the state treasury.
3. Case thinking
I believe that everyone has their own views on the bribery case of the leaders of Guangxi University of Finance and Economics, and at the same time, from such cases, it can also lead to some thinking about university management and anti-corruption.
First of all, as the main leading cadres of the school, the bribery case of Xi Hongjian and Liao Wenlong has undoubtedly caused a certain negative impact on the reputation and image of Guangxi University of Finance and Economics, and has also set a bad example for the teachers and students of the school and the public.
Therefore, the university and relevant departments need to pay attention to it, strengthen the supervision and management of the leading cadres of the university, establish a sound system and mechanism, strengthen risk prevention and control, and ensure the fairness, honesty and efficiency of the management of the university.
Finally, for the bribery cases and the huge amount of property involved, all sectors of society also need to have their own thinking, the illegal behavior of the bribe-taker will not only have a negative impact on the management and development of colleges and universities, but also may lead to unfair competition and waste of resources, for the private business owners involved in the case, it is also necessary to pay enough attention and vigilance, strengthen their own legal compliance awareness, standardize the behavior of participating in public affairs, in order to better promote social fairness and justice and the healthy development of the economy.
Epilogue:
Through such cases, we deeply feel the importance of the work of fighting corruption and advocating clean government, and we are also aware of the risks and challenges of corruption in the management of colleges and universities, and hope that the majority of leading cadres and educators can take this as a warning, consciously resist all kinds of corruption and unhealthy trends, and set an example of honesty and self-discipline.
