Embezzled more than 14.82 million yuan of public funds, embezzled 1.2 million yuan of public funds to register a company with others, and privately set up a small treasury of more than 11.7 million yuan...

In March 2012, the Supervision Bureau of the Discipline Inspection Group of the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Ministry of Agriculture conducted an investigation of Shen Guang, who was then a cadre at the department level of the National Animal Husbandry Association, the secretary general of the China Animal Husbandry Association, and the vice president of the National Urban Trade Federation.

In September 2013, Shen Guang was expelled from the party and dismissed from public office after being studied by the Supervision Bureau of the Discipline Inspection Group of the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Ministry of Agriculture and approved by the party group of the Ministry of Agriculture.

A "two-sided life" of great greed -- An analysis of the case of Shen Guang, former secretary general of the China Animal Husbandry Association and former vice president of the All-China Urban Trade Federation, who violated discipline and the law

On the surface, he is incorruptible but greedy on the inside

Shen Guang, male, born in October 1963, Jilin Yushu people, graduate degree, began working in July 1986, joined the Communist Party of China in November 1993.

At the time of the crime, Shen Guang was just a department-level cadre, and his unit was a community organization, which in the eyes of ordinary people did not have much "power". But Shen Guang embezzled more than 14 million yuan of public funds, which is surprisingly large. So, what kind of person is Shen Guang in his daily work?

"He's still a very frugal, strict guy." "When working in the unit, it is a very dedicated leader." "It's a workaholic." This is the evaluation of Shen Guang by former colleagues.

"My brother is very good." This was Shen Guang's sister's evaluation of him.

Shen Guang is very strict with himself on the surface, giving the impression of being smart, capable and stable. In fact, he is a corrupt official who is cleverly disguised.

In 2007, after Shen Guangyou, the deputy secretary general of the China Animal Husbandry Association, was elected secretary general, in just over half a year, he instructed the financial staff of the association to directly remit the only 280,000 yuan in one of the association's off-the-books funds to his nephew's personal bank account.

Shen Guang's personnel relations are at the National Animal Husbandry Station of the Ministry of Agriculture. According to the relevant regulations, he is part-time in the China Animal Husbandry Association, receiving neither salary, benefits nor any remuneration, which is very regular and incorruptible on the surface. However, behind the illusion of Shen Guang's incorruptibility, there is a strong greed, a series of acts of wanton corruption:

2009 Chengdu Animal Husbandry Exhibition, embezzlement of more than 2.39 million yuan of public funds; 2010 Beijing Tibetan Mastiff Exhibition and Animal Husbandry Exhibition, embezzlement of public funds of 2 million yuan; 2011 Qingdao Animal Husbandry Exhibition, In 2011, the Shenyang Tibetan Mastiff Exhibition embezzled more than 1.796 million yuan; in 2012, the Nanjing Animal Husbandry Exhibition embezzled more than 3.271 million yuan; in 2012, the Shenyang Tibetan Mastiff Exhibition, embezzled more than 963,000 yuan; embezzled 1.4 million yuan of exhibiting fees; in addition, Shen Guang also directly embezzled 280,000 yuan of off-the-books funds of the association.

One of the reasons for Shen Guang's series of corrupt practices was that Shen Guang channeled funds to the businesses run by his wife.

In 2006, Shen Guang helped his wife Wang join Jilin Zhongshen Real Estate Company, and Wang became the chairman. Later, the company undertook the local shantytown renovation project, and the company was in trouble due to the poor operation of funds.

At this time, the China Animal Husbandry Association, which was "ruled" by Shen Guang, was in full swing, and the income from the exhibition was very considerable. In the situation of "ice and fire double heaven", Shen Guang began to extend his hand to the income of the association, and repeatedly succeeded, and then twisted and turned the income of the association into his wife's company.

Almost every time he held an exhibition, he would be deliberate, carefully planned, and think of making money. Taking the 2009 Chengdu Animal Husbandry Exhibition as an example, the China Animal Husbandry Association and the National Animal Husbandry Station paid a total of 2.915 million yuan to a convention and exhibition center in Chengdu, of which Shen Guang embezzled 2.013 million yuan, not only that, Shen Guang also embezzled 378,000 yuan of exhibition subsidies from the Chengdu Municipal Government to the association, with a corruption rate of 82.1%. At the Nanjing Animal Husbandry Exhibition, the proportion of corruption was as high as 97.9%.

In addition to using his special status to embezzle a large amount of public funds from the association directly from the exhibition, he also secretly collected some of the exhibitors' fees for himself under the pretext of reducing or waiving the participation fees of the exhibitors who had a leading role in the Tibetan Mastiff Exhibition.

Two days after the 2011 Tibetan Mastiff Exhibition, Shen Guang called a farmer in Beijing and asked them to pay the exhibition fee. A few days later, Shen Guang drove to the farmer's mastiff garden and collected the 600,000 yuan exhibition fee from the two mastiff gardens in cash. No one else was present at the time, and Shen Guang did not issue a receipt. Using this method, Shen Guang embezzled a total of 1.4 million yuan in the exhibition fee that the association should collect from the participating farmers four times.

It can be said that no matter how much money there is, Shen Guang's "big and small take-all", you can imagine how strong his greedy desire is.

The rank is not large, and there are many tricks to "make money"

The China Animal Husbandry Association is a nationwide industry joint organization composed of enterprises, institutions and individuals engaged in animal husbandry and related industries, and is a non-profit social group with legal personality, which undertakes functions such as service, coordination, rights protection, self-discipline and management in industry guidance. Shen Guang served as the secretary general of the association and was specifically responsible for the daily work of the association.

According to people's general understanding, no matter the money, the project, or the resources, the community organization has no power, and Shen Guang is only a department-level cadre, not a high-ranking official, but no one expected that a major case of embezzlement of tens of millions of yuan had occurred. So, how did Shen Guang take these huge amounts of public funds for himself?

The results of the investigation show that although Shen Guang's method of committing the crime is not very clever, it is very secretive. He repeatedly took advantage of the opportunity of the association to hold animal husbandry exhibitions and Tibetan mastiff exhibitions, and stole public funds for himself by signing "yin and yang contracts", false agreements, and not recording income.

Shen Guang once said in the book of repentance: "I am also the vice president of the National Federation of Cities Trade, and I have a certain status and influence in the exhibition industry. Each pavilion and exhibition company can give the association a relatively low price for the two exhibitions, providing conditions for stealing the association's funds. ”

In 2009, the China Animal Husbandry Association held the China Animal Husbandry and Feed Industry Exhibition in Chengdu, during the preparation of the exhibition, Shen Guang accompanied the leaders of the National Animal Husbandry Station to sign a tripartite contract with an exhibition center in Chengdu, the National Animal Husbandry Station, and an exhibition center in Chengdu; afterwards, Shen Guang, behind the leadership' back, privately signed a contract between the association and an exhibition center in Chengdu, and embezzled 2.013 million yuan of the association's public funds by driving down the price.

Signing the "Yin and Yang Contract" was the first step for Shen Guang, and then Shen Guang carefully designed the capital transfer route map. Through the signing of a false agreement with the exhibition center, the money was transferred to a printing enterprise in Langfang, and then to a construction company in Changchun, which was closely related to the Jilin Zhongshen Real Estate Company, and finally the money was used to repay the loan owed to an intermediary company in Beijing for jilin Zhongshen Real Estate Company to solve the problem of funds.

Investigators in the case found that every amount of money that Shen Guang embezzled was painstaking, mainly because the money transfer route designed by Shen Guang was extremely secretive. However, Shen Guang's tortuous and roundabout handling of funds is more than enough, and the operation is extremely skillful, which can be described as smooth sailing and smooth flow.

Why did everyone in these links obey Shen Guang's arrangement and objectively support and connive at Shen Guang's violations of discipline and law?

Wang Mou, general manager of Beijing Oriental Shiyuan Exhibition and Exhibition Co., Ltd., has helped Shen Guang transfer funds many times, and when he was investigated, his statement unveiled the mystery: "I want to strive for cooperation with the China Animal Husbandry Association, Shen Guang asked me, and I promised him." And in this way, Shen Guang can give me more business in the future. Zuo Mou, of an exhibition company in Chengdu, admitted in the transcript of the conversation that he had always wanted to enlist the China Animal Husbandry Association to hold an exhibition with them. Xu Mou of Langfang replied: "Because we have business dealings with the association, in order to maintain business relations, Shen Guang asked me to help him transfer funds, I dare not do it." ”

It seems to be a management norm, but there are many loopholes in practice

The China Animal Husbandry Association has established a set of management systems, and the relevant departments have audited the finances of the association many times, but no problems have been found.

The "Financial Management Measures of the China Animal Husbandry Association" clearly stipulates that the loans and expense reimbursements of the staff of the Association shall first be preliminarily examined by the director of the department, reviewed by the deputy secretary-general in charge, reviewed by the director of the finance department, reported to the person in charge of finance for approval, and finally paid by the cashier.

On the surface, the China Animal Husbandry Association has a "clean" big account, but behind it hides a small treasury secretly set up by Shen Guang and operated by financial personnel who obey his words: since January 2006, under Shen Guang's arrangement, in the name of facilitating Tibetan mastiff farmers, more than ten bank accounts have been opened in the bank in the name of the association's financial personnel, accumulating more than 11.709 million yuan in funds.

Especially in the work of cleaning up the small treasury in 2010, the China Animal Husbandry Association did not truthfully report the situation of the small treasury. "We didn't know this until the last incident." Liu Qiangde, deputy secretary-general of the China Animal Husbandry Association, said, "Because every time I audited, whether it was a superior unit or the office meeting of the secretary general of our association, I was repeatedly told that the association was praised and very formal in this regard." ”

In order to make it easier to exchange funds, Shen Guang, after careful arrangements, blocked the establishment of a small treasury against the members of the secretariat team. Shen Guang knew that the fewer people knew the secret, the safer and more "safe."

The small treasury has become Shen Guang's "self-reserved land", as long as Shen Guang has requirements, the financial personnel will pay the funds at will. The expenditure of the small treasury is very chaotic, there are a large number of irregular receipts, and even hundreds of thousands of yuan a "white note" recorded in the account, its authenticity is difficult to distinguish, some bank accounts have been cancelled, to the investigation of the direction of funds to bring great difficulties. It is precisely because Shen Guang spends a large number of non-compliant documents from the small treasury that the association's "big account" appears very clean, so that several audits have not found problems.

In a conversation with judicial personnel, Shen Guang once said: "The state has issued three orders and five declarations prohibiting the establishment of off-the-books funds, and my approach is incorrect. I had a paralyzing problem in my thinking, and I did not stop this problem in time and did not fully realize the harm of off-the-books funds. ”

Individual performance is obvious and unit losses are significant

Objectively speaking, shen guang has shown strong working ability in many positions after graduating from university, especially after serving as the secretary general of the association, and has achieved obvious results. In a short period of time, the China Animal Husbandry Association started from almost zero and quickly grew into a well-known association in the country. With the development and growth of the association, Shen Guang regarded the achievements of the association's development as a personal credit.

Shen Guang said in the letter of repentance: "In October 2001, I was transferred to the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station to prepare for the establishment of the China Animal Husbandry Association, and successively served as executive deputy secretary general and secretary general. For more than ten years, with the support of the relevant departments of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the leadership of supervisors at all levels, the association has been prepared, started, strengthened and developed into a well-known industry association in the country and one of the first 13 5A-level social organizations in the country. ”

Shen Guang has this expression on the nature of the association's funds: "I have a more extreme and wrong understanding: the association funds are not state financial appropriations, but I led the staff to save money and accumulate them, and this extreme understanding helped me to embark on the road of crime." ”

Shen Guang has contributed to the development of the association, but the consequences of Shen Guang's illegal crimes on the association are also serious, not only causing huge losses in the economy, but also bringing a very bad impact on the reputation.

Shen Guang used his influence as secretary general of the China Animal Husbandry Association to embezzle public funds from industry associations, and tried every means to design and transfer funds routes, disguised everywhere, in an attempt to evade legal sanctions, however, the cloak of disguise was eventually torn.

On November 19, 2013, the Beijing No. 3 Intermediate People's Court held a hearing on Shen Guang's embezzlement case. After trial, the court held that Shen Guang's embezzlement and deception of public funds had constituted the crime of embezzlement and should be punished according to law. In view of the fact that after he arrived at the case, he was able to truthfully confess and confess the facts of many crimes, actively returned all economic losses, and had a better attitude of admitting guilt and repenting, he was given a lenient punishment in accordance with law. In the end, the court sentenced defendant Shen Guang to 15 years in prison. (Reporter Chen Quan Correspondent Nong Jixuan)

Shen Guang repented

 ● Looking back on the road traveled since the work, I am almost legally illiterate, I always think that I will not break the law, I do not know clearly on the road of crime, my thinking is vague, and every time I stretch out my evil hand to steal the funds of the association, I have a fluke mentality; on the one hand, I feel that it is hidden, the accumulation of funds of the association is large, idle is not used, the staff is doing things according to instructions, the price is lower than the market, it is difficult to detect; on the other hand, I think that various relationships are handled better, and there are things to ask for leaders and friends, and intercede will pass. However, the legal net is restored, and the omission is not leaked, and sooner or later the crimes committed will be discovered, investigated, and punished.

● The China Animal Husbandry Association is supported by leaders at all levels, I led the staff to start almost from scratch, thus also establishing the "authority" of my work in the association, gaining the trust of leaders and colleagues, resulting in several theft of the association's exhibition funds, colleagues did not find out, this "authority" contributed to my criminal behavior.

● My "authority" in the national exhibition industry has also gradually increased with the increase in the scale of the two brand exhibitions. At the same time, I am also the vice president of the National Federation of Cities Trade (coordinating the national exhibition industry), and I have a certain position and influence in the exhibition industry. Each pavilion and exhibition company can give the association two exhibitions a relatively low price, providing conditions for stealing funds.

● I have an extremely erroneous understanding that the funds of the association are not state financial appropriations, but are accumulated by me leading the staff to save money and use them frugally. This extreme understanding helped me to embark on the path of crime.
