According to the SPC, on the morning of the same day, at the Nanjing Intermediate Court in Jiangsu Province, Chen Gang, a former member of the party leading group of the China Association for Science and Technology, secretary of the Secretariat, and member of the Standing Committee, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for accepting bribes.
According to the results of the court's trial, Chen Gang's wealth was as high as 128 million. The court said that Chen Gang had other major contributions to the country and society and had great meritorious performance.
<h1>Graduated from Tsinghua University, his career has gone through several turns</h1>
Chen Gang, male, Han ethnicity, born in May 1966, 55 years old, Chongyang, Hubei Province, joined the Communist Party of China in May 1988, joined the work in August 1989, graduate degree, master of engineering, senior engineer.

In September 2002, Chen Gang was appointed Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission (Office of the Capital Planning and Construction Commission). In October 2006, he assumed the new position of Vice Mayor of Beijing, and in July 2012, Chen Gang became a member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee.
Judging from his resume, Chen Gangshi has gone through several twists and turns.
In February 2017, Chen Gang became a member of the party group and deputy director of the office of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project Construction Committee of the State Council. In March 2018, he was appointed as a member of the Party Group of the China Association for Science and Technology, in May of that year he was appointed as the secretary of the Secretariat of the Association for Science and Technology, and in September 2018, he was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the China Association for Science and Technology.
It is worth mentioning that also in February 2017, Li Shixiang, then a member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor, also ceased to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, after which Li Shixiang became the vice chairman of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. It was investigated on September 15, 2018.
Shortly after Li Shixiang fell, on January 6, 2019, Chen Gang was investigated.
<h1>Accumulated over 100 million</h1>
According to the court's judgment, Chen Gang's first payment was in 2003, shortly after he became director of the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission.
From 2003 to 2018, Chen Gang accumulated a wealth of up to 128 million yuan in a number of positions by helping related enterprises in the change of the nature of land for construction projects, the adjustment of planning indicators, and the approval and acceptance of projects.
In the official briefing, Chen Gang was accused of being "extremely greedy."
According to a report from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, Chen Gang once used his power to build luxurious private gardens and gardens for personal enjoyment, cheated and cheated, occupied more houses in violation of regulations, entered and exited in violation of regulations, monopolized private clubhouses, and occupied luxurious suites in hotels for many years without compensation.
In addition, he also used the important power of planning and approval for a long time to amass wealth, seek benefits for his relatives' business activities, engage in power and money transactions, and accept huge bribes; his life was extremely corrupt and extravagant, morally corrupt, and he unscrupulously pursued personal pleasures.
<h1>Other significant contributions to the state and society</h1>
After the Eighteenth National Congress, there were a number of fallen "tigers" who amassed wealth of over 100 million, such as:
Zhao Zhengyong, former secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee (who accepted bribes of more than 717 million yuan): Death is suspended, life imprisonment, and no commutation or parole is allowed
Xing Yun, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People's Congress (who accepted bribes of 449 million yuan): Suspended death, life imprisonment, no commutation or parole
Chen Shulong, former member of the Standing Committee of the Anhui Provincial Cpc Committee and former vice governor of Anhui Province (bribed more than 270 million yuan): indefinitely
Bai Enpei, former secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee (who accepted bribes of more than 246 million yuan): Death is suspended, life imprisonment, and sentences cannot be commuted or parole
Sun Zhengcai, former secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee (bribed more than 170 million): indefinitely

On January 5, "financial tiger" Lai Xiaomin was executed, and his wealth was as high as 1.788 billion.
Judging from the length of their sentences, most of the "tigers" who have amassed more than 100 million yuan have been sentenced to life, suspended death, or even executed immediately.
But there are exceptions.
For example, Zhang Yue, a former member of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial PARTY Committee and former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, who accepted bribes of more than 156 million yuan, was sentenced to 15 years in prison. The court said that Zhang Yue voluntarily surrendered after committing a crime and truthfully confessed his crime, which was a voluntary surrender; after returning to the case, he reported and exposed the major crimes of others, which were verified to be true and had major meritorious performance.
Like Zhang Yue, Chen Gang also had a major meritorious performance.
The Nanjing Municipal Intermediate People's Court said that Chen Gang surrendered to the case-handling organs when he had not yet been investigated, talked, or interrogated, truthfully confessed his crimes, and constituted voluntary surrender; after returning to the case, he provided clues to crack other major cases, which were verified to be true, and had other major contributions to the state and society, and had major meritorious performance.
It is worth mentioning that after the Eighteenth National Congress, there are many "tigers" who have made major meritorious performances, but most of them are "providing clues to solve other major cases", and like Chen Gang, "other major contributions to the country and society" are very rare.
