"In the past 30 years, I have participated in two large-scale anti-gang crime campaigns and am proud of my outstanding achievements in my work. Unexpectedly, in the third special struggle to sweep away organized crime and eliminate evil forces, I was also 'swept away' and became a disgrace to the political and legal contingent. In court, Zheng Gaoxing, former party secretary and director of the Haiyan County Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau in Zhejiang Province, was remorseful for his actions. On April 21, 2021, Zheng Gaoxing was sentenced to six years and six months in prison and fined 350,000 yuan for the crime of conniving at a mafia-type organization, accepting bribes, and bending the law for personal gain, and 1.07 million yuan of illegal gains withdrew were confiscated according to law and handed over to the state treasury.
"Zheng Gaoxing served as deputy director of the Haiyan County Public Security Bureau for many years, and in the 23 years he was a police officer, he has solved major and important cases many times and won many honors, and his corruption and degeneration are deplorable." The case officer said.
In 1992, Zheng Gaoxing graduated from the police academy and worked in the grass-roots police station, and with his outstanding performance in work, he gradually grew from a grass-roots police officer to the deputy director of the Haiyan County Public Security Bureau. After that, he served as the secretary of the party committee and director of the county comprehensive administrative law enforcement bureau. "After the power becomes larger, some business owners will take the initiative to associate with me, and I also feel fluttery, thinking that I am in the circle of 'business people'." Zheng Gaoxing said.
In 2005, Zheng Gaoxing accompanied a boss friend to Hangzhou to see a house and buy a car, watching the boss sell tens of millions of mansions, and the luxury car was two starts as soon as he bought it, and he was deeply shocked. "I still clearly remember that the sports car cost two or three hundred thousand yuan per wheel, and my annual income at that time was only 20,000 or 30,000 yuan." I think these bosses are inferior to me in terms of culture, ability, and IQ, but they are richer, freer, and dashing than me, which makes me very dissatisfied, and my psychology is gradually unbalanced. Zheng Gaoxing said.
Lost in faith and shaken in his heart, Zheng Gaoxing failed to resist the temptation, but instead indulged in the sound and color of dogs and horses, lights and green in the front and back of the bosses. Greed grows like wild grass, and Zheng Gaoxing's oath of joining the police has also been forgotten in extravagant pleasures, at this time, he has forgotten party discipline and state law, abused his power for personal gain, violated the law by law enforcement, and became a "protective umbrella" for criminal syndicates and evil forces.
In September 2010, some people reported that the mafia-type organization headed by Shen Moumou opened a casino in Haiyan and used the underworld forces to forcibly buy shares. After receiving the report, Zheng Gaoxing, then deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, was full of ambition to complete the big case and seek political achievements for himself, but the phone call of a boss changed his mind. "I have made a lot of profits from investing in this boss's business, and I want to give him some face, and if I settle this matter, there will be many benefits." Zheng Gaoxing said. Afterwards, Shen Moumou, who escaped the disaster, gave Zheng Gaoxing 100,000 yuan in benefits.
In this way, Zheng Gaoxing, who was blinded by greed, fell deeper and deeper in the mud, and even started the dream of "being the boss and making a fortune".
"I just set up a mining company, you can come and invest, I promise 'steady profit'." In 2011, a "friend" invited Zheng Gaoxing to invest in shares, and Zheng Gaoxing was very moved after listening to it, so he borrowed 3 million yuan from his boss Wang Moumou for investment. "Wang Moumou once got the care of Zheng Gaoxing in a casino case and was lightly dealt with, and when Zheng Gaoxing opened his mouth to borrow money from him, he was very happy and did not mention interest at all. Zheng Gaoxing is like this 'empty glove white wolf', taking other people's money to eat dividends. The case-handling staff said. In 2016, Zheng Gaoxing borrowed another 1.99 million yuan from Wang for investment. "There is no such thing as a free lunch. I also understand that behind this deformed lending relationship, the essence is the transaction of power and money. Zheng Gaoxing said.
In order to realize his dream of being a boss, in April 2020, Zheng Gaoxing, then secretary of the party committee and director of the Haiyan County Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau, resigned from public office and became an executive in a private company. Unexpectedly, 2 months later, he was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and was investigated. The "boss dream" finally came to naught, and it was only then that he understood that the extravagant life was nothing but illusion, and the plain and plain was the truth.
"When I embarked on the road of violating discipline and law, there are three lessons that are unforgettable: When you become an official, you should not get rich, and if you get rich, you should not become an official; public officials must be able to endure loneliness and guard against poverty; and party members and cadres must have a heart of reverence and self-discipline. I am so sorry that everyone should learn from me. On November 30, 2020, Zheng Gaoxing was expelled from the party, and Zheng Gaoxing, who signed the party disciplinary decision, was heartbroken and could not cry.
