Bohai Bank responded for the first time to the "2.8 billion yuan deposit pledge guarantee" case: Jimin Credible is not a simple deposit customer it claims to be

Per reporter: Zhang Shoulin Per editor: Chen Xu

The $2.8 billion deposit was pledged as a guarantee for banks to provide bill financing and loans to third-party companies, while depository companies called Jimin Trust Group claimed to be unaware. As soon as the news was announced, the market was boiling, but at the mouth of public opinion, Bohai Bank, the other party to the incident, did not respond positively.

After several days of silence, Bohai Bank finally spoke for the first time. As the industry has analyzed before: things can be more complicated.

On November 4, the Daily Economic News reporter obtained a statement from the Bohai Bank's Nanjing branch on the matter.

According to the situation, in the recent period, the pledge and credit business incident between its subordinate business department and Jiangxi Jimin Trusted Pharmaceutical Industry Investment Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries has aroused great concern from all walks of life. However, in order to avoid interfering with the investigation of the relevant authorities, silence was maintained before, so this is the first time that the matter has been interviewed by the media and a public explanation has been made.

Bohai Bank Nanjing Branch officially said that it is understood that in about a year, Jimin Trust department also received three times the additional income from Huaye Petrochemical Department and deposit interest. Other information in its possession also shows that Jimin Trust was aware of the matter and was not a simple depositor customer as it claimed to be.

Bohai Bank Nanjing Branch also officially said that this incident exposed the weak links in the personnel management and operation links of its subordinate sales department. We will investigate this to the end, and solemnly promise to the general public: If there is any evidence that the personnel of the bank have any illegal and criminal acts, the bank will never conceal or cover up any clues, nor will it be biased or shielded from anyone.

The fact sheet also pointed out that there are many enterprises and individuals involved in this matter, and the information and evidence unilaterally provided by the parties cannot objectively and truly restore the whole picture of the incident.

At present, the public security organs have accepted the report and carried out investigation and evidence collection. Bohai Bank Nanjing Branch officially said that it is closely cooperating with the public security organs to speed up the investigation, so it will continue to restrain public voices so as not to affect the normal investigation work of the police.

For the pledged funds involved in this incident, the Nanjing branch of Bohai Bank officially said that it will be handled in strict accordance with the investigation conclusions and final results of the judicial organs. The legal responsibilities that need to be borne will not be prevaricated, not evaded, or transferred.
