Nandu News Reporter He Shengting acted as a "protective umbrella" for the mafia-related gangs, repeatedly accepting a total of 508,000 yuan in relationship fees, and there has been an update on the bribery case of Xian Shangjin, former member of the party committee and deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Enping City, Guangdong Province. Sin Shangjin was sentenced to two years and six months in prison and fined 200,000 yuan by the People's Court of Heshan City, Guangdong Province, for accepting bribes.
On February 5, 2021, the Heshan Municipal People's Court held a hearing on Sin Shangjin's bribery case.
The public prosecution alleged that from mid-2009 to February 2015, xian Shangjin took advantage of his position to accept the entrustment of He Jiamou, a major member of the gang involved in the mafia, by not taking the initiative to investigate and ban in a timely manner, and when Xian Shangjin was the director of the Henan police station, a member of the party committee of the Enping City Public Security Bureau, the director of the political work office, and responsible for the overall work of the Henan police station, he took advantage of his position to accept the entrustment of He Jiamou, a major member of the gang involved in the mafia, and acted as a "protective umbrella" for gambling bureaus opened by the Henan police station by not taking the initiative to investigate and ban them in a timely manner. He Jiamou has repeatedly illegally accepted a total of 508,000 yuan in relationship fees from He Jiamou from gambling games and other team members of the Henan police station at the time.
Among them, Xian Shangjin transferred 48,000 yuan to Chen Zhixiong, then instructor of Henan Police Station, 45,000 yuan, deputy director Feng Yongqiang, 45,000 yuan to Li Pinliang, and 45,000 yuan to Cen Weicun, with a total of 325,000 yuan in personal income.
On December 11, 2019, the Enping Municipal Supervision Commission opened a case to investigate Sin Shangjin's suspected crime of accepting bribes, and on the 18th of the same month, it imposed a liuzhi measure against him. After arriving at the case, Sin Shangjin, Cen Weicun, Chen Zhixiong, Li Pinliang, and Feng Yongqiang withdrew all the proceeds of crime.
The Heshan Municipal People's Procuratorate filed a public indictment against Sin Shangjin for accepting bribes, and the Heshan Municipal People's Court accepted the case on January 20, 2021. The public prosecution organ held that Xian Shangjin's behavior had violated the provisions of the Criminal Law, the facts of the crime were clear, the evidence was credible and sufficient, and he should be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of accepting bribes. Xian Shangjin truthfully confessed his crime after arriving at the case, and could be given a lenient punishment in accordance with law; Xian Shangjin provided clues to arrest two criminal suspects, one of whom may be sentenced to a sentence of life imprisonment or more, with major meritorious performance, and may be given a mitigated punishment according to law.
At trial, Sin Shangjin's defender argued that Sin Had pleaded guilty and accepted punishment in this case, had no objection to the prosecution's charges, and recommended that the court sentence the defendant to two years' imprisonment and apply a suspended sentence. Xian Shangjin has a variety of mitigating or mitigating circumstances: it constitutes a major meritorious service and can be mitigated or given a mitigated punishment according to law; truthfully confessing his crime constitutes a confession and can be given a lenient punishment in accordance with law; actively withdrawing illegal gains and being willing to pay a fine, and being able to give a lenient punishment according to law, and so on.
After trial, the Heshan Municipal People's Court held that with regard to the defender's defense opinion that Xian Shangjin should be sentenced to two years' imprisonment and apply a suspended sentence, after investigation, Xian Shangjin, as a state functionary, took advantage of his position to illegally accept other people's property and property and act as a "protective umbrella" for the criminal act of opening a casino for the main members of the mafia-related gang, and the circumstances were relatively serious, and according to the principle of proportionality between crime and punishment, it did not meet the conditions for sentencing to two years' imprisonment and applying a suspended sentence, so the defense opinion was not adopted.
To this end, the Heshan Municipal People's Court issued a judgment on February 8, sentencing Xian Shangjin to two years and six months in prison and a fine of 200,000 yuan for accepting bribes; 325,000 yuan of Xian Shangjin's illegal gains in this case were confiscated and handed over to the state treasury.
