Despite receiving a lighter punishment, he was sentenced to life, and deputy ministerial level officials caused 190 million yuan in state-owned property losses. Standing Committee of the Xiamen Municipal People's Congress in Fujian Province | Chen Jiadong | Life

After appearing in court for more than two months, cadres who had caused significant losses to state-owned property were sentenced.

On September 5th, Chen Jiadong, former director of the Standing Committee of the Xiamen Municipal People's Congress in Fujian Province, was publicly sentenced for bribery, corruption, and abuse of power. The Nanchang Intermediate People's Court, which tried this case, sentenced Chen Jiadong to life imprisonment for bribery, deprived him of political rights for life, and also confiscated all personal property. He was sentenced to 7 years in prison for corruption and fined 300000 yuan. He was also sentenced to 8 years in prison for abuse of power, and decided to execute life imprisonment, deprived him of political rights for life, and confiscated all personal property; The confiscated and confiscated proceeds of crime shall be recovered, and the portion of embezzlement and abuse of power shall be returned to the victim's unit. The portion of bribery shall be turned over to the national treasury, and any shortfall shall continue to be recovered.

The court found that Chen Jiadong's act of accumulating wealth continued from 2000 to 2022, spanning a period of 22 years. He stepped down in January 2022 and was investigated in February, continuing to be greedy until retirement.

In addition to Fujian, Chen Jiadong's footprint of corruption also continued to the period of aid to Tibet. By taking advantage of his position as Deputy Secretary of Linzhi Prefecture Party Committee of the Xizang Autonomous Region, Executive Deputy Commissioner of the Regional Administrative Office, Deputy Secretary and Mayor of Ningde Municipal Party Committee of Fujian Province, Secretary and Director of the Party Leadership Group of the Forestry Department of Fujian Province, Secretary of Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee, and Director of the Standing Committee of Xiamen Municipal People's Congress, he provided assistance to relevant units and individuals in forest land approval, project contracting and other matters, and illegally received property amounting to more than 94.15 million yuan.

Meanwhile, from 2015 to 2017, Chen Jiadong took advantage of his position as the Secretary of the Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee and colluded with others to embezzle more than 3.41 million yuan of state-owned property; From 2013 to 2014, during his tenure as the Secretary of the Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee, Chen Jiadong engaged in personal gain, abuse of power, and illegally overpaid the developer for the project, resulting in a loss of over 190 million yuan in state-owned property.

The final court held that Chen Jiadong's behavior constituted the crimes of bribery, corruption, and abuse of power, with the amount of bribery and corruption being "particularly huge" and the circumstances of abuse of power being "particularly serious". However, considering that some of Chen Jiadong's bribery was attempted and corruption was self surrender, he voluntarily confessed most of the bribery facts that the supervisory authorities had not yet mastered after being brought to justice, pleaded guilty and repented, and actively returned the stolen goods. He may be given lighter punishment for his bribery and abuse of power crimes, and his corruption crimes may be mitigated.

Chen Jiadong was born in August 1959 in Changle, Fujian and has been working in Fujian for a long time. In his early years, he worked at the Forestry Department of Fujian Province and served as the Deputy Director in 1997. In July 2001, he served as the leader of the third batch of Tibet aid teams in Fujian Province, and served as the deputy secretary of the local Party committee of Linzhi, Xizang, and the executive deputy commissioner of the administrative office. In 2003, he was identified as the principal office level. After returning to Fujian in 2004, he continued to serve as the Deputy Director of the Forestry Department, and subsequently held various positions including Deputy Secretary of the Ningde Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Fu'an Municipal Party Committee, Mayor of Ningde City, Director of the Fujian Provincial Forestry Department, and Secretary of the Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee. In December 2016, Chen Jiadong was appointed as the Secretary of the Party Group of the Standing Committee of the Xiamen Municipal People's Congress. In January of the following year, he was elected as the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Xiamen Municipal People's Congress until his resignation in January last year.

Despite having served as the "leader" of the party and government in multiple places, Chen Jiadong was ultimately criticized by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the "Double Opening" notice for "not fulfilling the responsibilities of the" leader "in managing the party and seriously polluting the political ecology.". In addition, he was rarely criticized for "using public power to serve interest groups in pursuit of personal promotion" and "engaging in" image engineering "and" political achievement engineering "that harm the people and their wealth".

After completion, most of them gradually became abandoned.
