The Intermediate People's Court of Nanchang City believes that the actions of the defendant Chen Jiadong constitute the crimes of bribery, corruption, and abuse of power. The amount of bribery and corruption is particularly huge, and the circumstances of abuse of power are particularly serious. Considering that some of Chen Jiadong's bribery was attempted, while corruption was self surrender. After being brought to justice, he voluntarily confessed most of the bribery facts that the supervisory authorities had not yet mastered, apologized 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. The court then made the above judgment.
