On May 26, 2023, the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Committee of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region announced that Xi Hongjian and Liao Wenlong were under review and investigation. On July 22 of the same year, the two were expelled from the party, and Liao Wenlong was expelled from public office at the same time.
The report showed that both of them defied organizational review, sought benefits for others in engineering project contracting and other aspects, and illegally received huge amounts of property.
The Beihai Intermediate People's Court found after trial that from 2010 to 2023, Xi Hongjian and Liao Wenlong jointly or individually provided assistance to private business owner Li Moumou and others in contracting engineering projects, contracting college campus canteens and other matters, and jointly illegally accepted money from Li Moumou. A certain group of people gave a total of 37.68 million yuan in property, of which 13.25 million yuan was not actually obtained.
In addition, Xi Hongjian alone illegally received 3.242 million yuan in property, and Liao Wenlong alone illegally received 3.46 million yuan in property.
The scene of the sentencing of Liao Wenlong's bribery case. The court held that the actions of Xi Hongjian and Liao Wenlong constituted the crime of accepting bribes, and the amounts were particularly huge and should be punished in accordance with the law. Both of them were principal culprits in the joint crime. In view of the fact that part of the two bribery crimes were attempted, and after arriving at the case, the two truthfully confessed most of the bribery facts known to the case-handling agency, took the initiative to disclose other bribery facts not yet known to the case-handling agency, and actively returned the stolen goods and If you prepay the fine and voluntarily plead guilty and accept the punishment, you may be given a lighter punishment in accordance with the law.
