Illegal receipt of property worth over 325 million yuan
The court emphasized four "special" points
According to the news on the 12th, after being tried by the court, it was found that from 1997 to 2021, the defendant Wang Bin provided assistance to relevant units and individuals in matters such as loan financing, project cooperation, personnel arrangements, etc. by taking advantage of his position and position, and illegally received property directly or through his relatives, totaling more than 325 million yuan. Starting from January 2012, Wang Bin violated the national foreign exchange management system and the overseas deposit declaration system for state employees, depositing a total of more than RMB 56.42 million in foreign currency into the bank and securities accounts opened by his relatives in Hong Kong, concealing and not reporting.
The Intermediate People's Court of Jinan City believes that the defendant Wang Bin's behavior constitutes the crime of bribery and the crime of concealing overseas deposits.
The court also mentioned four "special circumstances": Wang Bin's bribery amount was particularly huge, the crime circumstances were particularly serious, the social impact was particularly severe, causing significant losses to the interests of the country and the people, and he should be sentenced to death if convicted.
The court believes that Wang Bin's crime of concealing overseas deposits is self surrender and can be given a lighter punishment, along with the crime of bribery he committed. Considering that Wang Bin truthfully confessed his crimes, confessed and repented, actively returned the stolen goods, and had a statutory and discretionary lenient punishment, he was sentenced to death without immediate execution. At the same time, based on the facts and circumstances of Wang Bin's crime, it has been decided that after his death penalty is suspended for two years and reduced to life imprisonment in accordance with the law, he will be sentenced to life imprisonment without commutation or parole.
