Yang Qiang's "Judgment" itself clearly shows the 36 police officers involved under Yang Qiang's protective umbrella who paid bribes to buy offices. A large number of police officers lined up to hand over money. A few days before the job change, Chen Yifu would go to Yang Qiang’s house several times a day to deliver money to his subordinates.
“One day in 2008, Yang Qiang called me to his office and said that he was currently conducting three For basic reform, there are still some vacancies in the bureau that need to be uniformly appointed. Let me talk to them according to the list below. I took the note and saw the names of Xu Chong and others written on it. Yang Qiang hinted that they should send 80,000 yuan. Yuan Cai could be promoted. The next day, I called Zhang Xiao, Xu X, Zhang Sen, Zhang Wei, Chen Qiao and Liang X to my office and told them what Yang Qiang meant. , they all expressed their willingness to pay in exchange for political progress.”
——This is the confession made by the second defendant Chen Yifu who was tried together with Yang Qiang. Before his arrest, Chen Yifu was the deputy director of the Maogang District Public Security Bureau. He said that because Yang Qiang did not want to contact the briber directly, he asked him to act as an intermediary.
According to Chen Yifu’s confession, a large number of police officers lined up to give away money. A few days before the job change, he sometimes had to run to Yang Qiang's house several times a day to deliver money to his subordinates.
The court found that in addition to most of the bribes being transferred to Yang Qiang by Chen Yifu, the fourth defendant in the same case, Zheng Guang, was also responsible for introducing bribes. Zheng Guang was originally Yang Qiang’s driver and later became Yang Qiang’s boss. microphone.
According to the accusation, 36 police officers in the *** bribed Yang Qiang. Among the police officers who sent money, except for Chen Yifu, who was later promoted to deputy director, the others were promoted to police station instructors, police station directors, chief clerks, etc., involving public security, criminal investigation, economic investigation, anti-pornography, gambling and drug prohibition, etc. All areas of policing.
Nanfang Daily reporter randomly selected a few of these people who paid for official positions and searched them on the Internet, and found a large number of reports and complaints.
The court ruled that Yang Qiang took advantage of his position to accept 3.4558 million yuan in cash from his subordinates during the personnel appointment and removal process, instructed his subordinates to allow others to open casinos in Maogang area, and received 1.1825 million yuan in "protection fees" from the casinos. During the investigation of the case, he worked with other police officers or alone to receive 500,000 yuan in cash from the parties or their family members, and accepted bribes totaling 5.1382 million yuan. Li Guoen paid Yang Qiang a bribe of 60,000 yuan, and took advantage of his position to obtain 187,000 yuan in casino protection fees alone.
According to a local police officer in Maoming, he told reporters that during the organizational reform in 2008, almost all the grassroots cadre indicators of Maoming Branch were in the hands of Yang Qiang. Appointment and dismissal do not depend on character and ability, and it has almost become a semi-open secret to spend money to buy an official. The price he heard of buying an official is 100,000 yuan. In the judgment, the reporter saw that Yang Qiang sold his official position for about 80,000 yuan. Among the police officers who gave money, except for a few police officers who asked Yang Qiang for dinner and only gave 10,000 yuan, but were not promoted, the others who gave money were promoted as expected.
Facts have proven that after police officers spend money to buy official positions, they mostly make money and commit crimes. Taking Li Guoen as an example, the verdict found that he sent 60,000 yuan to bribe Yang Qiang. After that, he took advantage of his position to receive only 187,000 yuan in casino protection fees. The court ruled that Li Guoen was guilty of bending the law for personal gain, offering and accepting bribes.

The verdict pointed out that in the Maoming He Xiaohua tax fraud case, He Xiaohua was a criminal suspect, but he told Zhong Liang, the leader of the Economic Investigation Brigade, that he was willing to donate 30,000 yuan to sponsor the Economic Investigation Brigade. After he was released on bail pending trial, , in dealing with the case of two fraud gangs, Yang Qiang and others intervened, and two suspects in the case were released on bail and five suspects were released!
When Yang Qiang was interrogated, he confessed that he owned 6 properties in Maoming, Guangzhou, Foshan and other places, and that he had lost millions of yuan in business and external borrowings, not counting them. Yang Qiang knew that Li Zhengang was suspected of committing a crime, but still accepted bribes from Li Zhengang and sent police to Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province to arrest Xie Jianxiong back to Maoming
The verdict found that between May 2007 and September 2009, Yang Qiang directly gave instructions Li Guoen and Zheng Guang allowed the establishment of casinos and asked Li Guoen and Zheng Guang to collect "protection fees" from the casinos and act as the "protective umbrella" for the casinos. Yang Qiang received 1.1825 million yuan in cash, Li Guoen received 187,000 yuan, and Zheng Guang received 97,500 yuan.
In addition to collecting protection fees, sponsorship fees, and setting up private cash boxes, the police officers’ role as protective umbrellas is the most harmful.
The verdict pointed out that since 1993, the underworld organization headed by Li Zhengang has been bullying the market, provoking troubles, opening gambling bureaus, lending usury, kidnapping and extortion, and plundering ill-gotten gains in Maoming.
In 2005, businessman Xie Jianxiong borrowed 4.9 million yuan from Li Zhengang. He later repaid 4 million yuan, but he was still being chased for debts due to the 20.48 million yuan loan sharking caused by "interest compounding". According to the law, loan sharking should be cracked down in accordance with the law. However, Li Zhengang bribed Yan De, the president of the Maogang District People's Court (handled in a separate case). The court actually ruled that Xie Jianxiong must repay the loan sharking, and ordered Xie Jianxiong to refuse to fulfill the court's ruling. The case was transferred to the public security organs for arrest.
Yang Qiang knew clearly that Li Zhengang was involved in illegal crimes, but still accepted bribes from Li Zhengang, sheltered and condoned the crime, and assigned police officers to ride in Li Zhengang's Mercedes-Benz SUV to Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province to arrest Xie Jianxiong back to Maoming. During his trial, Yang Qiang admitted that he had accepted 430,000 yuan in bribes from Li Zhengang.
According to the recent trial of Li Zhengang in the Guangzhou Intermediate Court, there was testimony that Li Zhengang, as a deputy to the National People's Congress, successfully "allied" with the Maogang Public Security Bureau and gave branch leader Yang Qiang a share of the crime.
The reporter from Nanfang Daily learned from the interview that according to the prosecutor’s accusation, the underworld organization headed by Li Zhengang committed intentional homicide, fraud, extortion, fabrication of evidence, illegal business operations, and money laundering from 2002 to 2009. In addition to the crimes committed by many state agency staff in the gang, including harboring underworld organizations, bending the law for personal gain, and accepting bribes, the total number of crimes charged is about 30. The trial of Li Zhengang's gang took up to two weeks in the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court. The case is still under further trial and the verdict will be announced at a later date. Yang Qiang was sentenced to life for his confession.

In view of the fact that he confessed during the investigation of the case-handling department that there were no Some of the bribery criminal facts that he has grasped include confessional circumstances, and the stolen money and stolen goods have been recovered after the incident, so he may be given a lighter sentence as appropriate.
