Zhu Chenghong is the deputy stationmaster and general ledger accountant of Xiongzhou Street Economic Management Station in Liuhe District, Nanjing. He is addicted to the online game "Journey" and asks someone to practice the game for him at a high price. There are netizens from other places to exchange their experiences, and he covers all the expenses. In reality, the "small official" has become a "local tyrant" in the "journey". When the money is not enough, he misappropriates public funds, and over time it reaches 2.64 million yuan.
The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) recently learned that Nanjing Liuhe District Procuratorate has filed a public prosecution with Liuhe District Court for Zhu Chenghong’s embezzlement of public funds. At present, Zhu Chenghong has been sentenced to 11 years in prison.
Zhu Chenghong, who is nearly 40 years old, has been the deputy stationmaster and general ledger accountant of Xiongzhou Street Economic Management Station in Liuhe District since 2003. He is a "busy man", who travels at two ends every three days, and he is dressed brightly and fashionably. Apple phones have also changed from generation to generation.
It turns out that since 2005, Zhu Chenghong has been exposed to an online game called "Journey". The "hero" in the network made him find a response that he couldn’t expect in reality, and Zhu Chenghong quickly became addicted to the game world.
In order to realize the vanity in the network and reality, Zhu Chenghong has registered 12 game accounts, invited people to practice on his behalf at a high price, and even spent a lot of money buying equipment. Playing games and meeting friends all over the country are all "flying". Foreign netizens come to exchange their experience in the game, and all the accommodation and travel expenses of the other party are taken care of by him. Spending a lot of money, Zhu Chenghong became a "local tyrant".
As the deputy stationmaster of the street management station, Zhu Chenghong’s salary is not high, his family is not rich, and there is no other source of income. How can he spend so much money?
This will start with Zhu Chenghong’s work. Street management station is mainly responsible for rural collective finance, asset management and other work, and the state’s agriculture-related funds and subsidies are also distributed to villagers through the management station.
With the acceleration of urbanization, more and more rural land, assets and resources have been expropriated, requisitioned and leased, and the collective funds at the village level have increased rapidly. Zhu Chenghong, who was stretched by online games, finally reached out to these escrow funds.
From 2006 to 2012, he misappropriated funds from the fund account of the economic management station several times, and finally formed a "big hole" of more than 2 million yuan. With the villages pressing for debt collection and the Liuhe District Procuratorate investigating the fund management of the economic management station, Zhu Chenghong deeply felt that "paper can’t cover fire". In early October 2012, he came to the district procuratorate to surrender.
In October 2012, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Liuhe District Procuratorate filed a case for investigation on Zhu Chenghong’s alleged misappropriation of public funds. With the deepening of the investigation, the prosecutor found that the management station had serious violations of financial discipline and management regulations, such as seal management, irregular use and internal audit going through the motions. This is also the main reason why Zhu Chenghong embezzled public funds for six years and caused huge losses. Chi Chunlin, then the stationmaster of the economic management station, was in charge of supervision and was suspected of dereliction of duty.
The investigation shows that Chi Chunlin is not only a "faint official" but also a "corrupt official". From 2009 to 2012, Chi Chunlin took advantage of his position in charge of declaring and auditing rural public welfare projects and demanded bribes totaling 128,000 yuan from the village collectives who declared the projects.
In the end, Chi Chunlin was convicted of accepting bribes and dereliction of duty. He was sentenced to 12 years and 6 months in prison and confiscated 70,000 yuan of personal property. Zhu Chenghong was sentenced to 11 years in prison by Liuhe District Court for embezzlement of public funds.
