Foreword:
Our family has a fortune of 20 billion, and every mahjong game I participate in is about hundreds of thousands of yuan. The shocking words came from Zhang Jiahui, who was then the vice president of the Hainan Provincial High People's Court. This understatement finally detonated a series of problems hidden behind her. The judiciary is the guarantor of social justice and fairness, and the presiding judge plays a vital role in it. However, the abuse of power and the drive of selfish desires often erode judicial fairness, resulting in increasingly serious judicial corruption. We cannot turn a blind eye to this kind of corruption that deviates from the principle of justice and is driven by selfish desires. Zhang Jiahui is a remarkable case in the history of China's court system.
Huge corruption judge Zhang Jiahui: Collected 20 billion yuan, did not do a single practical thing for 30 years, and the verdict has 158 pages.
Zhang Jiahui was the vice president of the Hainan Provincial High People's Court and a member of the party group, and held extremely important powers and responsibilities. It is reported that she has amassed a fortune of up to 20 billion during her tenure, which is far more than ordinary people can imagine.
Zhang Jiahui was born in 1965 in an ordinary family in Wanzhou, Chongqing. Her parents were hard-working, hard-working. In this loving and caring family environment, Zhang Jiahui cultivated good moral character and perseverance. From an early age, she showed superhuman intelligence and an extreme thirst for knowledge.
She was a diligent student who worked hard to complete her studies and showed a deep interest in law and justice. Under the influence of family and education, she accepted the values of honesty and trustworthiness, fairness and integrity, and set a moral code for her later life behavior.
However, her upbringing does not provide an adequate explanation for her later actions. Zhang Jiahui graduated from Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and during her college years, she met Liu Yuansheng from Guizhou and fell in love with him. They registered their marriage in Chongqing in January 1990, and two years later, Zhang Jiahui and his wife began working at the Haikou Intermediate Court.
According to the recollections of some senior judges in Haikou, the couple's life was extremely difficult at the beginning, with a meager salary, and even the boxes used to move the family were woven from strips. At that time, many people did not think highly of them, thinking that they did not devote themselves to their work, as if they chose to work in the court out of desperation. Zhang Jiahui began working in January 1990 and joined the Communist Party of China in June 1998. She began her career as a judge at the Wanxian Intermediate People's Court in Sichuan Province, where she began as a clerk and assistant judge.
In order to improve her professional skills, Zhang Jiahui went to Southwest University of Political Science and Law for further study from September 1997 to June 2000 and obtained a doctorate degree in law. After obtaining her degree, she conducted postdoctoral research in law at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and was awarded a postdoctoral certificate in law in 2002.
During her tenure, Zhang Jiahui successively served in a number of important positions in the Hainan Provincial High Court. She has served as the assistant to the vice president of the Yangpu Intermediate People's Court, a member of the adjudication committee, the vice president of the civil trial division, the vice president of the trial supervision and the first president of the civil trial court. At the same time, she also served as a party leader and a judge of the Hainan Provincial High Court.
Everyone has their own personal hobbies, and Zhang Jiahui is no exception. Since 2011, Zhang Jiahui has found herself interested in playing mahjong. She often organizes mahjong events, but whether there are other intentions, we don't know. However, this secret was eventually made possible by the **behavior** of her husband's business partner, Yi Zhenwu.
In 2016, Zhang Jiahui and her husband attended the wedding of a relative. Since the Zhang family is influential in both political and business circles, they naturally became the focus of attention at the wedding. After the wedding banquet, everyone met to play mahjong, and the location was chosen in a luxury club under the name of Zhang Jiahui's husband Liu Yuansheng.
The consumption level of this high-end club will naturally not be low. After a game of mahjong, the amount of wins and losses starts at the 10,000 level. Such a high ** is unbearable for ordinary people. Seeing this kind of scene, Zhang Jiahui felt a sense of superiority, so he began to show off that he won and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in a game of mahjong. This was her show-off, but she didn't expect to be ** down.
The appearance of this ** left a deep impression on people, Zhang Jiahui, as a public official, her salary obviously cannot support such a luxurious lifestyle. However, given her husband's business success, there was no doubt about anything, only admiration for her husband's abilities.
However, Yi Zhenwu looked at this matter from a different angle. He has long had a grudge against Liu Yuansheng, but because he is helpless, he can only endure it all the time. However, this time, he got evidence of Zhang Jiahui's violation, and he did not hand it over immediately, but chose another way - using ** to threaten Liu Yuansheng and ask him for money.
During that period, the joint project of Yi Zhenwu and Liu Yuansheng came to an end, but Liu Yuansheng deliberately found fault and refused to pay off the project. Although Yi Zhenwu looked for him many times to ask for money, Liu Yuansheng always used various excuses to shirk. Yi Zhenwu had no choice but to use the recorded ** to seek justice for himself. However, he was just a contractor and didn't want to stir up a bigger turmoil, so he sent ** to Liu Yuansheng and left a message asking him to repay the loan as soon as possible.
However, Liu Yuansheng still calculated Yi Zhenwu, and he and his wife Zhang Jiahui did not intend to repay their debts. Instead, they set a trap to misinterpret Yi Zhenwu's actions as extortion and send him to prison. In fact, Zhang Jiahui used the power in her hands to serve her personal interests, not to help her husband's business, but because of a case.
At that time, someone killed someone accidentally, the facts of the case were clear, and the defendant would undoubtedly be sentenced to death. The defendant's parents came to the door to ask for help and inquire about the case, but since the final verdict had not yet been announced, Zhang Jiahui could only respond ambiguously. The defendant's parents saw her attitude and thought that their son had no chance of survival, and even knelt down and begged Zhang Jiahui to save their son, and expressed their willingness to repay on any terms. After a short period of thought, Zhang Jiahui agreed to them.
The defendant's parents were grateful, believing that Zhang Jiahui had helped, so they gave her a luxury villa as a thank you. Enjoying the benefits brought by power, Zhang Jiahui was naturally no longer satisfied with his previous life, so his greed became stronger and stronger. She began to go further and further down this path. When her husband learned that his wife had openly accepted a bribe, he did not try to stop it, but instead had a different plan to let his wife use her power to help him in his business.
In 2002, Liu Yuansheng saw others investing in real estate to make money, and he also wanted to join it. By this time, he and his wife had used their network of connections to accumulate some capital, and they wanted to make a fortune in the real estate market. At that time, housing prices in Hainan fell to a low point, and Liu Yuansheng seized the opportunity.
Relying on his wife's power, he acquired the land that had been idle before, successfully completed the first phase of the project, and made a lot of money. However, the second phase of the project clashed with the surrounding land, and finally let Liu Yuansheng out. We can guess how he did it, he had the vice president's wife behind him. Moreover, both of them are top students majoring in law, so they naturally know how to bypass the law.
With the beginning of the real estate industry, their business gradually expanded. Whatever land they fancie, they can get. They even control 35 enterprises, and their business areas involve tourism, commerce, film and television, medical and other aspects.
Their legal knowledge plays a key role in the entire process. Who would have thought that the former top students of law school would end up using the knowledge they have learned in improper things.
However, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and Zhang Jiahui's behavior was eventually revealed. After they sent Yi Zhenwu to prison, Yi Zhenwu also made his ** in his hands public. According to the investigation, the amount involved is as high as 20 billion yuan, which is a shocking figure. These huge sums of money not only seriously infringe on public property, but also seriously undermine judicial fairness and legal authority. Zhang Jiahui's corrupt behavior is undoubtedly a great shame for the judicial community.
On May 31, 2019, Zhang Jiahui was investigated on suspicion of serious disciplinary violations. On December 4, 2020, Zhang Jiahui was sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of **, administrative arbitrariness, fraud and other crimes, and her husband was sentenced to 18 years in prison. All the property in their names was confiscated, deprived of political rights for life, and fined 7.5 million yuan. Surprisingly, Ms. Zhang's 158-page verdict was for her crimes during her tenure, and it took the judge an hour to read them.
Judicial corruption is a problem that seriously affects judicial fairness and the construction of the rule of law, and we need in-depth thinking and active reform. By strengthening the supervisory mechanism, improving the quality of judicial personnel, and severely punishing corrupt practices, we can prevent similar situations from happening again. A fair and open trial undoubtedly played a positive role in promoting this. A fair and equitable judicial system is the key to maintaining social justice and promoting social development, and any kind of corruption should be severely punished by law, which is a truth that every citizen should keep in mind.
