The Guizhou High Court recently released a big news: Gao Weidong, former member of the Party Committee and director of the Guizhou Provincial Coalfield Geology Bureau and former chairman of Moutai Group, was sentenced for **. It's shocking! Gao Weidong, a cadre, was previously in a high-ranking position in Guizhou, with unlimited scenery, who would have thought that he would be planted on the ** in the end.
On February 2, 2024, the Intermediate People's Court of Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province, publicly pronounced the verdict in the case of Gao Weidong ** in the first instance. The court sentenced Gao Weidong to life imprisonment, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property. At the same time, Gao Weidong's income and its fruits were also recovered and handed over to the state treasury. That's great news! It is worth mentioning that such a severe punishment is not heavy compared to its own actions.
For more than 20 years from 1999 to 2022, Gao Weidong can be said to have tried his best to make personal profits in various positions. He provides assistance to those who want to run a company, contract engineering projects, obtain land development rights, buy Moutai, etc., and then receive their benefit fees. In this way, he received a total of 1More than 100 million yuan of property, of which more than 46.56 million yuan has not been actually obtained.
Think about it, 1More than 100 million yuan! That's a lot of money! If it is placed in an ordinary person's home, it will not be spent in a few lifetimes. But Gao Weidong accepted so much money so easily, how can he be so greedy?
But then again, Gao Weidong did not pay a price. He was sentenced to life in prison and will probably have to spend the rest of his life in prison, and his family will not be able to raise their heads among friends and relatives after that. Worst of all, all his property was confiscated, and all that money became stolen money and turned over to the state treasury. It's a loss-making result!
So the question is, why does Gao Weidong want to **? Actually, this is not difficult to understand. In real life, as soon as some people see cadres, they want to go through the back door and trust their relationships, hoping to get some benefits.
And a small number of cadres such as Gao Weidong just like to use their power and status to reap benefits and seek personal interests for themselves and their families. He felt that as long as he held power, others would beg him to do things, and then give him money and goods. This kind of mentality is really speechless, and in the end, it also harms them and makes them fall into the abyss of greed!
In fact, Gao Weidong's incident also sounded the alarm for us, after all, the powerful people are a minority, and most of them are ordinary people. We have to remind ourselves all the time not to do illegal and criminal things for the sake of temporary interests. After all, all that money is ill-gotten gains, and it is easy to take and will not end well.
In addition, Gao Weidong's incident also reminds us that we must have a bottom line in life and work. In particular, those public officials should always remind themselves not to be confused by immediate interests and embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes. After all, all that money is ill-gotten gains, and if you take it, you won't end well.
Gao Weidong's incident is really a lesson! We have to keep a clear head at all times and don't do things that we regret for the sake of momentary gain. It is hoped that public officials can take this as a warning, do not follow their old path, and always stick to their bottom line.
