In the charge, Lei Ting was exposed to bribing a house worth more than 510,000 yuan in Luo Yinguo, taking bribes of more than 3 million yuan, and abusing his power caused the country to lose 119 million yuan. In court, Lei Ting denied all charges.
According to the indictment of Lei Ting’s case, Luo Yinguo, the former party secretary of Maoming City, has been sentenced.
After Luo Yinguo was investigated, he also "fallen off the horse"
On February 10, 2011, after Luo Yinguo, former secretary of the municipal party committee of Maoming City, Guangdong Province, was detained by the Guangdong Provincial Procuratorate for "suspected duty crime", officials and business owners involved in Maoming City and municipal districts and counties were taken away by the task force, including Zhu Yuying, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of Maoming Municipal People’s Congress, and Li Ritian, former secretary of Dianbaiyuan County Party Committee. Two weeks later, on February 24th, Lei Ting, assistant mayor of the municipal government, was "double-regulated" by the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
After the investigation by Guangdong Provincial Procuratorate ended, Lei Ting was accused of bribery, bribery and abuse of power, and was handed over to Guangzhou Procuratorate for review and prosecution on September 18, 2012. Yesterday, the Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court sent a judge to Huadu to hear the case. Lei Ting denied all the allegations of bribery, bribery and abuse of power.
In court, he said that "he has never received any money from anyone".
Lei Ting was born in June 1960, a native of Gaozhou, Guangdong Province. He used to be the director of Maoming City Construction Bureau and Maoming City Planning Bureau. When he was "double-regulated", he served as the assistant to the mayor of Maoming Municipal Government, and the official was at the deputy department level.
Accused of bribing a suite in Luo Yinguo
Lei Ting said that he probably met Luo Yinguo when he was working in Gaozhou. According to Luo Yinguo’s statement in his testimony, he met Lei Ting when he was a member of the Standing Committee and Secretary-General of Maoming Municipal Committee in 1999. At that time, Lei Ting was the deputy director of the Construction Committee. In 2001, Lei Ting was appointed as the director of Maoming Construction Bureau.
Luo Yinguo said that after they met, Lei Ting hoped to get his care and promotion. From 2001 to the Spring Festival in 2005, Lei Ting gave him 50,000 yuan a year, and in 2006, he also sent 10,000 Australian dollars to his daughter to go abroad. In 2005, Luo Yinguo was appointed as the mayor of Maoming. Luo Yinguo said that Lei Ting gave him a house worth 380,000 yuan and a parking space worth 100,000 yuan this year.
At that time, he said he would give money to Lei Ting, who said it was for him.
The indictment clarified Luo Yinguo’s statement. According to the indictment, in 2005, when Lei Ting was the director of the Construction Bureau of Maoming City, Guangdong Province, the bureau was raising funds to build a staff dormitory. In order to seek the care of Luo Mengguo, then mayor of Maoming City, Guangdong Province, Lei Ting gave a property in the community (Room 1601, Building 1, No.99 Xiyue South Road, Maoming City, valued at RMB 511,577) to Luo Mengguo. Lei Ting paid all the purchase price of the property, and Luo Mengguo accepted the property without paying the purchase price to Lei Ting.
After bribery, he was recommended by the secretary for promotion.
According to the indictment, in 2008, when recommending the post of assistant to the mayor of Maoming City, Guangdong Province and the leader of the post-disaster aid team in Yinxing Township, Wenchuan, Lei Ting was able to hold the post through the recommendation and coordination of Luo Mengguo, then secretary of Maoming Municipal Party Committee.
In this regard, Luo Yinguo said in his testimony that at that time, considering that Lei Ting gave him 250,000 yuan, 10,000 Australian dollars and a house and parking space, he took advantage of his position to take care of and promote Lei Ting. However, the indictment recorded that Lei Ting had bribed a suite in Luo Yinguo, and the rest of the money was not recognized by the prosecution.
Liao Mou, a witness and then director of Maoming Bulk Cement Management Office, said that at that time, the Construction Bureau built a fund-raising house, and Lei Ting, as the director, negotiated with the developer to leave the best house for Luo Yinguo. Luo Yinguo’s daughter moved in around October 2009.
Speaking of this suite, Lei Ting argued that the fund-raising room of the Construction Bureau can only be subscribed by people in a special range, which is different from ordinary commercial houses sold in the society.
"On one occasion, I went to his (Luo Yinguo) office to report my work, and he said,’ You are building a house there, and my driver and secretary want to participate. You should try to handle it for them’. He spoke for his secretary. Then I asked,’ What about you?’ He said,’ Oh, let’s have a set.’ "
Lei Ting said that both the driver and the secretary in Luo Yinguo later retired because the price was too expensive. Lei Ting repeatedly said that he didn’t give the house to Luo Yinguo, and Luo was the mayor at that time, so it was not convenient to go through the formalities for fear of negative impact. Therefore, the two sides verbally agreed that he would go through the formalities for Luo Dianzi, and Luo would give him money after getting the real estate license, but he still didn’t get the certificate until he was "double-regulated".
At present, the Lei Ting case has not yet been pronounced.
