What is the result of the investigation into the gang-related case of the former vice president of Shanxi Linyi Court?

Wearing handcuffs, shackles, and an iron chain in the middle, Taiyuan boss Liu Ming (pseudonym) was brought to Hao Wanji, deputy director of the Linyi County Court in Yuncheng, Shanxi.

Recalling the scene on May 26, Liu Ming said that it was only then that he realized that he might have fallen into a trap.

Because he borrowed money from others, Liu Ming said that he was sued by his creditor without knowing it. He was defeated by the Linyi Court in absentia without receiving a summons or seeing the court announcement. Subsequently, the creditor filed a criminal private prosecution on the grounds of suspected refusal to execute the judgment. Later, Liu Ming was chased online.

After being imprisoned in the Linyi County Detention Center, Liu Ming discovered that there were seven or eight people in a similar situation to him. Behind the cases of these people lies the same figure - Hao Wanji, who has served as the director and deputy director of the Linyi County Court Enforcement Bureau.

On April 25, 2018, the Linyi County Public Security Bureau issued a notice stating that "the case of a suspected criminal gang headed by Hao Wanji was cracked." Linyi police also issued a reward notice for four fugitives involved in gang-related crimes, including Ma and Shi. According to the Beijing Youth Daily, the four persons offering rewards are related to a suspected criminal gang headed by Hao Wanji.

According to public media reports, the day before the announcement, Hao Wanji was taken away by the public security organs after attending a special meeting of the Linyi County Party Committee to combat gangs and eliminate evil. Also taken away almost at the same time was Linyi Court bailiff Liu Tao, who had a close relationship with Hao.

Unconsciously he became a fugitive

Liu Ming is the boss of a steel trading company in Taiyuan. In April 2013, one of his loans from a bank was about to expire. Because the capital turnover was difficult, the bank proactively recommended Zhang Guohua, a native of Linyi, to him and asked him to borrow money from Zhang so that he could repay the bank loan.

With just one phone call and no face-to-face meeting, Zhang Guohua transferred 8 million yuan to the account of Liu Ming's company and agreed on an annual interest rate of 20. Liu Ming didn't think much about it, but he felt that Zhang Guohua made the payment without meeting him. "This person is either very rich or has special connections."

Three months later, Zhang Guohua visited Liu Ming's company, extended the loan time, and even offered to "reduce the interest rate."

In February 2016, Liu Ming first repaid 500,000 of the 8 million and re-signed a loan agreement with Zhang Guohua. The two parties agreed that the 7.5 million yuan would be repaid on June 5, 2016. "The interest will be paid off at the same time. If there are difficulties, the interest will be extended for another three months." This time the agreement also added a special clause: If there is a dispute, a lawsuit will be filed in Linyi Court.

On June 13, 2016, eight days after the agreed repayment date, Linyi Court accepted their loan dispute. But before that, Liu Ming, who was on the phone 24 hours a day for business, had never received a communication call or text message from Zhang Guohua. Since then, neither Liu Ming nor his company employees have received a court summons, nor have they seen court opening announcements or other judicial documents.

In this regard, Song Chaowu, a professor of civil procedure law at China University of Political Science and Law, said that if the company and the parties involved do not receive the litigation documents, the court procedures are suspected of being illegal, and the company and himself should raise objections.

Shanxi Tianshi Building Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Tianshi Building Materials") also experienced a similar experience.

In 2016, Tianshi Building Materials fell into a debt dispute and was sued by creditors, but it never received a court summons or other litigation documents. For this reason, Tianshi Building Materials believed that Linyi Court violated legal procedures and raised objections. But the objection was dismissed.

According to the Civil Procedure Law, litigation documents and other documents can be served directly, served by entrustment, served with lien, etc. If the addressee's whereabouts are unknown or the delivery cannot be made by other means, service may be made by public announcement. And it can only be deemed delivered after 60 days from the date of issuance of the announcement.

As for Liu Ming, he still does not know which method of service the Linyi Court adopted for him. Judging from the judgment obtained a year later, the case was heard in public on July 26. At that time, it was less than 45 days before the court accepted the case. During the trial, the defendant Liu Ming and his company did not appear in court, appoint an agent, respond, or provide evidence.

Only a week later, Linyi Court made a default judgment in the case. Liu Ming and his company lost the case and should return 7.5 million yuan and interest to the plaintiff Zhang Guohua within 10 days after the judgment took effect. In addition, the case acceptance fee of 67,800 yuan was also borne by Liu Ming and his company.

Liu Ming said that because he did not receive a judgment, neither he nor the company appealed after losing the case. On October 10, 2016, Linyi Court initiated the execution procedure of this case. On January 17, 2017, Zhang Guohua filed another criminal private prosecution against Liu Ming, saying that he was suspected of refusing to execute the judgment and found guilty, and the case was successfully filed. According to judicial documents, on February 14, Linyi Court made a decision to arrest Liu Ming and began to pursue him online.

As for Liu Ming’s above statement, on May 30, I asked Linyi Court for confirmation. The spokesperson of the court politely refused and did not respond to the matter.

In this regard, Song Chaowu said that after the judgment takes effect, the court will notify him to declare his property. If he refuses to declare, he can file a criminal case for refusing to execute the judgment and ruling. But Liu Ming said that it was only a year later that he learned in the court archives that he had been asked to declare his property. Song Chaowu believed that "there is a problem with the court's procedures."

Many people in the detention center had similar experiences

In March 2017, Liu Ming learned from a friend in the political and legal system Got the news: There is something wrong with your ID card and you have become a fugitive.

It was only then that he realized that something had happened to him, and began to use connections to find out the ins and outs of the whole thing. "They paid me 8 million without even meeting me, and they agreed that any disputes would be resolved in Linyi Court. Then I lost the case in absentia, and then the civil case was converted into a criminal case." After roughly figuring out what happened, he felt He fell into a trap.

Unable to swallow this breath, Liu Ming reported his real name to the Linyi Court to the Discipline Inspection Commission of Shanxi Province and Yuncheng City, claiming that the court had deprived him of his right of reply, right of appeal and other litigation rights, but he did not receive a reply.

In August 2017, an account of more than 7.5 million yuan in Liu Ming’s company was frozen by the Linyi Court. Immediately afterwards, he himself was taken away by Taiyuan police. "Taiyuan police said that I was listed as an online fugitive by Linyi Public Security. They called Linyi Public Security in person (asking them to come over) to detain me, but the police did not come, so they asked Linyi Court to be contacted." Liu Ming said, then, He was escorted back to Linyi by Linyi court bailiffs and sent to a detention center.

In the detention center, Liu Ming met seven or eight people, all of whom had similar experiences to him. They first got into a debt dispute and were sued and given a default judgment without knowing anything. One of them, Zhang Junmin (pseudonym), was like him. When he discovered the problem, he was wanted online and became a fugitive.

It is understood that Hao Wanji is in charge of execution and part of the civil trial work at Linyi Court. Several parties, including Liu Ming and Zhang Junmin, told reporters that Hao Wanji was behind their cases and that Hao Wanji intervened in the case.

Han Xiaofang (pseudonym), the principal of a private school in Linyi, was not arrested, but she thought her experience was even more disturbing.

On May 23, 2018, Han Xiaofang recalled that at the end of May 2008, the Linyi Court suddenly posted an enforcement notice in her school. It was a handwritten version with black characters on a white background, without the court’s seal. Red seal. After the notice was posted, the half-constructed school stopped work and more than 700 students dropped out. Only then did Han Xiaofang find out that she had been sued by the Linyi County Civil Affairs Bureau, and that it had been three months since the first instance verdict was pronounced, which was long past the appeal deadline.

Han Xiaofang said that the cause of this lawsuit was that in 2000, she purchased the use rights of 20 acres of land from the Civil Affairs Bureau to build a school building. The two parties agreed on a total price of 1.25 million, with Han Xiaofang paying a down payment of 335,500, and a balance of more than 900,000 after the Civil Affairs Bureau transferred the land certificate to her name. "After I paid the down payment, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau refused to apply for a land certificate for me." Han Xiaofang said that she did not give me the remaining 900,000 yuan.

In order to inquire about the lawsuit, Han Xiaofang approached the Civil Affairs Bureau and the county government. The deputy county magistrate and deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau insisted that there was absolutely no prosecution. A friend who worked in Linyi Court secretly copied the verdict for her, which clearly stated: Plaintiff Linyi County Civil Affairs Bureau.

"As a defendant, I did not receive a summons, did not attend the trial, and did not receive a judgment. The plaintiff denied that he was the plaintiff, but the court wanted to enforce my execution." Han Xiaofang felt that her situation was too embarrassing.

Afterwards, she went to the court specifically to check the receipt of service of the summons, complaint, and notice of production of evidence in response to the lawsuit. The record shows "I refuse to accept".

The client was handcuffed and legcuffed after being arrested

Similar to Liu Ming, what put Zhang Junmin into a disadvantageous situation was an 8 million yuan loan.

After being imprisoned in the detention center, Zhang Junmin asked relatives and friends outside for help. He first paid 3 million yuan to repay the debt, and also mortgaged a house worth more than 20 million yuan to prepare for auction to continue repaying the money.

“3 million was paid into the personal account of bailiff Liu Tao.” On May 24, 2018, he was released after the money was transferred, and he stayed in the account for more than a month.

Liu Ming was relatively lucky and only stayed in the detention center for 5 days.

He still remembers the first time he met Hao Wanji. On the day he was escorted from Taiyuan to Linyi, at around 6 p.m., Liu Ming was sitting on the sofa in the court with handcuffs. After a tall, bald man over 1.8 meters tall entered the room, several bailiffs quickly stood up, and bailiff Liu Tao yelled, "Stand up, handcuff him behind his back, and stand still." The visitor was Hao, the deputy director of Linyi Court. Wanji.

Liu Ming said that that night, his brother gave Hao Wanji a dozen cartons of cigarettes and some local specialties.

The next day, he went to the Public Security Bureau to go through the detention procedures. The detention center removed Liu Ming's handcuffs, but the court bailiff put handcuffs and shackles on him, with chains connecting them. Liu Ming could only move forward while bending over. "Just like a death row prisoner, I asked the bailiff to lift me up when I got into the car." His wife cried when she saw this scene in the court. Liu Ming believes that Hao Wanji is putting pressure on his family members in this way.

After completing the formalities, Liu Ming and his family came to Hao Wanji's office in the court. Hao Wanji said that the debt should be calculated based on a monthly interest of five cents (equivalent to an annual interest of 60). Liu Ming didn't know how the other party calculated the interest and principal. In short, in addition to the 7.5 million frozen by the company, Hao Wanji said, "Another five to six million must be paid before he can be released."

Two days later, Zhang Guohua came to the court and reached a settlement agreement with Liu Ming and his family. First, the frozen company assets of 7.5 million yuan were used to repay the money; secondly, Liu Ming's brother collected 480,000 yuan and transferred it to the court account; thirdly, another 3 million yuan was required to be paid back, and before repayment, 500 yuan from relatives was used. Square meters of real estate as guarantee; fourth, Zhang Guohua withdrew Liu Ming’s private prosecution and gave up pursuing Liu’s criminal responsibility. In other words, if Liu Ming wants to be released, he will have to pay 10.98 million yuan.

Hao Wanji also provided a template of the self-reflection letter and asked Liu Ming to copy it. "This is what the template says. I owe money and I will not repay it. I deeply realized my mistakes under the education of the court. Everything I did was voluntary. I thank the court for criticizing and educating me." Liu Ming said.

On the day the agreement was reached, Linyi Court went through the procedures for Liu Ming to be released on bail pending trial. Liu Ming said that his wife also requested copies of the judgment and case files, but was refused by the archives office. "At my wife's repeated requests, the other party asked Hao Wanji for instructions before allowing the judgment to be copied."

Liu Ming said that before leaving, Hao Wanji left a message, "We are not finished yet, we must The lawsuit can't be withdrawn until the money (referring to 3 million) is paid."

Afterwards, Liu Ming asked Zhang Guohua face to face, why he refused to communicate and went to the court to sue without saying a word? Zhang Guohua expressed his apology privately, "He said he had no choice but to get to this point. This was not his intention. But he couldn't make the decision. He spent 30% of his debt to sue me," Liu Ming said.

On June 9, 2018, I called Zhang Guohua for verification. Zhang Guohua said that the case has been closed and it is inconvenient to be interviewed.

According to people close to Hao Wanji, Hao Wanji controls two microfinance companies through people outside the court, and uses judicial procedures to collect debts while lending money.

Real estate developers from other places said they were threatened and "cannot win the lawsuit"

Since the enforcement notice was posted at the end of May 2008, Han Xiaofang's school has been sealed and has not been auctioned so far.

At that time, Hao Wanji was still the director of the Enforcement Bureau of Linyi Court, and Han Xiaofang, whose financial chain was broken, went to his home many times to plead for mercy.

The two are elementary school alumni, and Hao Wanji calls Han Xiaofang the "school beauty." When visiting, Han Xiaofang would bring some small gifts, and once bought several kilograms of shrimp. That time, Hao Wanji dismissed the things she brought and opened boxes of shrimps sent by others, "Look at the prawns they gave me. Look what you are getting!"

After begging for mercy many times, Hao Wanji finally stated his intention. "He said that as long as he takes over the school project, he can owe 100,000 and pay back 8,000," Han Xiaofang said. Hao Wanji said the same thing many times later, but she always disagreed.

Until August 2010, Han Xiaofang almost saw the light of day. At that time, a new director came to the Linyi County Land and Resources Bureau, and the 20 acres of land owned by the County Civil Affairs Bureau were put up for auction again. Han Xiaofang paid a deposit of 1.38 million, and the certificate can be issued 7 days after the announcement. "At that time, the bailiff from the Linyi Court Enforcement Bureau brought an A4 paper, which said that the land auctioned by the court could not be certified." Han Xiaofang said that there was no official seal of the court on the paper, only Hao Wanji's signature.

Another project that Hao Wanji tried to take over was Yijinyuan, a commercial housing community developed in 2013 by a foreign owner. On May 25, 2018, Jiang Xiaohui (pseudonym), the project leader of Yijinyuan, told reporters that due to several debt disputes in 2015, the Linyi Court successively sealed more than 400 houses in the project and prohibited the transfer of these pre-sold properties. , buy and sell.

Jiang Xiaohui said that Hao Wanji’s purpose in seizing the property was to drive away the project department and take over the development himself. In the court office, Hao Wanji once told him bluntly, "Your company can't win the lawsuit. How about I help you find a successor, and if you leave Linyi, I will help you."

According to people close to Hao Sources from Wanji revealed that as a civil servant, Hao Wanji actually participated in the development of Shangpin·Mingshiyuan and senior citizen apartment complexes in Linyi County. He used the same method to drive away foreign developers, found an acquaintance to take over the business, and made the first pot of gold.

In December 2016, the 820,000 yuan in wage guarantee funds for migrant workers paid by Yijinyuan to the Linyi County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau was also forcibly withdrawn by the Linyi Court. On May 27, 2018, staff from the Linyi County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau confirmed that this move was done by Hao Wanji.

Acquired materials show that in November 2016 and January 2017, the County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau wrote to Linyi Court twice to object to the forcible deduction of Yijinyuan’s wage security fund. The letter stated, “The ownership of the security fund temporarily belongs to the Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, and it is extremely inappropriate for the court to deduct the money from our bureau’s wage security fund account. The wage security fund account is earmarked and can only be used to repay arrears to employees (including migrant workers). )’s salary.”

After several disputes, the salary deposit was still withdrawn.

Members of the gang involved in the case were accused of collecting "protection fees"

In addition to being involved in real estate, Hao Wanji also actually controls Shanxi Anhao Security Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Anhao Security") , run by his subordinates.

Industrial and commercial information shows that the company was established in November 2014 with a registered capital of 2 million yuan. Shi Xiaobo, the company manager and one of the shareholders, also serves as the legal representative and executive director of Shanxi Hanjie Industrial Co., Ltd. The registered address of Hanjie Industrial is No. 1825, Shuangta North Road, Linyi, which is where the senior citizen apartment developed by Hao Wanji is located. In addition, Shi Xiaobo was also included in the wanted list issued by Linyi police on April 25 this year.

Jiang Xiaohui said that at the beginning of 2015, people from Anhao Security went to the Yijinyuan construction site to collect security fees. “They said that whenever someone makes trouble, Hao Wanji will send someone to settle it. The security fee is 100,000 yuan a year. Normally, No one was sent.” Jiang Xiaohui said that the security fee was actually “protection fee.” “The company didn’t want to cause trouble, so it only paid 50,000 yuan.”

When Yijinyuan was sealed by the court in 2016, Hao Wanji again. Mentioned the security fee to Jiang Xiaohui. "He said you still owe us 50,000 yuan in security fees. Please pay us 50,000 yuan first and then start work." Jiang Xiaohui recalled.

Having dealt with Hao Wanji for many years, Jiang Xiaohui’s impression of him is that he is domineering. “He has a bald head all year round and is 1.8 meters tall. He gives people the impression of being very domineering. He drives a Buick Business When driving to work, the license plate is never displayed.”

After Yijinyuan was sealed in 2016, there were mass incidents between the owners and migrant workers asking for wages. In order to solve the problem, the deputy secretary of the Linyi County Party Committee and the deputy county magistrate convened a coordination meeting between the developer and the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, the Letters and Calls Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, the Court, the Justice Bureau and other departments. Hao Wanji attended on behalf of the court.

During the meeting, Jiang Xiaohui said that the cause of the incident was that the court did not act in accordance with the law. "Before he said a few words, Hao Wanji slapped the table and couldn't speak, slammed the door and left."

According to people close to Yuncheng's political and legal system, Hao Wanji's domineering behavior is well-known in Linyi Court. . After Hao was promoted to vice president in 2015, leaders of the Yuncheng political and legal system visited Linyi Court. On the welcome sign produced by the court, Hao Wanji was ranked behind the other three vice presidents. "He threw away the welcome sign on the spot."

Also considered arrogant is Liu Tao, a bailiff who has a close relationship with Hao Wanji.

On May 21, 2018, Hou Ligang, a farmer from Linyi, told Liu Tao that when Liu Tao was executing his brother's homestead dispute case two years ago, he failed to show any formalities and pushed his 76-year-old mother down into a coma. After Hou Ligang argued with Liu Tao, he sent his mother to the hospital. At the entrance of the hospital, Liu Tao and more than a dozen people beat Hou Ligang. Later, the Linyi Court detained Hou for 15 days for "obstructing judicial officers from performing official duties." "I had more than 600 yuan on me at the time. The money was confiscated by Liu Tao when I was detained. He said it was the detention fee." Hou Ligang said.

After being released from the detention center, Hou Ligang posted the above experience online. Someone changed the title of the post to "President Hao of Linyi Court gave me an explanation." Soon, Hou Ligang received a call from Hao Wanji, "He said you should delete the post quickly. If you don't delete it, believe it or not, I will punish you!" Hou Ligang said.

According to media reports, shortly after Hao Wanji was taken away, the Linyi County Public Security Bureau took away bailiff Liu Tao from the court.

According to previous media reports, the "Reward Notice" from Hao Wanji's task force showed that in the early morning of April 26, a member of Hao Wanji's gang threw a gun about 80 cm long into the Yellow River. The Public Security Bureau has offered a reward of 20,000 yuan for the search.

The "Press Release" previously provided by Linyi Court to the media Beijing time stated that Hao Wanji entered the hospital as a typist in October 1983, shortly after he turned 16, and joined the army two years later. After serving as a compulsory soldier for more than two years, he was discharged from the army in September 1988 and returned to the court. He started as an assistant judge and was promoted step by step to deputy chief judge and chief judge, and then joined the party group and the judicial committee, serving as an executive for nearly 10 years. Director. In November 2015, he was promoted to deputy dean.

On May 30, the spokesperson of Linyi Court told that the interview needs to be approved by the Policy Research Office of Yuncheng Intermediate People’s Court. Yao Yunxing, director of the Policy Research Office of Yuncheng Intermediate People’s Court, said that the Hao Wanji case is currently in the investigation stage. , it is inconvenient to be interviewed. The person in charge of the Publicity and Education Section of the Linyi County Public Security Bureau also said that the case is serious and the publicity department currently knows nothing about the case.

Han Xiaofang, who was on the high-speed rail, burst into tears when she heard the news of Hao Wanji's arrest. The school has been in disrepair for more than ten years, and the grass on the campus is more than one meter high.

This time, she felt that the dawn was really close.

Know the law and break the law.
