Chapter 33 Section 33 Someone Keeps Smuggling Evidence

As Xu said, he unzipped the zipper and took out from his bag the copies of 6 copies of guarantee letters related to the entry and unloading of refined oil processed by the company from October to November 1996.It recorded in detail the importing refined oil declaration unit, legal representative and address, telephone number, ship name, date of arrival at the port, certain oil products loaded, quantity, bill of lading number, official seal of the foreign shipping company, private seal of Xu X, and Signature and customs seal of Tong'an customs personnel. He also took out the port fee receipts for the six shipments of refined oil to Xiamen.This is an important basis for reflecting the traces of ships entering and leaving the port.

He went on to explain that in the past few years, "making oil" in Xiamen has made a lot of money, but in order to "make oil", no one can get rid of the control of Lai Changxing of Yuanhua Group.In order to engage in the "transit" business of oil products, foreign shipping companies need to obtain approval from the customs.So, Xu and Liang Dong, the general manager of the foreign supply company of the superior unit, went to find Lai Changxing, and asked Lai to go to Xiamen Customs Director Yang Qianqian to get it done.Thanks to Lai Changxing's personal action, the foreign supply company soon obtained the right to operate bonded oil entrepot trade.

Lai Changxing specially told Xu who was going to contact the "gas-traveling" business, and said that you can go to Hou Xiaohu directly.Because according to the internal division of labor operated by Yuanhua Group, Hou Xiaohu is in charge of the "oil" part.In addition to confessing that Lai Changxing and Hou Xiaohu of Yuanhua Group were involved in the case, Xu also confessed that the relevant persons involved in the case were: Xie Dongfeng, former deputy director of the Tongan Office of Xiamen Customs, Yang Mou, deputy chief of the First Supervision Section, Zhu Mou, a member of the First Supervision Section, etc. .

The case investigators ordered Xu to write down a material about his participation in the "traveling oil" business based on his memories: they went to the Tong'an office to find Xie Dongfeng, Yang, and Zhu, went through the formalities for the letter of guarantee, and then took the letter of guarantee back to Hou Xiaohu. And stamp the company's seal on the delivery and commodity inspection documents provided by Hou Xiaohu and Qiu Yunqiang.As for other things, they don't care. Xu kept the copy of the letter of guarantee and the receipt of the port fee, and when the special case team touched him, he submitted it to the special case team in time, and described the process of smuggling crude oil in detail; the facts themselves show that smuggling is a crime after all.On the territory of the republic ruled by the Communist Party, smuggling, a criminal act against the interests of the country and the people, is shady after all.Lai Changxing tried every means to destroy the evidence of smuggling, but he never expected that there were still a few people secretly keeping the evidence of smuggling.

Xu's confession accelerated the speed of investigation.The 6 voyages of smuggled oil smuggled by foreign suppliers and foreign shipping companies were investigated by investigators. In March 1996, Liang Dong, the general manager of the foreign supply company, Xu Mou, the manager of the foreign shipping company, and Lai Changxing discussed cooperation in the operation of re-exported diesel oil.Lai Changxing was responsible for signing contracts with foreign parties, and behind the scenes to clear the relationship between the port units. He adopted the method of unloading the goods with the letter of guarantee first, and then returning the letter of guarantee without going through the customs declaration procedures for the goods.The foreign shipping company is responsible for going out to the customs in its own name to handle the guarantee letter, animal and plant inspection, health inspection inspection procedures, commodity inspection weight, empty cabin identification, and procedures for foreign agents to replace small bills of lading. On October 22, 1996, Hou Xiaohu of Yuanhua Group notified Xu that the ship "Hongxin" carrying 28,900 tons of 0# diesel oil had arrived at Xiamen Port.

In less than a month, the Lai Changxing smuggling group handled the so-called "unloading with guarantee letter" procedures for five oil tankers including "Ocean Jupiter" in the same way, and successively unloaded more than 130,000 tons of diesel oil. After all the diesel oil had entered the port and entered the warehouse, Hou Xiaohu went to the customs with the letter of guarantee for 6 shipments of refined oil, and returned it to the customs for cancellation in the name of the ships not arriving at the port. The goods had not been declared and paid.Lai Changxing paid Ocean Shipping Company 1 million yuan in "profit" through Yuanhua Electronics Co., Ltd.The above six ships smuggled more than 150,000 tons of diesel oil, with a case value of 360 million yuan and tax evasion of about 82.15 million yuan.

On February 27, 2001, the first trial of the second batch of Xiamen extraordinarily large smuggling cases was announced. Liang Dong, the former general manager of Xiamen Foreign Supply Corporation, was sentenced to death with a suspended death sentence. He took advantage of his position to solicit and accept bribes equivalent to RMB from Lai Changxing and others. More than 4.53 million yuan.The crime should be sentenced to death and executed immediately. Because of the circumstances of surrender, it is better to confess the crime frankly, so he saved his life.
