[Epoch Times, January 11, 2022]Details of a corruption case in Changyang, a shareholder of the Agricultural Insurance Center of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Hengnan County, Hunan Province, were exposed. The pension is more than 17 million (RMB, the same below).
On January 10, the website of the National Supervisory Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China reported that in the middle of the night on February 1, 2021, Changyang, a conscription shareholder of the Agricultural Insurance Center of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Hengnan County, used multiple bank cards to withdraw money from an ATM of a local bank. When the system alarm was triggered due to long-term operation, the case of the tens of millions of social security funds surfaced. After investigation, Yang carried 612 social security cards and had withdrawn more than 150,000 yuan in cash.
Yang is accused of colluding with the heads of some township labor service stations from the end of 2015 to January 2021 to collect more than 900 social security cards of the deceased. Due to the untimely update of information, the system continues to issue social security funds to these social security cards. Yang illegally obtained the social security funds in these cards and then gave them to others, and kept the rest for himself.
Subsequently, Yang Mou also bought Liao Moumou, a cadre of the issuance unit of the Agricultural Insurance Center of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Hengnan County, and asked him to help activate the suspended social security card and obtain social security funds from it. As more and more cash was withdrawn, Yang found Wu, the director of the center, and offered him a favor, asking him to “give the green light” when approving the monthly pension. They also obtained more funds by raising the distribution standard and moving the distribution time forward.
According to reports, the persons involved in the case obtained and embezzled more than 17 million yuan of pensions by means of renewal of treatment, replacement of treatment and adjustment of treatment.
At present, 9 public officials suspected of joint embezzlement and 2 public officials suspected of dereliction of duty have been prosecuted, and 28 officials have been held accountable.
Mainland netizens criticized, “Supervision at all levels fails, and the exposure of the matter is just an accident.” “This should be investigated nationwide.” “Internal supervision is completely ineffective, and it was only discovered by the ATM alarm! How many such worms are in the national people’s social system? Relying on this loophole to make money wantonly?” “Guarding oneself and stealing, one more crime!”
In recent years, cases of pension embezzlement in mainland China have been frequently exposed. In April 2021, when Wen Yong, the former chief of the Pension Insurance Section of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, was approving the early retirement work of employees, he knew that the 187 people submitted by the trustor did not meet the requirements, but still approved the approval, resulting in the loss of national social security funds. Loss of more than 44 million yuan. As a result, he received more than 810,000 yuan in “facilitation fees”.
