Yanjing City, First Intermediate Court, Criminal Division.

At about 9:30 a.m., escorted by two bailiffs with solemn faces and neat clothes, the white-haired Wen Yi walked into the courtroom.

Wen Yi, who is 54 years old, was the former official to the vice president of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the vice president of the State Development Bank, and a deputy B-level official. Wen Yi was young and ambitious, and he had several entrances and exits in important positions in financial supervision, and he had the power and status to call for wind and rain in the domestic financial market, and countless companies and capital brokers who tried to go public through the capital market surrounded him, and through his intervention in the operation of the capital market and the financial market, he sought huge benefits from it, so he had the title of "king of finance" in the market.

However, with the continuous increase of the country's anti-corruption efforts, Wen Yi's series of violations of law and discipline were included in ZZZ's special investigation. It is said that since Wen Yi himself was taken away at the end of last year, people related to the Wen Yi case have been taken away one after another, and those who have been transferred have been taken away, causing a great shock in the domestic financial market.

In particular, the suicide of Han Xi, the chairman of Guojing Securities, who is known as the "last big man in the rivers and lakes" and the founder of the well-known "Yongjin Department" in the capital market, has added a layer of blood to this high-ranking official corruption case, and people can't help but speculate whether there is a more powerful force behind Wen Yi that has not been dug up.

But no matter what, Wen Yi's fate was decided when he was taken away, and the next thing was to wait for the judicial channel. And everyone who is concerned about this matter is waiting for the final result with fear.

Because Wen Yi's influence in the financial market is too great, and there are countless companies and projects that have entered the capital market through his hand, I don't know how many of them are inferior assets that are "listed with diseases".

With Wen Yi being caught, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, the accompanying wave after wave of reactions, I don't know how many listed companies will be implicated in this case, so this case is also called "the biggest event in China's capital market after the fall of the Delong system" by the well-known financial commentator Ye Tang.

Standing in the courtroom, this once high-spirited and invincible "king of finance" had a haggard face, slightly sunken cheeks, and some black eyes, and his undyed gray hair could not hide the top of his half-bald head, and his tall body was also a little rickety.

Wen Yi glanced around the auditorium, and did not find that any family members came to observe, he had divorced his ex-wife a few years ago, and the girlfriend with outstanding looks and elegant temperament did not appear today, his eyes flashed a trace of decadence, and then he regained his composure, turned his head, and faced the presiding judge.

A total of six prosecutors from the prosecution appeared in court, and because Wen Yi did not hire a lawyer, the criminal lawyer appointed by the First Intermediate People's Court appeared in court to defend him.

There are three main crimes that the prosecution charged Wen Yi with:

Article 1: Wen Yi took advantage of his position as vice president of the State Development Bank to accept the request of Zhuo Hong, chairman of the board of directors of Yungang Sunrise Steel Slag Development Co., Ltd., to facilitate the processing of loans for a period of time, and accepted bribes of 6 million yuan from Zhuo Hong on 12 occasions.

Second, when Lin Tao, a businessman from Hong Kong, was undertaking a highway project in Xiangchu Province, he obtained a bank loan through Wen Yi and offered a bribe of 5 million yuan to Wang Yi. The case materials show that Lin Tao has been arrested.

Article 3, the briber has the same name as Wen Yi's younger brother, also named Wen Lei, this Wen Lei handled loans for other enterprises, Wen Lei received a benefit fee of 3 million yuan, and Wen Yi asked Wen Lei for 1 million yuan.

Wen Yi listened to the prosecution's accusations calmly, he did not refute or retract his confession, but admitted all the charges in court and admitted that he had accepted a bribe of 12 million yuan. He took the initiative to tell the judge how he had taken bribes and the flow of each money, which was concise and logical.

Wen Yi said that he didn't know what the briber Lin Tao was trying to do with him, but now he understands that Lin Tao is trying to bring benefits to his position. Wen Yi also said that this is his use of direct power and influence outside of power to seek benefits for others, and he also benefited.

Whether it was questioned by the prosecutor or his lawyer, Wen Yi answered the questions positively, with a very sincere and honest attitude, and did not look like he was flying before the crime, so the trial went very smoothly.

In the end, Wen Yi said to the judge, "I plead guilty, I have violated the law and betrayed the trust of the people, I feel deep remorse, I am willing to accept the punishment of the law, I will not appeal." ”

In this way, the trial of this case, which attracted major attention from the financial and economic circles, was quickly completed, and the First Intermediate People's Court did not announce the verdict in court.

The media who followed the case outside the court were generally disappointed, they did not see the legendary scene of fierce arguments in the courtroom, nor did they see the dramatic content of the party's retraction of the confession, the party was like a criminal who surrendered himself, confessed to the crime on the spot, and the identity and character of the party, and the status of the party before the crime, which made them feel a little regretful.

The trial was too smooth, too lacking in communicable news elements, and how boring it was to report. Some of the more nimble reporters began to look for peachy elements that could be used for hype in the case files provided by the court.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off, some found it, they began to associate it, and began to play.

For people in the financial circle and those involved in the transaction of Wen Yi's power and money, everyone was surprised to find that the "Guojing Securities Listing Case" was not mentioned in the charges charged by the prosecutor. Because this is the most concerned thing in the financial circle, everyone knows that there is a greasy in the listing process of Guojing Securities, and the reason why Guojing Securities can be listed is that it is impossible to operate without gentle energy.

Thinking of Han Xi's unnatural death, the listing case of Guojing Securities was not mentioned in this trial, but Wen Yi was charged with several crimes with relatively minor amounts and circumstances, as well as Wen Yi's sincere and straightforward admission attitude during the trial. Some imaginative people will inevitably wonder whether Wen Yi has won a mitigated case for himself by actively cooperating with the investigation team.

Or, the above does not want to expand the case, and does not want to continue to dig deeper, so as not to startle the snake.

That's why he controlled Wen Yi's crime within a certain range and gave him a way out.

Of course, all this is just speculation.

The stakes were high, and no one wanted to get themselves in trouble, and the speculation was just a ripple that quickly disappeared without a trace.

However, in circles that ordinary people can't reach, there must be some people who secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

They thought that they were in a high position and no one dared to move, they thought that the rat trap above stopped here, and they thought that they had escaped smoothly, but they forgot.

Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.
