In recent years, the issue of overseas pursuit of fugitives has always been one of the main tasks that government departments are constantly trying to promote.
However, in terms of results, it is indeed relatively limited, and it can be said that progress is slow.
For various reasons, some of which are on the American side and some are on the Chinese side, the progress in this work has been very limited anyway
As a matter of fact, Li Guiyuan knew that there had been cooperation between the judicial departments between Huaxia and the United States seven years ago, and this had also involved the issue of repatriating corrupt officials in the United States
The IRS has also introduced measures to welcome reports on bank deposits, real estate and other assets hidden by corrupt Chinese officials who immigrated to the United States, and the IRS will keep the whistleblower confidential and give a reward of 15% and 30% of the tax-related amount.
But this statement by a U.S. official has no practical significance.
"Since there is no criminal extradition treaty or mutual legal assistance agreement between the two countries, even if our government issues a wanted warrant, the United States will not pay attention to it." When mentioning this matter, Li Guiyuan said, "Just recently, the person in charge of a state-owned company in the south rolled more than 100 million yuan in China and ran to Los Angeles. Interpol issued a red notice for the person, and someone from the Huaxia police department came to Los Angeles, but they couldn't bring him back. What's even more infuriating is that although he is wanted by Interpol, he still got a green card through investment immigration. β
"It's really difficult for the Americans to do it." Lin Xiao nodded in acknowledgement.
After the latest congress, the central government began to intensify its anti-corruption efforts, and it was clear that the flight of corrupt officials and the outflow of funds from the country were accelerating.
Real estate in big cities in Canada, the United States and Singapore all skyrocketed last year, and most of the buyers were Chinese.
"Now the state encourages state-owned enterprises to go out to invest, although most of them may really go abroad to set up factories, but there are still some transfer funds." Lin Xiao said, "For example, someone exported a batch of goods worth 30 million, but he only reported 10 million and sold it, and 20 million was left abroad, which is a relatively common way of money laundering." In addition to the lack of judicial cooperation in this area, the government's lax immigration policy is also due to the difficulty of apprehending corrupt officials who have fled to the United States. At present, the way for corrupt officials in China to obtain immigration status is often investment immigration, and corrupt officials first send their relatives to the United States in the form of investment immigration, and after their relatives obtain American citizenship, it is easy for them to apply for US green cards for corrupt officials. Although it is stipulated that the source of funds must be clearly stated when applying for investment immigration, the United States is not strict in its investigation, and some sources cannot be verified. Also, the economy is sluggish, investment and job creation are important to the United States, and if you have money to come in, why not. β
"Another point is that many corrupt officials own a lot of property in China, and after fleeing to the United States, they use these properties in China as collateral, so that on the one hand, they can avoid the limit that each time they send money abroad, they cannot exceed 50,000 US dollars, and at the same time, their essence is money laundering." "This is the latest method of transferring funds used by corrupt officials in the last year or two, and some small banks operating in China and the United States will be involved in this kind of business." β
In addition to demanding the repatriation of corrupt officials, cooperation in cracking down on corrupt officials who have fled abroad also faces a very practical problem: what should be done with the money embezzled by corrupt officials after they are caught?
In fact, people don't want to give you this part of the money at all.
Even if someone can repatriate you, money can't help you get it back.
"All personal property can be confiscated in domestic criminal judgments, but this does not work abroad." Lin Xiao said, "In China, anti-corruption seems to be only a matter for the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the banking, taxation and other departments are just cooperating. In fact, many of the loopholes lie in the regulation of these sectors. For example, a person can open many accounts, and even have several legal identities, so it is particularly difficult to supervise, and the loopholes are too large
"How is your Hexi City's first-in-command power restriction pilot work?" Li Guiyuan remembered this, so he casually asked Lin Xiao.
"Other departments don't know, but I'm recycling the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection." Lin Xiao replied, "Looking at it now, then, with the east wind of the original case, it should be relatively easy to deal with, and the other parts, take your time, anyway, the Commission for Discipline Inspection can also play a supervisory role in this regard." β
Li Guiyuan listened, nodded, and felt that Lin Xiao's methods were still very tough, and not long after he went to Hexi City, he had already completely opened up the work situation
It seems that it will not be long before he will be able to completely and completely control the Hexi Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.
The most important thing in the matter of the number one leader limiting his power is to urge the top leader to return the powers of the other Standing Committee members; this is not as simple as dividing the work authority on the surface, but must be strictly implemented, and cannot be excessively interfered in.
In some places, the number one leader is relatively strong, and he has to intervene in everything, and over time, the degree of concentration of power is getting higher and higher, which naturally leads to serious corruption.
Therefore, the main purpose of the current pilot work of restricting the power of the top leaders in various localities is to enhance the sense of existence of the Standing Committee members and weaken the degree to which the top leaders can meddle in specific affairs, so as to achieve the basic goals.
Judging from the quality of the completion, in this process, a certain amount of supervision is naturally indispensable, and the role of supervision is also very important.
Now that the People's Congress is basically an ornament, the only powerful supervisory body still has to fall on the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, so Lin Xiao's sense of existence for a period of time in the future should be very strong.
Moreover, after the handling of several major cases, Lin Xiao's political position in Hexi City should be very stable, but there is no need to worry that he will not be able to control the field.
Li Guiyuan still has a lot of work to do, and talking to Lin Xiao is like twenty minutes.
Rao is like this, when Lin Xiao was personally sent out by Li Guiyuan, he was also shocked to lose his glasses, obviously for this level of courtesy, even if it is a cadre at the department level, he may not be able to enjoy it.
After coming out from here, Lin Xiao drove to Li Guiyuan's residence in the provincial capital.
Although Li Guiyuan sometimes lives directly in the compound of the provincial party committee, which is convenient, He Cuiwei and Li Yuan are reluctant to stay there, and usually live in the villa area in the west of the city.
When Lin Xiao came over, he felt that the riverside villa here was indeed very good, and the terrain was also higher, just halfway up the mountain, built against the mountain, facing the big river, and the scenery was infinite.
This villa is not Li Guiyuan's Zhang Luo, after all, although he is a governor, he does not have so much income.
In addition, Li Guiyuan has always been more law-abiding, and rarely has a large amount of money, so he can't afford such an expensive villa at all.
Such a villa is worth more than 10 million yuan, not to mention that there must be investment in other aspects.
Lin Xiao estimated it, and felt that judging from the current price in the provincial capital, this villa would cost almost 20 million to live in.
Of course, compared to the villa of Pearl, it is much cheaper here.
The same villa is put in the pearl, at least more than 200 million starting price, this is the geographical gap, after all, Qingshan Province is a relatively remote province, prices and housing prices are relatively low, of course, the wage level is also relatively low.
This villa was purchased by Li Yuan with her own private money.
Lin Xiao drove over alone, and as soon as the car arrived at the door of the villa, he saw that the automatic door had slowly opened, and then he saw Li Yuan, who was wearing a short tennis skirt, running out of it.
"Why did you come here...... Li Yuan rushed over and gave Lin Xiao a bear hug, and his two big white legs climbed firmly on his waist.
Lin Xiao was suddenly a little embarrassed by her, this action made people look at it, it was indeed a little ambiguous, but fortunately, Li Yuan didn't embarrass him too much, and soon jumped down by himself, and instead hugged his arm, and dragged Lin Xiao back into the room.
"Sister Wei, Lin Xiao is here!" Li Yuan shouted loudly into the room
This is also quite strange, although He Cuiwei is nominally Li Yuan's stepmother, Li Yuan never calls her this, but calls her Sister Wei.
But when you count their age, it's normal for sisters to be commensurate.
After all, the relationship between Li Guiyuan and He Cuiwei is actually just a nominal couple.
Especially Lin Xiao had the experience of sharing a bed with He Cuiwei and Li Yuan, although nothing happened, but what was going on with him and He Cuiwei, Li Yuan knew it in her heart.
"Come on, come on, you greet first......" He Cuiwei's voice came from the kitchen.
Lin Xiao also heard the sound of a range hood and the sound of stir-frying, obviously He Cuiwei was busy cooking.
Since it is said to be a family banquet entertainment, He Cuiwei, Mrs. Li on the bright face, naturally wants to show her hand, otherwise, she will not be able to show this sincerity.
If ordinary people come, even if they are members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, they will not have this blessing, but when Lin Xiao comes, it is naturally different, not to mention that the old Lin family's family is too high, even Li Guiyuan has to look up, only to say that the private relationship between Lin Xiao and He Cuiwei, she has no reason not to be extraordinarily grand.
After tossing for a while, He Cuiwei made four cold and four hot plus two soups, which are full of color, flavor and flavor, and are indeed very sincere, although they are not as good as professional chefs, but it is rare for home-cooked food to be able to do this kind of thing.
Not long after, Li Guiyuan also returned.
The four of them were eating and chatting at the same time, but they were also relatively harmonious.
It's just that Li Guiyuan was busy with affairs, and he left in a hurry after eating, saying that he was going to the capital for business or something, and it was estimated that it would take two or three days to leave.
"Alas, being an official is not free, and you have completely sold yourself to the public." He Cuiwei sighed and said, but her eyes looked at Lin Xiao, and she was full of strange feelings.
Lin Xiao was furious by her, and said that this was in the governor's house, so it was better to be a little more restrained.
After eating, when she was cleaning up the dishes, He Cuiwei whispered in Lin Xiao's ear, "Come to my room later, I have something to tell you." β
What could it be? Lin Xiao knew it very well in his heart. (To be continued) [This text is provided by] If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Genesis to vote for recommendations, monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation. Bring a small tail
