900,000 in bribes, “Systemic paradox”: second-instance confession in the bribery of an official in Anhui County, and family report of irregularities by the officers

“The Board has pressed me to pay my husband $2 million for a lighter payment. I didn't. I can't pay for this money! Zhang Ling, retired teacher of the city of Anhui Chong County, said:

Zhang Ling husband Gyöng Former Commander of the Engineering Quality Control Unit of the Integrated Transport and Transport Enforcement Brigade of Zhang .

On 17 August this year, the court of the county of Zhuang found him to have been bribed for 1,925,300 yuan, sentenced him to five years and six months in prison, and fined 250,000 yuan, in order to recover all the proceeds of the offence.

Before the loss of liberty. Interviewees

The “bribery case” was considered absurd by Gorgon's family. Regular private borrowing with a loan, a transfer record, is recognized as receiving bribes in the name of the loan; Another engineering test operator took over the transport department's testing business, with a contract of approximately $0.01 million, and was charged with bribing Gorgon for this job for $9.25 million.

Even the interview notes and the witness interview notes are copied and posted in accordance with the uniform template, with the same wording, the same symbol and only the main word — the Göttter interview — is replaced by the transcript: I took the envelope away when I was kind enough to do so, and he left after a brief chat. The witness questioned the tape: Gorgon took the envelope away after a short interview and left.

Görke pleaded guilty to the charges at the first instance hearing, but the judgement then sought a revision of the acquittal or remand.

The defence counsel for the second trial asked why the first instance was not recognized and now it is not. Response: The Board promised and the results were not met.

“No rank of civil servant”* * Appeal appeal appeal

Görgörtsör was born in 1969 and was the commander of the Lieutenant-in-Chief of the Engineering Quality Control Unit of the county of Wu.

On 19 December 2025, the District Supervisory Commission of Wuzhou took measures to retain the Gywa in custody.

On 15 April 2026, he was detained in criminal custody on suspicion of bribery and arrested on 29 April.

On 12 June, the district prosecutor ' s office filed a public prosecution.

The prosecution alleges that from 2006 to 2025, Gwok made use of his position as a quality monitor of works to assist the relevant units and individuals in the execution of works, quality inspection and inspection, and disbursement of funds, and illegally received $1.925 million.

This amount is broadly divided into three parts: Yao Min, Hsing Min-yung and Marje, which paid $782 million in interest on the loan; (b) $9.25 million in cash and shopping cards from Songshan Zhang; The other equipment was awarded by the company ' s agents and the engineering operators in the amount of $21830,000.

The District Supervisory Board of Zhuang has set up a holding point. Liu Tiger, take it.

On 4 August 2026, the case was heard in public by the district court of Zhou.

The Criminal Judgment recorded that Gorgon did not contest the facts and charges against him and voluntarily pleaded guilty. The defence counsel, Yoon Sei, and the Pil, challenged the three counts separately, while making a defence that even if found guilty, should be subject to a lighter penalty.

On 17 August, the first instance judgement was rendered.

The court did not take into account the defence ' s main opinion on the factual findings and found that the sum of $19.25 million constituted all passive bribery; In determining the sentence, he was sentenced to five years and six months ' imprisonment, taking into account Gwok ' s confession, his voluntary confession in court and his good behaviour during his detention.

However, Mrs. Gwyn Zhang Ling has always believed that multiple bribes do not exist and that it is difficult to understand the confession of guilt of the husband.

He then appealed to the Central Court of Cebu to set aside the sentence, to have the facts known and to have the acquittal commuted or to have the case remanded.

On 28 October, the second trial of the case commenced.

The defence asked him why he pleaded guilty in the first instance. Gwyn-Abd, according to Gorgon, was under considerable pressure during his detention, and was deceived by the case officers to believe that a confession of guilt could be replaced by a lighter treatment and eventually a confession against his heart.

Furthermore, according to the wife, there was another factor in Gorgae ' s earlier insistence on guilty pleas: the Commission ' s attempts to save his family at the expense of the Commission ' s own, by threatening to incorporate the family into the crime.

The truth of these statements and their mutual corroboration with other evidence have been the focus of the debate between the two parties in the second instance.

Three borrowers not * * lack of money? *

The first instance court found that Goring lent 310,000 yuan to Yao Min on three occasions and charged interest at 2 per cent per month; (a) Loan of 520,000 yuan in three instalments to Xu Myung-fu and interest at 2 per cent per month; In April 2018, $350,000 was lent in two instalments to Maje and $162,000 was charged at 3 per cent monthly interest.

The principal of the three loans totalled $1.18 million and interest amounted to $782 million.

The court found that the bribe was the interest of $782,000.

Why are these loans considered a right-money deal?

The central reason given in the first instance judgement was that the three borrowers did not actually need to borrow money and that the interest payments were made in order to benefit the Gossams, who were responsible for supervising the works.

The first instance judgement cited Yao Min ' s testimony that Gorch had offered to borrow money and set a monthly rate of 2 per cent; He was able to obtain funds at lower cost from other sources, without lack of money, but still received loans to help with, for example, the quality of work.

The testimony of Xu Ming Chong was also summarized as being in need of money and as being paid on loan, amounting to a disguised benefit fee.

For its part, Maje, the borrowing was simply the source of the benefits to Goetz, with 3 per cent of the monthly interest determined by Goeger, and interest on other sources of financing not so high.

The county court of Zhu. The trial was held in the first and second instance (the court of the Cebu District was borrowed from the court). Liu Tiger, take it.

The court found that the testimony was consistent with the statement of Gwok and supported by evidence such as bank flow, and had the essence of a trading in power under the form of a loan.

In the defence counsel's view, the bank flow is precisely the other explanation: the three were engaged in long-term bridge work requiring advance funds, the account was coming and coming, and the need to borrow money from others was not to negate the liquidity requirement at the time, as it was “no shortage of money” after the fact.

The defence alleges that Yao Min was engaged in several road bridge projects, the total contract being over $48 million.

The balance of the accounts, which are often low, although they contain large amounts of money for work, is then used to repay loans or external payments. For example, in August 2013, Zhang Ling was paid 27,000 yuan and a central out-of-country payment after the transfer of funds from Yao Min-related water; In 2017, a sum of $2.8 million was paid for the following day, i.e. $5.4 million for the return of private loans. The defence thus argues that the flow of water cannot be directly equated with the availability of sufficient funds at its disposal.

For Xu Myung-guk, the defence cited more specific borrowings: $140,000 in 2011 and full transfers on the same day; (a) Borrowed $130,000 in 2013 and paid others for the work on that date; A loan of $250,000 was made in 2014 on the date of its consolidation, and the account was to be used to make a total of $650,000 in external payments.

The defence claims that the accounts used by Xu Mingliang and his wife Hwang-man have long been characterized by short-term consolidation and rapid transfer.

The voice records of Zhang Ling and Hwang-man also show that Xu Ming-ryun also borrows from others during the same period and centralizes the debt after the project is repaid.

In the case of Marjé, there is a long-outstanding obligation.

The defence stated that on the date of the loan in April 2018, Marj had split the funds into several recipients.

Since then, he has not paid his interest in full as promised, Zhang Ling has made constant calls and has left the parties with little information. In the second trial, Gorjan stated that the capital of Maj. 350,000 yuan had been returned to only 150,000 yuan, while 200,000 remained unpaid.

At first instance, the defence submitted a recorded message chat and telephone conversation between Zhang Ling and Marje, as well as a recording of the conversations between Zhang Ling and Hwang Myung-gwan and Hwang-man.

The court responded that the material was insufficient to refute the testimony of the borrower during the investigation.

(b) At the second trial, the prosecution similarly rejected the argument that “the money is coming and coming, and that the lack of money is real”, arguing that the large volume of water flowing in the operation is normal and that the need for money cannot be determined by the flow alone; There is a regulatory constraint between Gok and the borrower, and there are cases where loans are offered, interest is determined, etc.

The defence then asked: If the borrower was not short of money and the loan was only to channel benefits to the supervisor, what would explain the long-term default and evasion of the call? The defence contends that Gorgon borrowed his own idle funds, that the borrower had a real need for the funds and that there was a genuine loan relationship between the two parties.

No return “Push money”? *

The amount of $925 million, which concerned Zhang Matsuyama, was the largest amount found to have been bribed in the case.

The first instance judgement found that Zhang Songshan had been involved in the management of the road bridge between 2006 and 2019, and that Gwok had been given a cash sum of $48,000 and a shopping card of $8,000, totalling $56,000. Since then, Zhang Songshan has been engaged in third-party testing and the construction of self-quality self-checking.

Zhang Songshan gave cash totalling $869,000 on several festivals between Spring 2020 and mid-Autumn 2025, and upon the marriage of her daughter, Zhang Songshan.

The Court found that these facts were corroborated by the testimony of Zhang Songshan and the statements of Goh Yi, and were supported by the relevant documentary evidence and testimony of Han Changhua, Feng Kim-gung, Hu Shuwen, Zhou Wei Minh and others, which were sufficient to establish them.

The defence, for its part, stated that the charge was absurd.

Standard inspection of transport services in Zhang Songshan on behalf of several companies, with a total contract value of approximately * * * * * * * * * * * *. As of February 2026, when the Inspectorate obtained the relevant operational statistics, only a fee of $65,000 had actually been paid for the testing, with the remaining approximately $950,000 still outstanding.

(a) The lawyer listed: $65,000 for testing operations in 2020, corresponding to $220,000 in cash allegedly sent; The test contract for 2023 was $348.7 million, with no corresponding refund, and the corresponding charges were issued at $220,000; The test contract of $126,000 in 2024 remained unpaid, and the corresponding charges were dropped at $220,000.

“Even considering the cost of self-inspection, as evidenced by the case, of $690,000, the bribes amounted to $869,000 (after Zhang Songshan began his own testing in

1. and nearly $200,000 was still attached to what he described as a profitable testing exercise. The share of bribes in total operating costs is 57 per cent. The blogger adds:

The defence considers that the fact that Zhang Songshan has not received the bulk of the work for six years without any profit from the operation, that he has continued to send cash to Gyöng Zhu, and that he has continued for many years to “brib” in complete contravention of the law of day-to-day experience, is sufficient to prove that the fact that the bribe was involved in the case is objectively non-existent.

"Even the place where the bribes were made is a fake! The blogger adds:

According to the wife of Gorgon, the alleged collection place was the office of Gorgon, but the court in Görck stated that it was not possible to bring the disease to the office at that time.

Quality control squadron of the Law Enforcement Brigade within the DTC compound. The building is an external stairwell, which anyone who goes up to the floor can see. Liu Tiger, take it.

In addition, the defence contested the formation of the testimony of Matsuyama and Györörörrör confession.

A statement from Gordo dated 28 March 2026 states: “I took the envelope away as soon as I was polite, and he left after we had a brief chat. The blogger adds:

A statement from Zhang Songshan dated 17 March 2026 states: “Gorg Zhu Zhu Zheng was polite and took away the envelope, and I left after a brief chat. The blogger adds:

The two sentences are very close in sequence, and the main change is to be seen.

Counsel therefore questions whether the records of the respective statements were the records of the two independent statements or the corresponding statements that were consolidated. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Ling's subsequent report documented that the witness Zhang Songshan was mentioned to him by the Monitoring Board, who stated that Zhang was detained for one month and was in a weak and cowardly state “like a kitten”.

The defence claims that while the bribe cycle between Gok and Zhang Songshan lasted 19 years and consisted of 34 small and large amounts of $100,000, without any cash flow, logs, chats to support memories, they were able to accurately recaptulate the year, festival, location, amount, details of the dialogue, even a single 2000 for more than a decade. “It is completely inconsistent with objective patterns of loss of memory of ordinary people and doubts about the veracity of testimony. The blogger adds:

This anomaly is also evident in the evidence of allegations of receiving a total of $2183,000 from the oxen gulls, Wang Yingli and others.

Moreover, the three companies that were accused of bribery had established an operational unit within the Cebu City Roads Bureau, which had been established in 2002 to detect and design a market for the district road bridges under Cebu County, with a natural competitive monopoly.

“The majority of the testing operations in the county are carried out by the three companies, without the need for special care by the company using its quality control function, and without the basic premise of trading in money. The blogger adds:

Göring himself has argued for the terms of reference.

He claims that the project was taken over by the company concerned through the normal procedure, that the funds for the project would have to be requested from the Agency to the county, then distributed through the Board ' s party committee, that he was not eligible for the relevant decision-making meetings and that he was primarily responsible for the receipt, distribution and distribution of supplementary materials.

The person responsible was reported by his family *

With a provision to refute earlier statements, what happened during the detention period became an inescapable issue in the second instance.

According to Gorgon, his pre-retention period was required to sit on a bench for a long period of time, lasting more than 20 days, and he was ill-treated.

He's been depressed for years and under a lot of stress. It also stated that pressure was exerted by family members, property and continued measures, and that a promise of guilty pleas could be treated lightly.

Eventually, Gorgon chose “surrender”.

He said that part of the text was printed by the case officer and that it was not consistent with the date of the deposit and the actual time of signing. He also claims that he had denied receiving money, but was told that retracting his confession would increase the penalty.

During the trial, the defence requested notification of key witnesses and the court responded to the contact part of the witness: there were persons whose telephones were not available, who refused or refused to appear, and who were not present for reasons such as hospitalization, delivery of children, and busy work. None of the key witnesses, Zhang Songshan, Maje, Hsu Myung-yu, Yao Min, Wang Yinli or the Cow Seagull, appeared in court for questioning.

Those who claimed to bribe Gwok-Chang in the notes say the opposite in private.

And Zhang Songshan said to those around him, “Gorg Qi is not like others and never takes money.” Yao Min said: "I have no water for you, nor do I have any water for you, nor do I have any water for you." After the police report, the Chief of Police said that the Chief of Police was very good and that he was forced to tell us that he was guilty of the crime.

Outside the court, Ghil wife Zhang Ling sent a letter of fact-finding, pointing the finger at the case ' s sponsors.

The letter mentioned that Cheng and Goo-kun, cousin of Goo-jin, were close friends.

Although he was aware of this relationship, Cheng Tsiang disclosed to Gokun information on the status of the case and the status of the case. In her letter, Zhang Ling quoted Gon ' s recitation, stating that Cheng had made it clear that the amount involved would have been 3 million, because it was good with Gon, and that it was 2 million.

On this basis, Zhang Ling questioned whether the amount involved was based on facts and evidence or could be adjusted for personal contact between the person in charge of the case and the person concerned.

On February 21, 2026, Cheng Luang called Zhang Ling to inform him: “You were supposed to have 1.5 million, and now you are prepared to have 1 million. The blogger adds:

However, in a letter from Goi-Chai the following day, a further $2 million was requested for refund.

However, Zhang Ling has not followed the procedure and refused to pay.

The letter also indicates that during the detention period, Gorgon Ghil ' s mobile phone was used by the officers in several cases to contact family members and to send letters.

For example, at 1844 hours on 7 February 2026, Gohtsun's Twitter account “Water and Water” launched a voice call to Goping and was subsequently cancelled; And when Gopin calls back, no one answers. On 22 February, at 1524 hours and 1737 hours on 4 March, a handwritten letter from Gok was photographed and sent to Zhang Ling and her daughter, Sam Zhang, respectively, in order to obtain payment.

Even more absurd, on 13 April, the case officer operated a bank account in the name of Goe-chul, transferring 50,000 yuan from the account with the bank ' s final number 4222 and approximately 30,000 yuan from the account with the agricultural bank ' s final number

1. Zhang Ling stated that the family had not received any information on the disposition of the funds, nor any relevant seizure or seizure documents.

The Court of Appeal stated that he was not aware of the transfer of the funds and the use of them, and that the case officer had attempted to transfer his name to a total of over $200,000. Zhang Ling considers the funds transferred to be non-related funds and requires the authorities to ascertain whether the use of Gyöng Yi cell phones during the period of detention, the operation of their bank accounts has been approved, who has the approval, where the relevant procedures are kept and the final movement of the funds transferred.

• The county detention centre. Gordo is now in custody here. Liu Tiger, take it.

The letter also reflects the pressure exerted by the officers on Görke and his family.

According to his records, Cheng Zheng told him during his detention in Gorjan that he would be held again if he remained “incooperative and unresponsive” at the detention centre. Zhang Ling stated that it was precisely because of fear of being re-incarcerated that Görke, while in the custody, had expressed a reluctance to recall his experiences during his detention and to return to the place of detention.

In her further letter, Cheng Liang also stated that she had threatened to arrest her and sentenced her to punishment, that she had been suspended from her retirement, that property such as family bank cards and property had been frozen, auctioned and even in the name of her daughter, and that she had claimed to have lost her job.

Zhang Ling believes that, as a disciplinary inspector, he is not aware of the procedure and the rule of law, and that he is guilty of arbitrary violations of the disciplinary and legal provisions of the law, that he is guilty of serious violations of the law, including those relating to the disclosure of the secrecy, negligence and unlawful taking of evidence, and that many of these acts are committed with intent and intent to commit the crime, and that he is liable to punishment in accordance with the law.

The events are moving forward and will continue to be followed by the Government.
