When the investigators came to search

Someone even knocked on the door to give me a gift

On the evening of January 9 this year, the fourth episode of the TV special "Continuous Efforts to Advance Deeply" "Promoting the "Three Nos" in an Integrated Manner" was broadcast.Details of Li Dongxiu's case of immorality and living off coal were revealed.



Li Dong's confession

Li Zhiyong, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission, said in the film: "We searched Li Dong's residence according to the work process.During the search, someone knocked on the door, which was actually a gift delivery.Business owners are allowed or are used to having gifts or visits at home, which also shows that they are not strict with themselves. "

According to reports,Li Dong has a prominent hobby, which is that he cannot live without alcohol and is addicted to drinking.This also provided some business owners with a great opportunity to get closer to him. "I can't drink with public funds, and I feel that drinking with many private enterprises is beyond my scope, so it's still a problem of understanding. I didn't learn enough about politics, and I always thought of myself as a business cadre, so I relaxed my study of party rules and regulations," said Li Dong.

The documentary revealed that in 1999, Li Dong was entrusted with an important task and served as the chairman of Junggar Energy Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the former Shenhua Group.However, Li Dong, who became the "top leader", did not cultivate himself properly and gradually degenerated into corruption."After arriving in Junggar, I was in charge of 10 billion yuan of assets. I felt like I had the final say. How should I put it? I felt like I lost my way in the Northeastern dialect," said Li Dong.

Feature film introduction,Li Dong is a typical example of a person who lives off coal.One is in the area of ​​coal transportation and sales, and the other is in the area of ​​bidding and procurement of coal machinery equipment.In addition to coal resources, railway resources were also used by Li Dong for power-for-money transactions.During his tenure at Junggar Company, a local private coal company lacked transportation capacity and transferred benefits to Li Dong. Li Dong then agreed to "cooperation" between the company and Junggar Company to build a new coal loading station on the dedicated railway line to ensure that the company's coal could be transported first.

After Li Dong was transferred to the position of deputy general manager of the former Shenhua Group in 2006, the "main battlefield" for profit-making also shifted to the field of coal machinery and equipment procurement under his charge.

The documentary stated that Li Dong's arbitrary use of power also reflected that supervision of leading cadres of state-owned enterprises is still a weak link that needs to be strengthened urgently.
