Wang Huimin, former leader of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, was sentenced to death with a suspended death sentence in the first instance

China News Service, Beijing, October 27 (Reporter Zhang Su) The reporter learned from the Supreme People's Court of China that on October 27, the Chengdu Intermediate People's Court of Sichuan Province publicly pronounced Wang Huimin, a former member of the Party Committee of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the former leader of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission at the China Securities Regulatory Commission, in the bribery case.

The court sentenced Wang Huimin to death for accepting bribes, with a two-year suspension of execution, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property. After the two-year suspension of execution of his death penalty was commuted to life imprisonment in accordance with the law, he was sentenced to life imprisonment without commutation or parole. The recovered property and profits obtained from Wang Huimin's bribery crime were turned over to the state treasury in accordance with the law, and the remaining part continued to be recovered.

Public information about Wang Huimin shows that he was born in February 1959 in Ningxian County, Gansu Province and resigned in April 2019. In March 2025, officials reported that he was under investigation. In November of the same year, officials announced that he had been expelled from the party.

In the Party Discipline and Government Affairs Punishment Report, Wang Huimin was accused of violating disciplines, violating laws, engaging in interest exchanges, collecting money wantonly, taking advantage of his position to benefit others in terms of corporate listings, private placement financing, job promotions, etc., and illegally accepting huge amounts of property. He was also accused of "deviating from the Party Central Committee's basic strategy on targeted poverty alleviation and eradicating poverty, acting arrogantly and blindly making decisions, causing serious consequences."

After trial, it was found that from 1998 to 2025, Wang Huimin used his position as the president and party committee secretary of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Branch of China Construction Bank, assistant to the chairman of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People's Government, director and party group secretary of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People's Government Financial Work Office, and party committee secretary of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Rural Credit Cooperatives United Cooperative. The Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the leader of the Discipline Inspection Team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and other positions, as well as the convenient conditions for the formation of powers and status, provided assistance to relevant units and individuals in business operations, raising funds and other matters, and illegally received property directly or through others equivalent to more than 436 million yuan.

The court held that Wang Huimin’s behavior constituted the crime of accepting bribes. The amount of bribes Wang Huimin accepted was extremely huge and caused extremely heavy losses to the interests of the country and the people. He should be sentenced to death for his crime. In view of the attempted bribery crime; he truthfully confessed his crime after arriving at the case, and took the initiative to explain some of the bribery facts that were not known to the case-handling agency; he pleaded guilty and repented, and part of the bribery money was recovered, and there were statutory and discretionary lenient punishment circumstances. He was sentenced to death, but it may not be executed immediately.

At the same time, based on the facts and circumstances of Wang Huimin's crime, it was decided that after the expiration of the two-year suspension of his death penalty, which would be commuted to life imprisonment in accordance with the law, he would be imprisoned for life without commutation or parole. The court then made the above judgment.

It is reported that the Chengdu Intermediate People's Court held a public hearing on the case on July 17 this year. Wang Huimin expressed his guilt and remorse in court.
