Dividends for builders and support for property developers
The prosecutor pointed out that Liao Nan had worked in the Public Works Department of Zhuxian County Government since 2000. Jiang Nan, the head of Qianyao Company, has started a "long-term cooperation" with Liao Nan since 2015 in order to ensure that the construction project can smoothly obtain construction and operating licenses. Jiang Nan helps Liao Nan manage stocks, invest in construction projects and distribute dividends, and even stuff cash directly in the car or office. Liao Nan provided "fast customs clearance" review services for them, and accumulated illegal benefits received and managed by the industry of more than 11.66 million yuan.
Quick customs clearance of construction projects to cover up excessive earthwork
In addition, Liu Nan and Dai Nan, the actual persons in charge of the Caifu Soil and Materials Market, used the "one order for multiple uses" method to repeatedly use the earthwork coupons to falsely report the quantity. In just two years, they overcollected the earthworks and obtained illegal income of 48.15 million yuan. They also required manufacturers to issue invoices with understated amounts, secretly evading business tax and profit-making enterprise income tax.
In order to cover up the illegal overpayment, Liu Nan has also "supported" Liao Nan with cash, brand-name bags, banquets, and even helping to negotiate for job vacancies since 2019. Liao Nan secretly stamped the inspection stamp to protect the business operators.
The prosecutor pointed out that Liao Nan's personal criminal gains amounted to more than 12.94 million yuan, and local capital market operators earned more than 53 million yuan due to overcharges and tax evasion. After the incident, Liao Nan took the initiative to pay back more than 1.73 million yuan, and the business owner also paid back 50 million yuan, and the prosecutor detained the case.
