Song Jiuwen, the sand and gravel businessman known by the outside world as Miaoli County Magistrate Zhong Dongjin and "Maji", was accused of forcing a gambler named Xie to cover his head and detain him for 8 hours, forcing him to sign a 100 million yuan cashier's note, and taking away the remaining earthwork from five construction projects in Miaoli County. A total of 3,622 trains were carried to unapproved locations for dumping. The Shilin District Court today sentenced Song Jiuwen to 5 years and 6 months in prison for the crimes of private detention and illegal waste removal, and also sentenced Song Jiuwen to 6 months for forgery and a fine of Yike.
Song Jiuwen, 57, was Zhong Dongjin’s assistant when he was the speaker of the Miaoli County Assembly. He was also the chairman of the Miaoli Residual Earthwork Association and was quite active in the local area. The Academy's verdict pointed out that Song Jiuwen admitted that he had tens of millions of yuan in gambling debts to Xie Yiquan, and ordered two of his men to forcibly take Xie Nan away on February 5, 2020, cover his head and take him to an unknown place for eight hours, forcing him to issue a cashier's check totaling 100 million yuan with Song Jiuwen as the payee.
The judgment pointed out that Song Jiuwen, in the name of "Wenjing Sand and Gravel Enterprise" Co., Ltd., contracted or subcontracted the construction remaining earth and stone removal projects for five construction projects in Miaoli County, and cooperated with the company's accountant Lin Yuejun, Tutou, Tuwei, Transportation Company, and Wei The owner of the handicraft company, as well as several tractor-trailer and odd-hand drivers, divided the work and failed to transport the earthwork to legal storage sites in accordance with the records in the four-way bill. Instead, they took a total of 3,622 truckloads of earthwork to unapproved locations for dumping and backfilling.
Upon receiving the report, the Inspector Command directed the Criminal Police Department and Security Guard Corps No. 7 to launch an investigation and excavate at the site. They found black sticky bentonite emitting odor, as well as a large amount of steel bars, concrete blocks, bricks, plastic water pipes, space bags, plastic sheets for wires, plastic sheets, PET bottles, tiles, wood blocks, wooden strips, broken asphalt blocks and other waste.
According to the prosecutor's investigation, after being instructed by Song Jiuwen, Huang Tuwei hired 18 sand and gravel truck drivers to transport the waste soil in batches and backfill it in remote mountainous areas such as Miaoli Zuoqiao Township, Toufen City, Nanzhuang Township, and Sanwan Township on the pretense that Miaoli's terrain was uneven and there was a great need for land preparation. The Wasteland Group made a total of 3,622 trips and earned more than 62.24 million yuan from the construction company.
Some tractor-trailer drivers then falsely signed the four-part form, and Song Jiuwen issued a false containment certificate and handed it over to the construction plant to conceal the actual flow of the earthwork. The prosecutor will investigate and prosecute in May 2023.
