Duan Xuan has worked at CCTV for 20 years, from a sports reporter to the host of the well-known column "World Football". He also served as the commentator for three World Cup football matches in Germany, South Africa, and Brazil. Because of his unique commentary style and extensive knowledge, he is deeply loved and recognized by fans and is a well-known sports "famous speaker" throughout the country. In 2015, he left CCTV and joined Wang Sicong's "Banana Project" to challenge himself and pursue his business dream. At that time, many fans sent him support and blessings.
Unexpectedly, 66-year-old Liu Aijie was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law. After being reviewed and investigated by the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervisory Commission of the State Sports General Administration and the Henan Provincial Supervisory Committee, the relevant facts of Duan Xuan’s bribery were revealed. This former CCTV sports celebrity expanded his career and achieved success by bribing officials and transferring benefits, which is shocking and depressing!
According to media disclosures, in order to make profits, Duan Xuan fabricated foreign training contracts to obtain special funds for the country’s preparations for the Olympics. He used improper behavior to poach public funds, disrupted the normal market economic order, and hindered the selection and training of talents for the Olympics. In the overall situation, polluting the purity of sports arenas and failing to live up to the expectations of the public can be said to be extremely harmful and have a bad impact.
Corruption not only destroys the political ecology, but also destroys the economic development environment. However, for a long time, when it comes to corruption, both local law enforcement and disciplinary departments and the public have focused more on corrupt officials who accept bribes, while ignoring the various forms of corruption. Hunting down bribers who corrupt party members, cadres and public officials. The phenomenon of heavier punishment for bribe takers and lighter punishment for bribe givers often occurs, which is what the people say: "the official gets in, but the boss is fine". On the one hand, this is because the bribe givers may be numerous and their behavior is concealed. It is relatively difficult to investigate. On the other hand, it is also affected by misconceptions such as "cracking down on bribery is not conducive to the cooperation of bribers in collecting evidence."
Please note that without giving bribes, there is no way to accept bribes. The unscrupulous "hunting" of bribe givers is an important reason for the occurrence of many corruption cases. Bribery-taking and bribe-giving are basically two "poisonous melons" on the same vine. If any vine is not cut off, it will form an interest chain of "hunting" and being willing to be "hunted", forming a network of relationships for power and money transactions.
Therefore, do not think that giving bribes is a lesser crime than taking bribes, and the punishment is lighter. The reports of the 19th and 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that "the bribery and bribery should be investigated together." While maintaining a high-pressure attitude towards punishing bribery, bribery should be seriously investigated and punished. , the passage of the Criminal Law Amendment (Twelve) further demonstrates the legal determination to strictly investigate and handle, take multiple measures, and strengthen punishment. Through the joint punishment mechanism, bribers will pay a heavier and more expensive legal price.
's investigation and publicity of typical cases is conducive to revealing the serious harm behind bribery, carrying out targeted warning education, and deterring those bribers with bad intentions and who want to take the wrong path.Duan Xuan's case has attracted much public attention because it involves celebrities. According to the case, bribes were paid 19 times, with a total amount of more than 9.51 million yuan. It is obviously "multiple bribes and huge bribes". Such bribers have already Those who sincerely regard bribery as the main means of seeking illegitimate benefits, ignore public interests, destroy the political ecology, pollute the legal environment and business environment, and damage the credibility of the party and the government should be the focus and typical examples of severe crackdowns and serious investigation and punishment. , relevant case details should be disclosed after trial and judgment to create a deterrent and use cases to promote treatment.
Duan Xuan went from being a star host on CCTV and an expert and celebrity in the sports world to a criminal who bribes and makes money and promotes corruption. It makes people deeply feel the terrible depravity and the profound lesson. It can also be seen that greed is like fire, if it is not curbed, it will start a prairie fire; desire is like water, if it is not curbed, it will surge into the sky. No matter how talented and capable a person is, if he is greedy and greedy, and his wisdom will be dimmed, and he does not want to take the right path, but only thinks about taking shortcuts, he will inevitably go astray. Fall into the abyss and reap the consequences of evil and suffering.
