Mi Fengjun, involved in two major embezzlement and bribe-taking cases, is also responsible for carrying out brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in Changchun while serving as the Party committee secretary of Changchun.
Mainland media revealed that Mi had maintained his position through bribing higher officials. He made himself unavailable when required by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI). Finally, on April 28, the CCDI and the Joint Anti-Corruption Bureau of Jilin Province phone tagged his cellular phone and caught him in the presence of two prostitutes. The witness identified Mi as a frequent customer of the hotel that has had relationships with more than 100 prostitutes in the hotel.
Mi Fengjun has served in Jilin Province for 17 years. The case erupted within three months after his retirement. Also involved in this case are Tian Zhong, the former deputy Party chief of Changchun; Li Xu, chairman of Northeast Securities; and several high-level personnel in business.
While serving in Jilin Province, Mi has been suspected of being involved in corruption many times. It is believed his father-in-law being close friends of Jiang Zemin, the former regime leader, and Wang Yunkun, the Party chief of Jilin Province, has prevented him from being indicted.
Additionally, Minghui Reports has documented that since July 20, 1999, Mi has followed Jiang Zemin’s orders and carried out the illegal suppression and cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioners during his term as the Changchun City Party Committee Secretary.
It is believed Mi’s fall will lead to the exposure of more corrupt officials.
