E-commerce Employee Receives over 92 Million RMB in Bribes in China

TapTechNews reported on May 16th that the CCTV News Channel's program Legal Online reported on a case of internal corruption in a private enterprise: an employee of an e-commerce company in Hangzhou received over 92 million RMB in bribes in a year.

The Yuhang Police in Hangzhou cracked a case of internal corruption on an internet e-commerce platform. The main suspect, Wang, was an operations staff member in a basic position at an e-commerce platform in Hangzhou. He was responsible for the approval business for the official flagship store of furniture on this e-commerce platform. In just one year, Wang quickly turned his approval authority into a business worth over one billion RMB. During this period, he colluded with others to accept bribes totaling over 130 million RMB, with his own bribe amount exceeding over 92 million RMB, gradually forming a grey and black industry chain of reselling furniture flagship store quotas.

Currently, Wang is being prosecuted by the Yuhang District Procuratorate in Hangzhou for the crime of accepting bribes as a non-state functionary. The case is under trial, and TapTechNews will continue to follow up on the developments.

The report also mentioned that in order to help more enterprises discover and improve loopholes, and to close the gap for corruption cases, the Economic Investigation Department of the Ministry of Public Security provides timely feedback to enterprises through various means, assisting private enterprises in establishing internal anti-corruption firewalls. In 2023, over 10,000 cases of such nature were filed.
