【新唐人2014年07月31日訊】前中共中央政治局常委周永康被立案審查,周永康的兒子周濱,也被媒體證實,因涉嫌非法經營罪,已被湖北省宜昌市檢察院批准逮捕。美國媒體引述消息來源說,周濱最近交待了對他父親不利的證據,中共當局才決定宣佈對周永康立案審查。
7月29號傍晚,中共高層宣佈對前政治局常委、政法委書記周永康立案審查。當晚,大陸《財經網》引述來自權威渠道的信息證實,周永康的兒子周濱因「涉嫌非法經營罪」,早前已經被湖北省宜昌市檢察院正式批准逮捕。
報導說,現年42歲的周濱,憑藉他父親強大的政治影響力,數十年來,在江蘇無錫建立了一個龐大隱秘的政商帝國,範圍從北京到四川,甚至拓展到海外。
周濱的生意涉及水電、石油、旅遊、投資等,依託四川商人吳兵的「中旭系」企業以及石油系統,商業帝國的價值以億萬計。
中國資深法學專家趙遠明指出,從之前的報導來看,不僅周永康涉巨貪,他的家人和親朋好友都在他的權勢庇護下,聚斂了巨額財富。
中國資深法學專家趙遠明:「尤其他兒子在經濟領域上竄下跳,然後打著周永康的旗號,然後做很多違法的事情,當然現在很多罪行都沒有暴露出來,可能中央已經掌握了。周永康倒臺,進一步他們這些罪行也要暴露出來。」
早在周永康的政治盟友、前重慶市委書記薄熙來被免職後,外媒已大肆揭露,周永康長期與薄熙來存在利益交換關係,周濱藉此積聚了200億人民幣的財富,周濱僅在重慶取得的近400億人民幣的工程項目中,就有100億中飽私囊。
報導說,周濱在北京一地就有18處房產,其中一處豪宅,還未裝修就價值高達2億人民幣,周濱還曾大力促成了中石油系統、重慶和四川眾多官員的陞遷,同時還介入司法案件收取錢財。
在最高法院有據可查的案子中,一名警察用開水活活燙死嫌犯,周濱在拿到一億元好處費後,擺平了這事﹔周濱還被曝光涉嫌受賄2,000萬人民幣,從獄中撈出涉嫌殺人、開膛剖心的甘肅二號黑幫頭目。
7月30號,美國媒體《紐約時報》引述消息說,周濱一直是中共調查周永康案的中心人物,最近周濱向中共領導人交待了對周永康不利的直接證據,新證據加強了中共高層之間的共識,所以決定公開宣佈對周永康的調查。
旅美原大陸歷史學教授劉因全表示,相信周濱多年來的巨額貪腐、為非作歹都是在周永康的庇護和縱容下所為。
旅美原大陸歷史學教授劉因全:「周永康一天到晚忙著花天酒地,到處視查,到處去搞女人,他也沒有太多時間去做一些具體的事情,也就是說好多官員送禮,行賄包括他貪腐,我相信好多事情都是他的兒子,他的太太去具體操辦。」
香港媒體曾經報導,周永康妻子賈曉燁在《央視》做編輯時,曾通過幫別人陞官撈取驚人的巨額錢財。而薄熙來曾以天價珠寶賄賂賈曉燁。已經被捕的周永康親信鄭少東在廣東時,為了陞遷,曾送給賈曉燁數以億計賄款。
《財新網》報導,賈曉燁的妹妹賈曉霞憑藉周永康的關係,長期擔任中石油加拿大分公司總經理職務,聚斂巨額財產﹔周永康在老家的兄弟,以及他兄弟的妻兒,都倚仗周永康的權勢作威作福,聚斂巨額不義之財。
在此之前,《路透社》也曾報導,檢察院和中紀委在北京、上海等5個省市搜查多個地點,查封了周永康家族高達上千億的財產,扣查或審訊了300多名周永康的親屬、親信、政治盟友等人。
據了解,周永康的十多名親人也被拘押,包括:賈曉燁、周濱夫婦、周永康的兄弟全家,以及周濱的岳父等。

Zhou Yongkang’s Case Goes Public with Evidence from Son
Zhou Yongkang, former security czar and retired senior
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader,
is now under investigation and prosecution.
Reports have confirmed that the Yichang city procuratorate
in Hubei province has also arrested Zhou’s son, Zhou Bin,
on charges of involvement in illegal business operations.
According to sources quoted by U.S.-based media,
Zhou Bin recently submitted evidence against his father,
and thus, only until now has the CCP decided to announce
the investigation and prosecution of Zhou Yongkang.
On the evening of July 29, the CCP officially announced
the investigation and prosecution of Zhou Yongkang,
ex-member of the Politburo Standing Committee.
Mainland China-based business magazine Caijing cited
information from authoritative sources confirming that
Zhou’s son, Zhou Bin, has been charged with operating illegal
businesses and has been arrested by the procuratorate
in Yicheng city, Hubei province.
According to reports, 42-year-old Zhou Bin has relied on his
father’s massive political influence, and over a few decades,
built a vast yet secretive business and political empire
in Wuxi city of Jiangsu province.
Its boundaries stretch from Beijing to Szechuan,
and even extend abroad.
Zhou Bin’s business involves industries such as utilities, oil,
travel and investment.
It’s supported by Zhong Xu Network, an enterprise run
by Sichuan businessman Wu Bing, and other oil enterprises.
The net worth of this business empire is worth billions.
China-based senior law professor, Zhao Yuanming, says that,
based on previous reports, Zhou Yikang isn’t the only one
who benefited from his immense greed.
His family and friends have also amassed immense wealth
under his political shelter.
Zhao Yuanming: “His son is very active in the financial world.
He did a lot of illegal things under Zhou Yongkang’s banner.
Of course, many of his crimes have not been exposed,
but it’s likely that the authorities already know about them.
When Zhou Yongkang falls, their crimes will be revealed
to the world."
Back when Bo Xilai, former Party secretary Chongqing and
Zhou Yangkang’s political ally, was dismissed from his post,
Zhou’s symbiotic economic relationship with Bo
had already been exposed by foreign news media.
Zhou Bin made massive profits of over $3.2 billion
from this relationship.
In a $6.5 billion construction project in Chongqing,
Zhou Bin pocketed $1.6 billion.
According to reports,
Zhou Bin has 18 real estate properties in Beijing alone.
One of them is a mansion worth
$32.4 million even before renovations.
Zhou Bin has also actively procured the promotion and
relocation of various officials in PetroChina networks,
Chongqing and Sichuan.
He was also involved in the administration of justice and
criminal prosecutions where he collected bribes.
In a documented case from the China’s Supreme Court,
a police officer scalded a suspect to death with boiling water.
Zhou Bin settled this case after receiving a $16.2 million bribe.
Zhou Bin was also revealed to have released a gang leader
in Gansu who was suspected of murder.
For this, he received a bribe of $3.2 million.
On July 30, The New York Times cited a source who said that
Zhou Bin has always been the central target in the CCP’s
investigation of Zhou Yongkang.
Recently, Zhou Bin submitted direct evidence
against Zhou Yongkang to CCP leaders.
The new evidence has strengthened the consensus among the
CCP’s central leadership who have thus decided to officially
announce the investigation on Zhou Yongkang.
Former Chinese history professor, Liu Yinquan, says that
Zhou Bin’s corruption and lawlessness all these years was all
done under Zhou Yongkang’s protection and indulgence.
Liu Yinquan: “Zhou Yongkang busies himself with wine and
pleasures for days on end.
He visits everywhere, and womanizes wherever he goes.
Therefore, he does not have much time to commit
to a certain task.
I believe that it is his son and his wife who do all the work,
such as receiving gifts from officials and taking bribes."
Hong Kong media have reported that when Zhou Yongkang’s
wife Jia Xiaoye was an editor at China Central TV, she once
received a large sum of money for someone’s promotion.
Bo Xilai has also bribed her before with expensive jewelry.
Zhou Yongkang’s trusted aid, ex-official Zheng Shaodong
also gave Jia hundreds of millions in bribes
for his promotion in Guangdong.
Chinese news website Caixin reports that Jia Xiaoye’s sister
Jia Xiaoxia relied on her relationship with Zhou Yongkang
and became the long standing chief manager of PetroChina’s
Canadian branch, amassing enormous wealth.
Zhou Yongkang’s brothers and their families in his hometown
have all tapped into Zhou Yongkang’s massive influence
to make huge amounts of money from corruption.
Previously, Reuters reported that the procuratorate and the
Central Commission for Discipline Inspection searched and
investigated various places in five provincial cities including
Beijing and Shanghai and seized up to $14.5 billion worth
in assets belonging to Zhou’s family and associates.
They have also detained or questioned over 300 relatives,
confidantes, staff and political allies of Zhou Yongkang.
Reuters’ sources say that more than ten of Zhou Yongkang’s
family members have also been detained.
They include his wife Jia Xiaoye, Zhou Bin and his wife,
Zhou Yongkang’s brothers with their entire families
and Zhou Bin’s father in law.
