【新唐人2014年01月30日讯】日前，一名叫“曾伟”的大陆富豪，在太平洋塞班岛试图使用假身份入境美国时，被美国国土安全部探员拘捕。这位身价亿万的大陆地产商因为在香港犯事，弃保潜逃，被香港廉政公署通缉。“富豪曾伟”，由于名字敏感，引起中国社会广泛关注，各媒体也竞相报导。不过，媒体对这个“曾伟”的家世则知而不宣。有网友在微博发帖：大家可知他爹是谁？
《塞班论坛报》1月28号引述联邦探员的消息说，大陆富商“曾伟”于16号持“刘志前” (Zhiqian Liu) 这个名字的中国护照，试图进入塞班岛时，隐瞒自己曾利用移民或非移民签证多次出入美国的事实，而被扣押。美国国土安全部探员采集了刘志前的指纹，通过指纹对比，发现他就是国际刑警组织全球通缉的香港通缉犯“曾伟”。
香港特区政府廉政公署28号晚公布，被廉政公署通缉的地产商“曾伟”，1月27号已在美国塞班岛被逮捕，香港方面将向美方提出引渡要求。现年51岁的曾伟是香港“裕汇集团有限公司”主要股东兼董事，因涉嫌行贿银行职员及清洗犯罪收益，被廉政公署通缉。
香港当局在2010年10月7号，指控曾伟“行贿”等四项罪名。11月，曾伟以家庭原因和开董事会原因，申请离开香港返回大陆，法官批准他以80万港元保释外出。 2011年7月，曾伟缺席了香港法庭的聆讯，弃保潜逃。国际刑警于同年10月21号，对曾伟发出全球通缉。
北京时政观察人士华颇表示，中国的富豪90%以上都与体制和权贵挂钩，靠特殊的背景来获得成功。
北京时政观察人士华颇：“所以这个曾伟，他的姓氏姓名来讲有些特殊之处，所以，大家立马就和中共常委、权贵之一曾庆红挂上钩，这一点不奇怪。”
华颇还表示，在中国的权贵们有许多的身份证和护照，作为富商的曾伟，弄了假护照也不足为奇。
华颇：“前一阵子公安部清理出来有70几万个虚假户口，那这些70几万人的身份是什么，我想很少有平头老百姓需要多种身份，只有那些人他们为了多造几个身份，可以自如、自由进出国境，可以自由的攫取更多的利益所必须的。”
大陆《财经网》报导，曾伟家世背景曾引发诸多猜测，公司内部也有人认为他背景显赫。但曾伟在个人博客中曾“自报家门”，表示他出生在成都青羊区实业街一栋老院子里，土生土长四川人，父亲为“小职员”等。
《美国之音》报导说，曾伟前几年在海外媒体被频频曝光，有很多报导指认他是中共前政治局常委曾庆红的儿子，在澳大利亚花费3240万澳元购买豪宅。但是，《财新网》报导，曾伟曾专门在香港媒体刊登文章，澄清他和“前任中央政治局常委并无亲属关系。”
旅美中国社会问题研究人士张健：“澄清身份的目地，不外乎是告诉外界，他所做的一切和中共是没有任何关系的。用这种一贯的类似中国这种党媒，这种喉舌的这种方式，而去否认的话，只能让大家更加肯定他的身份、更加肯定这个身份的真实性。”
华颇：“他就是洗刷跟曾庆红的关系。中国同年同名人很多，但是这个此曾伟是不是彼曾伟，利益攸关，他必须要帮助曾庆红洗刷这一层。”
据《财新网》介绍，曾伟，四川人，1983年毕业于重庆“西南农学院”，随后进入建设部。一年多后转调四川省委。1988年到海南，先后在海南省政府、省人民银行工作，后担任“招商银行”总行行长助理。1996年下海涉足房地产，创建“棕榈泉控股有限公司”，出任公司董事局主席兼总裁。

Hong Kong Tycoon Zeng Wei Arrested in US: Is He Son of Zeng Qinghong?
Reportedly, Chinese tycoon Zeng Wei intended to
use a false identity to enter the USA territory of Saipan.
He was arrested by US Homeland Security officers.
The fugitive property tycoon from Mainland China had a
wealth worth Trillions, and had broken the law in Hong Kong.
Zeng is wanted by the Independent Commission Against
Corruption (ICAC) in Hong Kong, where he fled to escape.
The story has drawn wide attention,
and media coverage in China.
However, state-controlled media have
deliberately not mentioned Zeng’s background.
Some netizens posted: “Do you know whom his father is?"
On January 28, Saipan Tribune cited
an officer of the US Federal Agency.
Zeng had been detained, after attempting to enter Saipan
using a false Chinese passport, with the name “Liu Zhiqian".
Under detention Zeng denied that he had previously
traveled to the US with immigrant or non-immigrant visas.
US Homeland Security agents found that
his fingerprint revealed his true identity.
Zeng Wei is wanted by Interpol.
The ICAC announced on January 28 that property tycoon
Zeng Wei was arrested in Saipan on the previous day.
Hong Kong will request that the US return Zeng.
Aged 51, Zeng was a key shareholder of the Yuhui Group.
He was alleged to have given bribes to bank staff for
loans and money laundering, so was wanted by ICAC.
Zeng faced four charges in Hong Kong on
October 7, 2010 over allegedly paying bribes.
In November 2010, Zeng applied to return
to Mainland China from Hong Kong.
This was reportedly due to the family
issues and to attend board meetings.
The judge approved his application for bail of HK$800,000.
In July 2011, Zeng didn’t turn up to
his Hong Kong hearing, and escaped.
Interpol issued an arrest warrant
for Zeng on October 21, 2011.
Hua Po, Beijing current affairs commentator, says
that 90% of the rich class in China are associated
with privileged groups and the CCP system.
They rely on this special background to achieve their goals.
Hua Po: “Zeng Wei’s name is very special, because
people instantly relate him with Zeng Qinghong,
Zeng Qinghong is a former Politburo Standing
Committee member, so it is not surprising."
Hua Po says that in China, the elite
have several identities and passports.
Being a rich businessman, it is not strange
that Zeng Wei holds a false passport.
Hua Po: “The Public Security Bureau has
previously found over 700,000 false identities.
What are the real identities of those 700,000 people?
I think there is no need for civilians to hold several identities.
Only those who want to go in-and-out of the country
need multiple identities, in order to grab more interests."
Caijing.com reported that Zeng Wei’s
background aroused much speculation.
Inside his company, people talked about
his high-profile family background.
Zeng once disclosed his background on his personal blog.
He says he was born in an old house at Shiye Street
in the Qingyang District of Chengdu, Sichuan Province.
His father was a small clerk.
Voice of America reported that Zeng Wei has
been repeatedly exposed by overseas media.
Many reports said that he was the son of Zeng Qinghong.
He spent AUD$32.4 million to
purchase a luxury home in Australia.
Caixin Online reported that he had
published an article in Hong Kong media.
This was to clarify that he was not related to any
former Central Politburo Standing Committee member.
Zhang Jian, US-based China affairs expert: “His purpose
is nothing more than to suggest to the public that what
he has done is not linked with the central Chinese regime.
By using state-own media to deny it, people
can actually become more certain of his identity."
Hua Po: “He just wanted to clear
out his relations with Zeng Qinghong.
Many people have the same names in China, however.
So whether this Zeng Wei is that Zeng Wei,
and because there are crucial interests,
he needed to clear this for Zeng Qinghong."
Caixin Online says that Zeng Wei is a Sichuan native,
He graduated from Chongqing Southwest University
in 1983, and joined the Development Ministry.
One year later, he was transferred
to Sichuan Province party committee.
In 1988, he went to Hainan Province, and served in the
Hainan provincial regime and provincial People’s bank.
He served as an assistant to the
governor of China Merchants Bank.
In 1996, he started a business in the property
sector, and founded Palm Springs Holdings Co. Ltd.
He was the chairman and president of the company.
