Share to: Comments welcome, I want to comment. Wang is 43 years old this year, her husband Huang was originally the party secretary of Chongqing Paper Mill. In 2010, when the paper mill was being demolished and renovated, in October, a truck driver raised funds for his son's piano solo concert (picture), Huang used his position to collude with Wang, who was serving as the director and party secretary of the Paper Community Residents' Committee of the Guanyinqiao Subdistrict Office in Jiangbei District. They forged house demolition agreements, fabricated expenses, and jointly embezzled more than 650,000 yuan of public funds.

In February 2011, Huang handed over 600,000 yuan from the embezzled funds to his wife Wang, instructing her to open a bank account under her mother's name to deposit the money. Knowing that the money was obtained through her husband's bribery and corruption, Wang still opened an account under her mother's name at the end of February 2011 and deposited the 600,000 yuan. At the end of June 2011, Huang asked Wang to withdraw all the money and hand it over to the community director Wang for them to continue covering up their embezzlement using false agreements. In August 2011, both Huang and Wang were implicated in the case and sentenced to prison, leading to the exposure of Huang's wife Wang.

Chongqing Evening News reports that the husband went to great lengths to embezzle more than 600,000 yuan of public funds, hiding it under his mother-in-law's name to avoid suspicion, thinking no one would find out. However, the corrupt official was caught and ended up implicating his wife. Recently, the wife of the corrupt official was sentenced by the Jiangbei District Court for money laundering.

At the end of December 2011, Wang was prosecuted for suspected money laundering. The Jiangbei District Court ruled that Wang knew the 600,000 yuan was obtained through her husband Huang's criminal activities but still opened a bank account under her mother's name to help conceal the source and nature of the funds, constituting money laundering. She was sentenced to one and a half years in prison, suspended for two years, and fined 30,000 yuan.
