On July 28, at the invitation of the Discipline Inspection Commission Office of New China Life Insurance, Attorney An Hongpeng, a partner at Beijing King&Capital Law Firm, visited the company’s headquarters at the New China Life Insurance Tower to deliver a lecture. He presented a special seminar titled “Practical Issues in Discipline Inspection and Supervision: Analysis of Typical Cases of New Forms of Corruption” to approximately 160 full-time discipline inspection officials from New China Life Insurance’s headquarters, branches, and subsidiaries.
This training session was a key component of the annual training plan for the discipline inspection sector across the New China Life Insurance system. It served as a concrete manifestation of thoroughly implementing the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and deeply understanding and adhering to the requirements of the “Year of Advancing the Three-Pronged Development” initiative, which calls for another two years of concentrated efforts.
Attorney An’s lecture centered on “new forms of corruption,” emphasizing practical and real-world applications. Taking into account the perspectives of both investigators and defense counsel, he employed case-based instruction, “offense-defense” analysis, and interactive discussions to clarify key points of judicial determination. This provided valuable insights for disciplinary inspection and supervision work and further enhanced professional capabilities in this field.
During the session, Attorney An first deepened participants’ understanding of “new forms of corruption” by explaining the conceptual framework and comparing the distinguishing characteristics of “new forms of corruption” and “covert corruption” with those of traditional corruption; He then drew on his own experience in anti-graft and disciplinary inspection and supervision work to analyze the fundamental characteristics of investigating and handling official misconduct cases under current circumstances. From the perspective of a criminal defense attorney, he shared unique insights into the patterns and characteristics of such cases, offering attendees fresh perspectives; Finally, using four typical cases of power-for-money transactions from his own publications as examples, he focused on case handling strategies, psychological tactics, key factors in case adjudication, and the distinction between correct and incorrect approaches. By adopting the perspectives of both investigators and defense attorneys, he explained the key issues and critical points in handling official misconduct cases to the attendees.
In addition, Attorney An introduced his original legal service product, “Consulting Services for Risk Prevention and Control in Integrity in Public Service.”
The lecture lasted three hours. Attorney An’s explanations were both in-depth and accessible. Attendees actively shared their views, leading to frequent on-site interaction and a lively atmosphere. The lecture was well-received and garnered unanimous praise.
