Features: The Liu Jinbao Case was a "high-profile case" assigned to the Jilin Provincial Procuratorate by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Supreme People's Procuratorate. During the investigation process, the State Council held two coordination meetings to discuss how to handle the Liu Jinbao Case. The Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Wu Guanzheng, personally presided over three meetings of the Central Anti-Corruption Leading Group specifically for the Liu Jinbao Case, gathering high-ranking officials from the public security, procuratorate, judiciary, and discipline inspection departments to discuss the case. Although Li Tiecheng's bribe amount was only 1.429 million yuan, which may seem modest compared to the hundreds of millions currently involved in corruption cases, this amount came from almost all members of the five leading bodies of the county, the heads of most departments, commissions, and offices in the county, as well as the mayors and township leaders of almost all townships. The reason this case is called a "high-profile case" mainly has two reasons: first, the amount involved was high, reaching 140 million yuan, and was known as the "financial case of Henan Province"; second, it involved the Prime Minister and Vice Premiers of the State Council, who both made comments on the handling of the case.
