The trial last week of Wen Qiang, allegedly one of the key figures in the biggest crackdowns on gang crimes in the country, does not just serve as a warning to government officials against the abuse of power but also shows how complicated the fight against corruption can be.
Rome was not built in a day. Evidence has shown that Wen, as former director of the Chongqing municipal bureau of justice, did not collect his huge fortune illegally in a matter of days.
The long list of the money he has taken on different occasions and in different quantities during the years when he was in power unveils what a person he is and how unscrupulous he has been in accepting money and properties his subordinates have given him.
