**Police Officer Sentenced for Selling Over 50,000 Criminal Records** *Beijing, Sept. 15 (Reporter: Liu Suying)* — A police officer from a Beijing precinct, identified as Officer Nie, has been sentenced to four years in prison for accepting bribes in exchange for providing unauthorized access to more than 50,000 personal criminal records. Nie, who abused his access to the public security system, sold this sensitive information to a private company, earning over 328,000 yuan in illegal profits. An accomplice, Guo, an auxiliary officer who helped Nie in his crimes, has also been sentenced to 18 months in prison. The company involved, Rui Sike Management Consulting (Beijing) Co., Ltd., specializes in conducting background checks for clients, including verifying identity documents, academic credentials, and criminal records. The company’s legal representative, Dong, sought out Officer Nie after being introduced through a mutual acquaintance, hoping to expand the business by including criminal record checks as part of their background investigations. Because Nie had access to the internal police system through a digital security certificate, Dong and Nie reached an agreement where Nie would provide Dong with the requested criminal record information in exchange for payment. From 2014, Nie began sharing this information via email and even forged an official cooperation agreement between the police station and Dong’s company. By the time Nie and his colleagues were apprehended, Nie had accessed a total of 54,618 individual criminal records for Dong. Nie’s coworkers, including Guo, were also involved, using Nie’s credentials to help gather the information. Over the span of three years, Nie earned 328,000 yuan from Dong, out of which he paid Guo 95,000 yuan. Two other colleagues also profited from this scheme, receiving a combined sum of 24,000 yuan. In February 2017, Dong was arrested, followed shortly by Nie and Guo. The first trial court convicted Nie and Guo of bribery, sentencing Nie to four years in prison and fining him 300,000 yuan. Guo received an 18-month sentence and a fine of 100,000 yuan. Dong was found guilty of corporate bribery and sentenced to two years in prison, along with a fine of 500,000 yuan. Both Nie and Dong appealed the verdict. Nie argued that his sentence was too harsh, while Dong maintained that the collaboration was a legitimate business deal between the police department and his company, with no intention of committing bribery. However, the appeals court rejected their arguments. The court emphasized that Dong's company, being in the business of background checks, should have known that criminal records could only be legally accessed through the relevant local police departments. By paying Nie to obtain this information for commercial gain, Dong was seeking an unfair advantage. Furthermore, Dong had requested that Nie provide a formal statement in the name of the police station to circumvent the law, but the payments were made to Nie’s personal account, confirming the act of bribery. The appeals court upheld the original ruling, affirming both the convictions and the sentences for Nie and Dong.
