Lei Zhengfu (Chinese Politician) Wiki, Biography, Age, Wife, Net Worth

On November 20, 2012, a series of hotel room sex screenshots titled “Lei, the secretary who accepts sex bribes”, were published on a personal website called “Civil Supervision”. Lei Zhengfu was the Beibei District of Chongqing Party Secretary at the time. A few hours later, these screenshots started to go viral through microblogs. Sixty-three hours after the screenshots first went online, on November 23, Chongqing Municipal People’s Government information office official made an announcement that the government had proved the male shown in the video was Lei, who will be removed from his position. This case is believed to be a result of “Network supervision by public opinion”.

After the conclusion of the 18th Party Congress in China, on November 20, 2012, Zhu Ruifeng posted the screen shot on his website “Civil Supervision”; Xu Jiguang, a former investigative journalist later posted it on his personal microblog. Because of the popularity of microblogs in China, people started to pay attention; the number of hits to the Civil Supervision blog dramatically increased, reaching more than 20 million.

In 2009, the property developer let others use this video to threaten Lei, who confessed his “romantic relation” to his supervisor. After the investigation, the mistress and builder were arrested under the “Sike Seal Crime”. Lei was protected and was promoted few months later to be the Beibei District Party Secretary. During these three years, the video was kept secret.
