Arrest over 14,000 deleted fine records
Print Edition
A SOFTWARE expert has been arrested in Lianyungang City in east China’s Jiangsu Province in connection with deleting the traffic violation records of more than 14,000 people from a police database.
Police claimed that over a period of three years, Li Zhi, who developed and maintained the online traffic management platform, made more than 6 million yuan (US$980,000) by deleting records involving fines of up to 10 million yuan, the Yangtze Evening News reported yesterday.
Li has been handed over to the prosecutors in Guanyun County on hacking charges.
If convicted, he faces a sentence of more than five years.
The case came to light in January when a police official in Guanyun found that drivers’ traffic violation records were missing from the Lianyungang’s online traffic management platform.
But the records could still be found on the online platform of Jiangsu police, the paper reported.
Guanyun police launched an investigation and claim that Li worked in tandem with a couple, Hu Shian and Song Lili, and made millions by deleting the records.
In April 2011, Lianyungang traffic administration started to install a vehicle information recording system in local auto centers which sell vehicles and spare parts and offering services.
Song, an auto center manager, came into contact with Li when he installed the system at her shop. She asked Li to help delete a friend’s traffic violation record, for which he was paid money, the paper reported.
Li is said to have hacked into the police Intranet and deleted the record and soon after joined up with the couple in the illegal enterprise.
The trio and five associates were held in April.
