A senior anti-smuggling official dubbed "Dragon King" by the media was found to have been paid at least 100,000 yuan (US$15,431.9) a month by a large smuggling ring in exchange for tip-offs and protection, Guangzhou-based Nanfang Daily reported today.
Huang Huanguang, former anti-smuggling division chief of Shenzhen Customs, would receive his "salary" -- four 10-pack cartons of luxury cigarettes, a bottle of luxury wine and 100,000 yuan in cash from the ring leader Tan Xinming over dinner.
In return, Huang provided tip-offs to the ring which was engaged in diesel smuggling before each crackdown by law enforcement units, the paper said.
To reward Huang for his vital information, Tan doubled his payment to Huang in two months in 2008 and was obliged to raise Huang's "salary" to 200,000 yuan after some his ring members and goods were seized by customs in August 2008.
The tax-free light diesel can only be traded in Hong Kong and Macao. The group had evaded import tariff worth about 330 million yuan by smuggling in 169,000 tons of diesel in six months in 2008.
