A SENIOR anti-smuggling official, dubbed "Dragon King" by the media, was paid at least 100,000 yuan (US$15,433) a month by a smuggling ring for tip-offs and protection, Guangzhou-based Nanfang Daily reported yesterday.
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 from smuggling ringleader Tan Xianming over dinner.
In return, Huang provided tip-offs to the diesel smuggling ring before each crackdown by law enforcement, the paper said.
As a reward for vital information, Tan doubled Huang's payment for two months in 2008 and raised his "salary" to 200,000 yuan after ring members and goods were seized in August 2008.
The ring had 22 vessels used to smuggle red oil. The tax-free light diesel can only be traded in Hong Kong and Macau. It evaded import tariffs worth 330 million yuan by smuggling 169,000 tons of diesel to the Chinese mainland in six months in 2008.
Last November, Huang was jailed for 11 years for taking 3 million yuan in bribes.
