Recently, the company under his name filed law suit against Shapingba Branch of Chongqing Public Security Bureau. The lawsuit is for illegal seizure of the company's official seal, and it's property. Li Jun is currently hiding overseas, and an arrest warrant for him is still in effect. More than 30 people associated with Li, including his relatives and former employees, have been labeled as gangsters, and were sentenced in 2010. On behalf of Li Jun, Luo Hao, a legal representative of Chongqing Junfeng Real Estate Co., Ltd., filed a lawsuit against Shapingba Branch of Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau on February 28. Beijing lawyer Li Zhuang, as the agent and deputy general manager of the company, sent forth two lawyers to deliver the indictment. It was delivered to Chongqing Higher People's Court and the Intermediate People's Court. The High Court did not accept the appeal. The Intermediate Court kept the appeal, but indicated the acceptance is contingent upon a superior's approval. According to the indictment, Li Jun requested canceling Shapingba Public Security Bureau's two written decisions. Li also requested confirmation that seizing the company's official seal was illegal, to return 66.8 million yuan, and to compensate for the loss of 69.57 million yuan. Luo Hao, Chongqing Junfeng Real Estate: "During the investigation, they transferred 66.8 million yuan out the company's account. There was no court decree. It was done by the investigation team of the public security bureau. Then, the Court determined Li Xiuwu's income of 66.8 million yuan as illegal. But, that was a bond company. They transferred money out of our real estate company, which had nothing to do with the case." Luo Hao indicated Bo's policy of targeting gangsters cost too much for the local governments to afford. He believed that Bo Xilai confiscated private assets to balance the books. He said, Bo was targeting the entire Junfeng Real Estate, not just the 66.8 million yuan. Luo Hao: "Their greatest intention was to own the entire Junfeng Real Estate. There are a few acres of land under Junfeng. With those properties, they can sell for a couple of billion yuan. That's the money they are after." Li Jun was arrested on December 4 2009, on charges of "allegedly bribery". The Chongqing public security bureau asked Li to confess that he was the triad boss. He was forced to admit to committing crimes of bribery, firearms trafficking, prostitution, loan-sharking and supporting illegal religious organizations. Li Jun was brutally tortured. After weeks of torture, Li Jun was told that to be free from more torture, he had to pay the military 40 million yuan. This was to compensate a piece of land he had purchased. In March 2010, Li Jun was released after paying the "fine". Police involved in the interrogation were rewarded with 100,000 yuan from the military. Li Jun is currently hiding overseas. His wife, family members, and employees were arrested. His brother and nephew who took over his assets were sentenced to 18 years and 13 years in prison, respectively. The rest were sentenced with sentences of several months to several years. Luo Hao indicated that Bo labeled Li Jun's company as "triad" for the purpose of confiscating his assets. Luo Hao: "It is impossible to form a triad with just a couple of people. Triad is an organization. They purposely put together a couple of dozens of people by including the company employees and the security guards to make it look like a gang. They charged the gang with a crime. That way it becomes easy for them to seize the property." Luo Hao said Bo Xilai planned to take over the company through a managing company. Wang Lijun's incident slowed down the progress. After the 18th National Congress, things changed. On September 30 last year, the official seal was returned to the company. At the end of November, the company account was released. Li Jun was one of the richest businessmen in Chongqing. His investments, ranged from real estate, gas stations, nightclubs, the financial industry, through to hotels. He had annual revenue of about one billion yuan. His estimated total asset at that time was about 4.5 billion yuan. 《神韵》2013世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
