The documentary 档案 2015:打黑风暴 刘汉涉黑集团的覆灭 examines the life and criminal activities of Liu Han, a billionare mining and energy magnate who built a multinational business empire from Sichuan. Although Liu was prosecuted for running a mafia-like enterprise involved in kidnapping and murder, his deep ties to former Sichuan Party Secretary Zhou Yongkang may have been the driving factor in his prosecution for criminality and corruption. On Monday, the state executed Liu after the Supreme People’s Court reportedly upheld his death sentence.
