Former top prosecutor in disgrace
Print Edition
THE former head of Shanghai People’s Procuratorate has been placed under “coercive measures” for suspected bribe-taking.
The Supreme People’s Court of China said yesterday that Chen Xu, who has served in Shanghai’s judiciary since the 1970s, had seriously violated disciplines by abusing his powers to interfere in the judicial process so as to seek benefits for others in return for personal gain.
In 2008, he was named as Shanghai’s top prosecutor, and in June 2009 he became the procuratorate’s Party chief. He resigned his posts in January 2016 and was expelled from the Party last month.
China’s top anti-graft body said Chen had violated rules barring Party officials from private clubs and accepted tours, golf games and money, among other favors. He had allowed his relatives to use his influence to do illegal business.
He had seriously damaged the credibility of the judiciary and social justice and violated the party’s rules for frugality, the court said, adding that he not only refused to confess but had also put up a fight against the investigation.
Coercive measures include summons by force, bail, residential surveillance, detention and arrest.
