2 officials face charges

A FORMER senior agricultural official of Hunan Province and a sports chief will soon be charged with taking bribes in two separate cases.

Hunan Province People's Procuratorate Office has concluded the investigations into Cheng Haibo, 57, former vice director of the Hunan Agricultural Bureau, and Fu Guoliang, former director of the Hunan Sports Bureau, People.com.cn reported yesterday.

Cheng had allegedly taken more than 20 million yuan (US$2.93 million) in bribes, according to Chang Zhiyu, vice-chief prosecutor with Hunan Province People's Procuratorate Office.

The investigation was reportedly sparked by a probe into businessman Li Jiaxiang, who had developed the 600-million-yuan Jinzuan Plaza in Changde City, according to earlier media reports.

Cheng remained close with Li when he was Changde's Party secretary from 2001 to 2006.

Cheng, a native of Hunan's Yueyang City, was promoted to vice director of the province's agricultural bureau in April 2006 after serving as Changde's Party secretary and mayor.
