Three police officers in a rural county in northwest Shaanxi Province have been suspended after a local woman was exposed to own 20-plus apartments in Beijing and several permanent residence permits, the China News Service reported.
Gong Aiai, former deputy chief of a rural bank in Shenmu County and a local legislator, was suddenly in media spotlight after someone revealed on the Internet that she owned more than 20 apartments in Beijing, worth about 1 billion yuan.
She also has two citizen ID cards and four permanent residence permits, an obvious violation of the Chinese law, which forbids Chinese citizens to have more than one ID card and residence permit to prevent people from evading taxes and restrictions on housing purchase.
The three suspended officers included a deputy director of Shenmu County Public Security Bureau. They are accused of helping the woman to obtain multiple residence permits, according to government investigators.
Earlier this month, online whistleblowers revealed that Gong accumulated over 20 properties in Beijing using her fake IDs.
Following the online exposure, Gong explained that she quit her job with the Shenmu County Commercial Bank and started helping her family with their family businesses, which include mining. The houses were purchased with her legal income, and she did not use her position at the bank to acquire them, she said.
Yu Qingcai, chairman of the bank, said Gong tendered her resignation letter last year and has not contacted the bank since. The bank approved her resignation request early this month.
Details of their investigation were not released yet.
