Airport boss detained over bribery case
THE former chairman of the company that manages Beijing International Airport has been detained over a corruption case 10 years ago.
Zhang Zhizhong, 60-year-old former chairman of Capital Airport Holding Co, was detained last Thursday, according to the news Website of the Supreme People's Procuratorate today.
It was reported that Zhang would retire in a few months before he was put under double designation status this March. Double designation is when a Party official is ordered to answer allegations of disciplinary violations or corruption at a designated time and place.
An insider told the Website that Zhang was implicated in a 10-year-old corruption case and is suspected of receiving hundreds of thousands of yuan in bribes. The Party disciplinary watchdog was investigating the case.
Zhang was the head of the transportation office in the Civil Aviation Administration 10 years ago. The insider said Zhang was accused of taking the money from a private travel agency and giving it the monopoly on a popular air route.
The source said the transportation office was the most powerful department in the Civil Aviation Administration.
Zhang was appointed chairman of Capital Airport Holding Co in January 2007, after the company's last chairman Li Peiying was brought down by corruption.
Li was convicted of embezzling 82.5 million yuan (US$12.07 million) and accepting 26.6 million yuan in bribes during his tenure. He was executed last August.
The 59-year-old Li accepted bribes in exchange for granting loans and providing bank loan guarantees to others using the Capital Airport's money.
