Anti-corruption drive claims top bureaucrat
A SENIOR regional official has been sacked after his mistresses reportedly accused him of taking bribes and nepotism, making him the latest Communist high-flyer to fall in an anti-corruption drive.
Wang Suyi, 52, has been removed from his post as chief of the United Front Work Department in the northern region of Inner Mongolia, an agency that laicizes among the Party and non-Communist organizations. He is under investigation for "serious disciplinary violations" ? usually a euphemism for corruption.
Wang's mistresses accused him of taking 100 million yuan (US$16.3 million) in bribes, and of nepotism involving about 30 relatives, Gu Hua, a senior editor at Henan Daily, posted on China's Twitter-like social network Weibo, according to the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post.
Wang, who is based in the regional capital of Hohhot, is the latest high-level Party official to fall since President Xi Jinping in November proclaimed a widely-publicized drive against government waste and graft.
Ni Fake, once the vice governor of Anhui Province in eastern China, last month was said to be under investigation for "suspected serious disciplinary offences."
In May, the Party announced the sacking of Liu Tienan, deputy director of the powerful National Development and Reform Commission, following a probe into graft allegations that emerged on the Internet.
In December Li Chuncheng, deputy Party secretary of the southwestern province of Sichuan, was fired for "serious violations of discipline" for taking huge bribes while in lower-level posts.
