Authorities widen scope of anti-graft campaign
Print Edition
Chinese authorities are to hunt down individuals and organizations which engage in serial bribery, especially in cases which cause serious public anger or accidents.
The country鈥檚 top prosecutor, as part of broader efforts to fight corruption, will focus on 鈥渆normous, long-term and serial鈥 bribery in a new campaign, Xinhua news agency said.
鈥(We must) seriously punish bribery which occurs in the selection of officials, and seriously punish bribery which severely harms the people鈥檚 interests and leads to mass incidents or serious accidents,鈥 Xinhua said, citing a meeting held by the prosecutor.
Thousands of 鈥渕ass incidents,鈥 or protests, occur each year, triggered by corruption, pollution, illegal land grabs and other grievances.
鈥(We must) increase expropriations for illegal income from bribery, raise the cost of the crime of bribery, and bring shock and awe,鈥 the report added.
President Xi Jinping embarked on a sweeping campaign against graft when he took office two years ago.
Many of the senior officials felled since then, including former domestic security chief Zhou Yongkang, have been implicated in bribery.
