A POLICE chief in Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province, is under investigation after his subordinate accused him of having ties to drug traffickers and offering them protection.
Xie Longsheng, former deputy police chief in Yingde City, which is under the jurisdiction of Qingyuan, said Zheng Beiquan, Yingde's police chief before being promoted to Qingyuan, deliberately covered up a drug bust because his brother was involved, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported yesterday.
Police in Yingde caught 175 people, including dozens of minors, in a raid at the unlicensed Xinhuayue hotel in March, the report said. Officers also seized nearly 2 kilograms of illegal narcotics, including ketamine and ecstasy, during the raid.
Officers regarded the bust as a big success and reported it to Zheng, who "gave no response," according to Xie.
Hotel camera surveillance footage showed Zheng's brother was present during the raid and the hotel owner, Zeng Weibiao, was Zheng's old schoolmate.
"We never expected Zheng would be so irrational to order us to free all the suspects," Xie told the newspaper. Xie then launched a secret investigation and found Zheng's brother owned 15 percent of the hotel, the report said. When they tried to uncover more details, Zheng allegedly hindered their work. On August 6, Xie and the bureau's political commissar, Zhu Yingzhong, were transferred while Zheng was promoted.
Qingyuan's Party discipline watchdog on Tuesday said Zheng is being investigated on suspicion he abused his power for personal gain and having severe economic problems.
