DISCIPLINE inspection authorities are investigating a deputy mayor in south China's Guangdong Province after information about him was posted online by a woman claiming to be his mistress.
The information, which spread rapidly over the web this week, accused Chen Yachun, vice mayor of Maoming City, of indecency and corruption.
The woman said her relationship with Chen began in 2003, when Chen was attending a training session at the Party School of the Communist Party of China Central Committee in Beijing. "He made me light-headed with excessive liquor and I was unconscious when he took me to bed... I was 27 and he was 51," she claims.
The woman did not reveal her name, but said she had formerly worked as a reporter in Beijing.
She also posted photos of a naked man, whom she claimed was Chen. As well as the photos, she said she possessed videos and voice recordings of Chen taking bribes.
The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection confirmed that it had started an investigation into Chen's case. The commission did not say whether Chen would be suspended from his post in the meantime.
