A district Party chief in the eastern city of Wuxi is under investigation after authorities were tipped off about his corrupt practices and lifestyle.
Zhu Weiping, 51, Party secretary of Binhu District, allegedly took at least 100 millions yuan (US$16 million) in bribes and kept several mistresses.
Since September he has been placed under "double-designation," a special investigation scheme of the Party where an official is ordered to give explanation or confess about his or her alleged involvement in a discipline violation or corruption case at a designated time and in a designated place, the 21st Century Business Herald reported yesterday.
Discipline officials from the Party have uncovered "many" property ownership certificates and bank books from Zhu's home, according to the newspaper report.
Zhu's downfall is said to have been triggered by a dispute with a manager of a local steel company called Xuefeng.
The company borrowed 200 million yuan from a bank with the help of Zhu who was promised some commission.
But the company got only half of the loan and suspected Zhu of siphoning off the rest of the loan amount.
As Xuefeng's debts piled up, it decided to report it to the government. Details of how Zhu kept his mistresses were also mentioned in the tip-off report, the report said.
Zhu was regarded as an aggressive and daring official. He was appointed as Party secretary of Binhu District in July 2011.
