Ex-military official admits to bribes
Print Edition
GUO Boxiong, former vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, has confessed to taking bribes, military prosecutors said yesterday.
They said they had completed their investigation into Guo’s alleged corruption and had begun procedures to have him prosecuted.
Guo was found to have taken advantage of his position to assist in the promotion and reassignment of others, accepting huge bribes both personally and through his family, the prosecutors said in a statement.
Guo served as vice chairman of the CMC from 2002 to 2012.
The Central Committee of the Communist Party launched an investigation on April 9 last year, and he was expelled from the Party in July.
The military procuratorate, which began its investigation into Guo’s alleged corruption in July, said that prosecutors had gathered a large amount of evidence with which to prove their case.
They had also questioned Guo during the investigation, according to the statement, which added that the prosecutors had found Guo’s case to be “clear” and the evidence “sufficient.”
The procuratorate’s statement also said that Guo had been advised of his rights, including the right to have a lawyer and the right to defend himself.
It said that the questioning was carried out in strict accordance with the law and all the transcripts of his questioning had been read carefully and signed by Guo to ensure his rights were protected.
Based on evidence gathered in the investigation, Guo’s family members and others involved in his case will also be dealt with according to the law, the statement said.
