Ex-official accused of 鈥榲iolations鈥

China’s main anti-corruption watchdog yesterday said it has formally begun an investigation into the former governor of China’s populous southwestern province of Sichuan, accusing him of serious “discipline violations.”

The government said last month that the former governor, Wei Hong, was suspected of corruption, but had given no details other than using the term “discipline violations,” the common official euphemism for graft in China.

In a short statement, the Communist Party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said Wei was “disloyal to the Party, dishonest and did not value the many educational and remedial opportunities offered by the organisation.”

He “resisted” the investigation into him, was untruthful when questioned and “poked his hands into legal activities,” it added.
