Ex-official in the dock over 鈥榚vil teachings鈥
Print Edition
a former official who was 鈥渙bsessed with divination鈥 for corruption China will face prosecution, the top graft-buster said yesterday, in the latest warning to Party members and officials not to engage superstitious activities.
Wu Dehua, who worked in the southwestern city of Chongqing鈥檚 Yubei District, was expelled from the Party and handed over to legal authorities after a probe found serious discipline violations, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said on its website.
Wu鈥檚 transgressions included being 鈥渙bsessed with divination and fortune telling鈥 and trying to create his own 鈥渇allacious and evil teachings,鈥 it said.
He was also accused of taking bribes, spreading political rumors, exchanging power for money and money for sex, and collecting 鈥渞eactionary magazines.鈥
China officially guarantees freedom of religion for major belief systems, but Party members are meant to be atheists and are especially banned from participating in superstitious practices like visiting soothsayers.
