Ex-official investigated over bribery
Print Edition
Liu Tienan, former deputy chief of China’s top economic planning body, has been put under judicial investigation, suspected of taking bribes, it was announced yesterday.
The Supreme People’s Procuratorate said it had decided to open an investigation into Liu’s case and had imposed “compulsory measures” on him.
Liu, a former deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, was dismissed from his position in May over his suspected involvement in “serious disciplinary violations.” Earlier this month, he was expelled from the Communist Party and removed from public office.
The Party’s disciplinary watchdog said that Liu took advantage of his position to seek profits for others, and both Liu and his family accepted huge amount of bribes.
Liu was also found to “seek benefits for his relatives’ businesses by breaking relevant regulations and accepting cash and gifts. He was also “morally degenerate,” the watchdog said.
When President Xi Jinping took office in March, he vowed to root out corrupt officials ranging from high-ranking “tigers” to low-level “flies.”
In early July the former railways minister, Liu Zhijun, was given a suspended death sentence for huge bribery.
A series of low-level officials have come under investigation as well, often after ordinary Chinese exposed their often-salacious alleged scandals online.
