A FORMER police official under investigation in north China's Shanxi Province has been accused of selling police jobs in cooperation with his son and abused his power in promoting officers dozens of times during his time in office, local media have reported.
Li Yali has been removed from both of his positions as the Taiyuan City police chief and the provincial deputy police chief.
The action comes amid allegations of a cover-up after his son was filmed in a confrontation with police when stopped for drunk driving, according to media reports.
Video posted online showed Li Yali's son assaulting police.
Li, head of Taiyuan police less than a year, awarded jobs and promotions to over 100 people during that time without following required procedures in most cases, Xinmin Weekly reported.
It was the son, Li Zhengyuan, who asked his father to reserve places for his close friends, the magazine reported.
Liu Bo, head of Yingze police station, and one of Li Zhengyuan's buddies, told Xinmin Weekly he paid the father and son millions of yuan for his job. Liu, a former hooligan who said he considered the price a bargain, also said he was a middleman who helped more than 20 people buy their police jobs, the magazine reported.
The magazine said the father, then deputy police chief in Jinzhong City, abused his power to give his son a job in police in 2008.
Li Yali has been placed under "double designation," a procedure in which Party members are asked to confess or explain wrongdoings at a designated time and in a designated place. Officials are investigating.
