Former senior Tibet official focus of corruption probe
Print Edition
A FORMER top security official in the Tibet Autonomous Region is being investigated for suspected corruption, the ruling Communist Party’s anti-graft watchdog said yesterday.
Le Dake, now deputy head of Tibet’s regional legislature, is being investigated for alleged “serious violation of discipline and law,” the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said, using the usual euphemism for graft.
According to his official biography, Le was head of the State Security Department in Tibet from 2004 to 2013.
Since taking power in 2012, President Xi Jinping has vowed to fight deep-seated corruption, though parts of the country with big minority populations, such as Tibet and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, have largely escaped the campaign.
In January, anti-graft authorities found 15 senior Party officials in Tibet guilty of corruption last year and punished them.
In a separate statement, the anti-graft watchdog said Huang Xiangtian, who was Party chief of regional capital Lhasa’s economic development zone, will be prosecuted for bribery and embezzlement.
