A government official in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province, has been confirmed of taking bribes and illegally running businesses after a whistle-blower alleged that he owned 21 houses, local Party discipline authorities said today.
Cai Bin, an official with the Panyu District branch of the Guangzhou Urban Management and Law Enforcement Bureau, has been placed under "shuanggui," a Chinese term for detention of officials suspected of corruption.
The scandal hit the headlines after someone posted a photocopy of Cai's property ownership document on Weibo, China's largest microblogging site.
Preliminary investigation showed Cai, 56, owned 18 houses in Panyu District and three others in Nansha District, totaling 7,200 square meters and valued at about 40 million yuan (US$6.37 million). But Cai's monthly pay is just around 10,000 yuan.
He has been sacked from his position.
