Investigators find 3,200 ‘naked officials’
Print Edition
CHINA has found more than 3,200 “naked officials” at county-level or above, Party officials said yesterday.
“Naked officials” are generally senior officials who have sent their families abroad, often as a conduit for transferring ill-gotten assets abroad in preparation for their own flight.
Some 1,000 “naked officials” who hold key positions and whose families had refused to return to China have been demoted, according to a statement from the Central Committee’s organization department.
In February the anti-graft spotlight fell on such officials as likely to be stealing sizable amounts and — once they fled — difficult to track down. Such officials are banned from promotions and from “important and sensitive” posts in areas such as the military, diplomacy and national security.
Personnel departments nationwide have held talks with “naked officials” and asked them to choose between accepting less sensitive posts or bringing their families home. Those who refused have been disciplined and will be regularly monitored.
South China’s Guangdong Province was the first to make high-profile moves against “naked officials,” drafting a law in October banning them from important posts.
