THE former Party chief of Fengcheng City, Liaoning Province has fled to the United States as authorities began to probe allegations against him, the People's Daily reported today.
Wang Guoqiang, the Party secretary of Fengcheng, allegedly left the country in April or May after channeling more than 200 million yuan (US$31.46 million) of embezzled funds to the US where his other family members live as immigrants.
Local officials said Wang was removed from his post before he went overseas but refused to disclose any details. "We are unfamiliar with his case," said an official with the city's Party organization department.
Wang was being investigated for taking bribes from a local heating company and some property developers.
Online posts said the Haide Heating Co Ltd was run by Wang's friend after it changed from a state-owned company into a private one a few years ago. Haide continued to charge heating fees from local homes without supplying heat.
Wang went abroad under the guise of "conducting a field study" before discipline authorities were able to detain him on corruption charges.
Ma Yanchuan, the mayor of Fengcheng, has taken over his post as the city's Party secretary.
