Lottery pair suspected of taking bribes
Print Edition
Two state lottery officials have been stripped of their positions on suspicion of taking bribes, according to China鈥檚 top graft watchdog.
Former head of the China Welfare Lottery Management Center, Bao Xuequan, and his former deputy, Wang Yunge, were suspected of corruption following an investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs, which runs the Welfare Lottery, removed both officials from their Party and state positions, the watchdog said in a statement.
Bao was found to have used his position to seek material benefits, accept gifts and have 鈥渋mproper sexual relations.鈥 Wang, who was guilty of the same offenses, also resisted the investigation against him and was suspected of leaking state secrets.
Two civil affairs officials in charge of oversight of the lottery were demoted in February this year for failing to do enough to tackle 鈥渟ystematic corruption鈥 in the ministry.
Gambling is illegal in China, outside the two state-run lotteries, the China Welfare Lottery and the China Sports Lottery, the earnings from which are supposed to go toward social welfare and sporting projects.
