China investigated 2,723 corrupt officials at or above the county level in 2010, including 188 at the prefecture level and six at the ministerial level, Procurator-General Cao Jianming said yesterday.
Prosecutors arrested 1,282 fugitives for work-related crimes in 2010 and recovered illicit money and goods worth of 7.4 billion yuan (US$112.5 million), Cao said in a report delivered at the ongoing annual parliamentary session.
Prosecutors investigated 44,085 people in 32,909 work-related crimes in 2010, respectively registering a year-on-year increase of 6.1 percent and 1.4 percent, he said.
China will target corruption and officials' misconduct behind major accidents and "mass incidents," usually referring to protests and illegal gatherings, in its graft probe in 2011, Cao said.
Prosecutors will focus on investigating and handling crimes by leading government organs and officials for corruption, malfeasance and dereliction in 2011, Cao said.
Work-related crimes in "key sectors and links," -misconduct such as power abuse and corruption by officials in grassroots administrations, and officials who serve as "protective umbrella" for mafia-style gangs and evil forces would be targeted in prosecutors' tougher fight against corruption this year, he said.
Cao also pledged to continue severe crack down on commercial bribery crimes and prevent and reduce work-related crimes.
Han Deyun, a deputy to the National People's Congress, the parliament, called China's endeavor to tackle corruption "a systematic project that requires extensive participation."
To address corruption, China would effectively develop a system for preventing and punishing the practice, Premier Wen Jiabao said in the government work report delivered to legislators at the parliamentary session.
China would also make -investigating and handling large and major corruption cases an important -measure in -fighting the problem, while paying -closer attention to -institutional -development, Wen announced.
