A DISTRICT police chief in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, who is being investigated for corruption was caught while planning to flee China with a vast sum of money, The Beijing News reported yesterday.
Wu Tao, 44, police chief in Chengdu's Jinjiang District and the district's deputy director, has links to other officials being investigated for corruption, the report said.
Wu, known as the "butler" of Li Chuncheng, the former deputy Party secretary of Sichuan, had four passports and planned to flee the country last month, a police insider told the newspaper. Police found him via his passport information and caught Wu about a month ago.
The police source said Wu had helped Li's wife Qu Songzhi get two passports so she could take trips to countries including Italy and the UAE between 2005 and 2012.
Li was removed from his post last December for alleged corruption. He is suspected of steering real estate development deals in Sichuan in return for favors, the newspaper said.
The insider also told The Beijing News that investigators are looking into Wu's "undisciplined life" and privately owned coal mine.
