A DEPUTY police chief in north China's Shanxi Province has been placed on probation for covering up his son's drunk driving.
Li Yali, deputy police chief of Shanxi and police chief of the provincial capital of Taiyuan, will be on probation within the Communist Party of China for one year, the CPC's provincial discipline and inspection authority announced yesterday.
The authority said the provincial government, as well as the government of Taiyuan, should remove Li from his police posts. Li was suspended from his police posts, as well as removed from his post as Party secretary of the Taiyuan public security bureau on December 7 in order to cooperate in an investigation following a whistleblower's report that claimed Li had used his position to cover up his son's drunk driving.
An investigation by the Party discipline authority found that Li had abused his power, a form of official misconduct, while handling his son's offense.
The investigation showed that Li had committed other wrongdoings related to organization and personnel matters.
A video showing Li's son Li Zhengyuan beating up a police officer made the rounds online after being uploaded to Chinese social media sites on October 28. The tape shows Li Zhengyuan assaulting an officer after being stopped for a traffic violation. Officers at the scene then forced him to take a blood alcohol test, the results of which indicated that he had been drunk driving.
However, instead of taking him into custody, some other officers walked him home.
