MORE than 30 civil servants in Qingdao, a port city in eastern Shandong Province, have been detained in connection with a Mafia-style gang as police investigation continues, a prosecutor said.
Most of them are police officers, including two district police chiefs, said Guo Jiasen, director of the Shandong Provincial People's Procuratorate.
Following the arrest Nie Xin, the 45-year-old gang leader, and his 209 followers last October, 14 police officers were detained immediately and now the number of involved officials has exceeded 30, said The Peninsula Metropolis, a local newspaper.
Wang Xiaoqing, lieutenant captain of the city's SWAT team, and Chen Peng, who was honored as one of Qingdao's Top 10 Outstanding Individuals, are among the detained officials who allegedly tipped off the criminal gang before a police raid or gave them lenient punishment in exchange for bribes. Some officers even participated in the gang's crimes, Guo said.
Nie picked officers who are ambitious and greedy and paid money for their promotion. He once used 300,000 yuan (US$47,600) to move an officer to the rank of a bureau director because several bars and nightclubs owned by Nie were in his jurisdiction, the China Youth Daily reported.
The sprawling criminal network committed all kinds of crimes from lethal attacks, prostitution, gambling, drug business to illegally possession of firearms, the paper said.
