Top official organized cliques
Print Edition
A FORMER senior official in neighboring Jiangsu Province has been found to have “organized cliques and corrupt cadres,” China’s top anti-graft body said yesterday.
This is said to be the first time such terms of criticism have been used by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Zhao Shaolin, 69, a former secretary general of the provincial Party committee, recklessly sought benefits for himself and others, said the commission.
It added that his son, Zhao Jin, received preferential treatment to open a club, where his father would wine and dine cadres and offer bribes.
The commission did not give details of the cliques.
Zhao Shaolin is also said to have made remarks criticizing strict Party discipline and concealed personal overseas trips to authorities.
He was also involved in foreign exchange fraud, according to the commission statement.
Zhao Shaolin severely violated disciplinary rules and interfered in a probe against him. Therefore, he was expelled from the Party, it said.
Meanwhile, Zhao Shaolin is also being investigated for alleged bribery and fraud, said China’s supreme procuratorate.
Prosecutors said he has been placed under “coercive measures.” These include summons by force, bail, residential surveillance, detention and arrest.
In 1970, Zhao was a factory worker in Nanjing, Jiangsu’s capital. He became a district Party chief in 1984 and deputy Party chief in Nanjing in 1989.
In 1998, he was promoted to the secretary general of the provincial Party committee, retiring from the post in 2006 at the age of 60.
