A former senior Party official in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province has been prosecuted for allegedly accepting bribes, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate said yesterday.

Han Xuejian, an erstwhile member of the standing committee of the Party’s Heilongjiang provincial committee and Party chief of the city of Daqing, has been questioned by prosecutors in Liaoyuan, northeast China’s Jilin Province, it said in a statement.

Han took advantage of his position to seek benefits for others and accepted a huge amount in bribes, the indictment said.

The Party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced in December 2014 that Han was under investigation for alleged violations of discipline and law.

He was expelled from the Party and dismissed from public office in April last year.

Meanwhile, Qin Yuhai, the former deputy director of the Henan Provincial People’s Congress Standing Committee, has also been prosecuted for allegedly accepting bribes, the SPP said.

The Zibo Municipal People’s Procuratorate in east China’s Shandong Province will begin prosecution proceedings at Zibo Intermediate People’s Court, it said.

According to the indictment, Qin sought benefits and illegally accepted “a huge amount of property” from others while serving as Party chief for the city of Jiaozuo in Henan, vice governor of Henan, head of the provincial public security department, and deputy director of the Henan Provincial People’s Congress Standing Committee.

He was placed under investigation and then dismissed from his post for suspected “serious discipline and law violations” by the Organization Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee in September 2014.
