A LAWMAKER at the center of a honey trap sex scandal in Chongqing City in southwestern China is being investigated by China’s top Party disciplinary watchdog.
This comes amid claims that Tan Qiwei, former deputy chairman of the standing committee of Chongqing People’s Congress, took bribes while heading a mass relocation program during the Three Gorges Dam project.
The CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) announced the investigation against Tan over the weekend. No details of the probe were given by the CCDI.
But an unnamed Chongqing government official claimed Tan took bribes while relocating 1.2 million people during the building of the Three Gorges Dam spanning the Yangtze River.
In the honey trap episode that transfixed China in 2012, Tan was alleged to have been blackmailed by local businessman Xiao Ye.
Xiao was jailed for 10 years last June for recruiting young women to lure officials into compromising situations and secretly recording the trysts.
The sex footage was used to blackmail officials.
The insider said that Tan, the city’s vice mayor between 2006 and January last year, abused his power to offer Xiao a road construction contract.
Tan took on the Three Gorges Dam relocation job while vice mayor. When promoted to deputy chairman of the local People’s Congress, he was still assigned to manage the project.
The National Audit Office last year said almost 279 million yuan (US$44.6 million) of the project’s relocation funds were misappropriated.
