Top court official in corruption probe
最高法副院长奚晓明涉嫌严重违纪违法被查
Print Edition
THE vice president of China’s highest court is under investigation by the Party’s anti-corruption agency, becoming the most senior member of the judiciary to be named in the country’s ongoing anti-graft campaign.
Xi Xiaoming, 61, who joined the Supreme People’s Court in 1982, is suspected of “serious disciplinary violations and breaking the law,” the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said yesterday. It did not elaborate.
Xi joined the court as a clerk after serving as a police officer in Shenyang, capital of northeast China’s Liaoning Province.
He later became a judge at the Economics Court and presiding judge of the No. 2 Civil Affairs Court of the SPC, and was named vice president of the SPC in 2004.
He is also a member of the SPC’s judicial committee and China Judges Association vice president.
Xi, a Party member since 1975, became an SPC judge in 1985 while taking postgraduate and PhD courses at Peking University.
Some reports said the investigation might be related to one involving Zhang Xinming, head of the Shanxi Jinye Coal Coking Group. He was taken away by police last August during an investigation into alleged mafia-type activities and money laundering.
