Graft probe into ex-railway minister is over

Preliminary investigation into the corruption of China's former railway minister Liu Zhijun has finished, according to sources in the ministry.

Liu took massive amounts of bribes from businesswoman Ding Shumiao who used his connection to make huge illegal profits from several railway projects and won a 3 billion yuan (US$471 million) bid.

The ministry also accused him of "degenerate morals" and "philandering with several women" -- terms referring to keeping mistresses, Caixin.com reported today.

Most of Liu's corruption allegations involve Ding, president of an investment management company based in Shanxi Province. The ministry said Ding sent three pretty women to Liu.

The disgraced minister also received bribes from four other officials, including calligraphic works and paintings. But the total amount of his bribes have not yet been figured out, the sources told Caixin.

The probe into Ding's criminal activities has finished and her case has entered the judicial process.
