Chairman of China Resources under probe: authority

Song Lin, chairman of state-owned enterprise China Resources, is under investigation for suspected serious violations of discipline and law, the anti-graft authority said Thursday.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of the Communist Party of China and the Ministry of Supervision released the news on the official website.

Song was earlier publicly tipped off, for the second time, by a journalist with the Xinhua-run Economic Information Daily on Tuesday.

Wang Wenzhi, the journalist, claimed that Song was suspected of embezzlement, dereliction of duty and keeping mistress.
