Former provincial official prosecuted for bribery

Xinhua, March 26, 2015 Adjust font size:

Former Chinese provincial official Yang Baohua has been prosecuted for taking bribery, the Supreme People's Procuratorate said on Thursday.

Yang, former vice chairman of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was put under investigation last May for suspected serious "violation of discipline and law".

According to the prosecuting authorities, Yang illegally took a huge amount of money and goods, sought benefits for others by abusing power while he served on various party and government positions in central province of Hunan from city leader to vice chairman of the provincial political advisory body.
