Former Chongqing senior legislator indicted for bribery

Xinhua, April 10, 2015 Adjust font size:

Tan Qiwei, a former senior legislator in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, has been indicted for taking bribes, according to the Supreme People's Procuratorate on Friday.

Prosecutors in Hengshui City in north China's Hebei Province filed the case against the 61-year-old Tan at the Hengshui Intermediate People's Court.

Tan abused his power to obtain benefits for others and took large amounts in bribes when he served as government and Party chief of Chongqing's Nan'an District as well as Chongqing's vice mayor and deputy director of the Chongqing Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee, according to the indictment.
