Former police head stands trial for graft

Xinhua, August 1, 2016 Adjust font size:

A former police head in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region stood trial Monday on corruption charges, authorities said.

Feng Zhiming, former member of the Party Committee of the public security bureau in Hohhot, the regional capital, was charged with bribery, embezzlement, illegal possession of guns and holding a large amount of money which he could not account for, according to the regional People's Procuratorate.

The trial of Feng, who also served as former deputy head of the bureau, drew much attention, as he once headed the investigation team in the case of Huugjilt, a teenager who was executed for murder and rape 19 years ago, but was exonerated in 2014 after another man insisted he was the killer.

Feng was put under investigation two days after the conviction against Huugjilt was overturned.

The trial continues. Endi
