China prosecutor targets five local officials

Xinhua, August 10, 2016 Adjust font size:

Five government officials are under investigation or awaiting prosecution for accepting bribes, the People's Procuratorate (SPP) announced Wednesday.

They were Zhu Zejun, former head of the Guangdong provincial administration for industry and commerce; Peng Zeying, former inspector with Guangdong's Water Resources Department; Liu Zijing, former president of Guangdong Airport Authority; Wu Jiezhong, former vice mayor of Zhanjiang; and Jiang Jianming, former vice head of Donghua University in Shanghai, the SPP said in a statement.

Jiang, who is also accused of corruption and embezzling public funds, and Zhu have both been placed under "coercive measures," which include arrest, detention, issuing a warrant to compel a suspect to appear, bail pending trial, or residential surveillance, while their cases are being investigated.

The investigations into Peng, Liu and Wu have ended and their cases await formal prosecution, according to the SPP. End
