Bao Chongming, the former Communist Party of China (CPC) deputy chief of Chifeng City in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, has been charged with accepting bribes and abuse of power, the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) announced Thursday.

Bayannur City Procuratorate in Inner Mongolia filed the indictment to the city court last week, the SPP statement said.

Bao is accused of abusing his power by selling state-owned properties at unreasonably discounted prices, causing huge losses to the government, according to the prosecutors.

He was also accused of exploiting his position to seek profits for others in exchange for an "extremely huge" amount of money and properties.
