Xinhua, October 18, 2016 Adjust font size:

Xi Xiaoming, former vice president of the Supreme People's Court (SPC), and Gu Chunli, former vice governor in northeast China's Jilin Province, have been indicted for taking bribes, the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) said on Tuesday.

The SPP has designated Tianjin and Harbin procuratorates to initiate prosecution against Xi and Gu respectively.

According to the indictments, Xi and Gu both took advantage of their posts to seek benefits for others and accepted a huge amount in bribes.

Prosecutors have informed Xi and Gu of their litigation rights, questioned the defendants, and listened to representations from their lawyers, according to a statement from the SPP. Endi
