Party expels former top Shanghai prosecutor
Print Edition
THE Party has kicked out the former top prosecutor in Shanghai over a range of violations, it said yesterday, adding that a lawsuit for suspected bribe-taking will be launched.
Chen Xu, who had served in Shanghai’s judiciary since the 1970s, had “seriously damaged the credibility of the judiciary and social justice,” the Party’s internal watchdog said on its website.
According to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, an investigation showed Chen, 64, had violated a range of Party rules governing the behavior of cadres and he was suspected of accepting bribes.
It said he had interfered in the judiciary process, used his position to benefit others, including family members, accepted vacations and golf games, violated rules barring Party officials from private clubs and followed superstitious beliefs, among other transgressions.
The bribery case against Chen was being turned over to the courts, it said.
Chen was named as Shanghai’s top prosecutor in February 2008 and head of the Party committee in the procuratorate in June the following year, according to the commission statement.
