Hundreds investigated in battle to end graft
Print Edition
THE Party’s disciplinary authorities have investigated 440 officials at or above provincial or corps level for corruption over the past five years, an official said yesterday.
Among them, 43 members and alternate members of the Central Committee, as well as nine members of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, were investigated, Yang Xiaodu, the CCDI’s deputy secretary told a press conference on the sidelines of the Party’s 19th National Congress.
The Party’s high-profile anti-corruption campaign has led to the downfall of a number of high-level officials, known as “tigers,” and lower-level “flies” who serve at the grassroots level.
Among the “tigers” felled in the campaign were Zhou Yongkang, Bo Xilai, Guo Boxiong, Xu Caihou, Sun Zhengcai and Ling Jihua.
Yang said more than 8,900 city-level officials and over 63,000 county level officials were punished during the period.
A total of 278,000 grassroots Party members and officials were also punished, he said.
China is working with the international community to hunt corruption suspects who had fled overseas, leading to the capture of 3,453 fugitives, Yang said.
Among the top-100 fugitives listed on an Interpol red notice, 48 have been arrested, he said.
According to the congress report, the Party will secure a “sweeping victory” in its fight against corruption, the “greatest threat” the Party faces. It said the fight against graft never ends and remains grave and complex.
