Ministry official ‘faked information’
Print Edition
A FORMER ministerial-level official at the Ministry of Justice was expelled from the Communist Party of China and dismissed from public office for faking personal documents, buying official positions and bribery.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a statement yesterday that an investigation into Lu Enguang, a former member of the leading Party group in the ministry, found that he had provided fake information regarding his age, family members, education and employment background and documents for joining the Party.
He was also found to have used money, personal connections and lobbying to “buy official positions and honorary titles along the way” and which enabled him to rise “from a private enterprise owner to a vice ministerial-level official,” according to the commission.
The statement said Lu had been simultaneously acting as an official and a businessman controlling multiple enterprises and had sought benefits for these enterprises by dishonest means.
He was also found to have offered significant amounts of money and gifts to state officials to obtain promotions to official positions and benefits in business operations.
The statement also accused Lu of resisting the investigation.
The commission said Lu’s values were “severely twisted” and his actions seriously violated the Party’s code of conduct and involved criminal acts.
Such acts tarnished the image and the personnel selection system of the Party and undermined the “political environment of related regions and units,” the commission said, noting that “the circumstances were serious.”
His honorary titles will be revoked and his suspected crimes and illegal gains transferred to judicial organs, according to the commission.
