Ex-China Communist party leader Sun Zhigang accused of bribery
Former secretary of the Communist Party of China Guizhou Provincial Committee, Sun Zhigang, has been indicted on charges of bribery, according to the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on Wednesday.
Mr Zhigang was also formerly the deputy head of the Financial and Economic Affairs Committee of the National People’s Congress.
Following the National Commission of Supervision’s investigations, a procuratorate in Tianjin Municipality filed Mr Zhigang’s case with the Second Intermediate People’s Court of Tianjin, the SPP said in a statement.
Prosecutors accused Mr Zhigang of using his various posts to seek undue profits for others and accepting an especially large amount of money and valuables in return.
Prosecutors had informed the defendant of his legal rights and heard the opinions of the defence counsel, the SPP statement said.
