China will prosecute a former vice-chairman of China’s top parliamentary advisory body for graft, including taking bribes and selling “ranks and titles”, the government said on Monday, the latest senior figure to fall in a deepening anti-corruption campaign.
Su Rong had been one of the 23 vice-chairmen of the largely ceremonial but high-profile Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference until authorities began an investigation last year.
Su abused his power over personnel appointments and the operation of unidentified companies and took “an enormous amount of bribes”, said the ruling Communist Party’s graft-fighting Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
He “abused his power and caused great losses to state assets”, it said in a statement, without providing details.
“As a senior party official, Su Rong disregarded the party’s political rules … wantonly sold ranks and titles, led the official ranks astray and damaged the atmosphere in society,” the statement said.
His influence was “abominable” and he had been officially stripped of his title and expelled from the party, it said.
Details of Su’s case have been handed to judicial authorities, it said, and he will face prosecution in court.
Su previously served as Communist Party boss for the poor inland provinces of Jiangxi and Gansu.
