Tianjin Procuratorate Chief To Be Prosecuted – Xian Hui

From Yulun Jiandu, translated by CDT:

It has been learned from some of Tianjin‘s government agencies that Li Baojin, chief of Tianjin’s Procuratorate, has been ordered to self-report his corruption issues at a specified time and a specified place, or shuang gui in Chinese. There has been no official confirmation of the news or explanation of why Li is being investigated.

In 2005, Li published an article in Tianjin’s press entitled “Pushing forward anti-corruption with legal supervision and media check.” In the article, he enumerated measures taken by his agency to promote openness and fairness of procuratorate work and law enforcement.

The reporter, after looking into corruption within the city’s procuratorate agency, learned of a case where a procuratorate branch cut slack on criminals even though they had solid evidence against them. The reporter then published an article online criticizing Li and his writing. Readers over the Internet caught on and ridiculed the official, who started his career in the city’s public security bureau and later joined the procuratorate system. [Full Text]
