A former top aide to disgraced domes- tic security boss Zhou Yongkang who once appeared on national TV to admit leadership mistakes has gotten into hot water with the Communist Party’s graft buster.
Zhou Benshun, a former party chief in Hebei province, has been charged with bribery by the Fujian provincial Xiamen city People’s Procuratorate, which has also prosecuted the case in the Xiamen city Intermediate People’s Court, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate revealed.
According to the indictment, while serving as the party chief in Shaoyang city in Hunan, Hunan provincial security chief, secretary general in Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the CPC Central Committee or party chief in Hebei, he used job convenience to benefit others and accepted their huge bribes.
Since November 2012, when the new leadership was elected, anti-corruption has become a top priority for the country and President Xi Jinping has launched a sweeping campaign to target both high and low-ranking officials, or “tigers and flies.”
To date, more than 140 high-ranking officials have been placed under investigation over alleged graft, including Zhou Yongkang, former security chief, who was sentenced to life in prison in June 2015.
