Summary
Former Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region CPPCC vice chairman Jin Zhizhen has been indicted on suspicion of accepting bribes, after the Supreme People's Procuratorate approved his arrest and prosecutors in Yueyang, Hunan, filed the case with the intermediate court.
The case was investigated by the National Commission of Supervision, and the Yueyang People's Procuratorate was responsible for reviewing and prosecuting it.
Prosecutors allege Jin used both his official authority and influence derived from his positions to secure benefits for others and illegally accepted property in especially large amounts.
Reports also say Jin, born in July 1970 in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, had worked in Xinjiang for many years and was removed from the Communist Party and public office in May after coming under investigation in November last year
Key Points
- The Supreme People's Procuratorate announced on Monday, the 24th, that Jin Zhizhen had been arrested on suspicion of bribery after the state supervision investigation concluded
- The Yueyang People's Procuratorate in Hunan recently filed a public prosecution with the Yueyang Intermediate People's Court over the bribery case.
- Prosecutors said the alleged bribes involved especially large amounts of property, and that Jin should be held criminally liable for bribery.
- The indictment says Jin exploited roles in regional planning, state-owned enterprises, Changji prefecture, Xinjiang's CPPCC, and the state assets regulator
- Jin was born in July 1970, is from Zhenjiang in Jiangsu, graduated from Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, and holds a master's in economics
Why It Matters
For Hong Kong readers following mainland official accountability cases, the prosecution shows the process moving from supervision and arrest to formal court action in another province.
It also underlines how bribery allegations can span a long career across government departments, state-owned enterprises and political advisory bodies, rather than a single post
