CDIC Investigates Chinalco Head after Reports He Abused His Power

(Beijing) – The head of the state-owned Aluminum Corp of China (Chinalco) has been placed under investigation, and sources close to the matter say this comes after reports appeared he abused his power.

The Communist Party's graft buster, the Central Discipline Inspection Commission (CDIC), said on its website on September 15 that Sun Zhaoxu, Chinalco's president, is being probed for "serious violations of discipline," a phrase that often means corruption.
