Third Official at Aviation Body Said to Become Target of Graft Inquiry

(Beijing) – A third official at the body that oversees the aviation industry has come under investigation, says a person close to the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), a sign that a large campaign against graft that started nearly three years ago is entering a new phase.

Xu Dong, who heads a trade union at the CAAC's Air Traffic Management Bureau, has not been seen at work since August 4, the day an inquiry into accusations he took bribes started, the source said.
