Former Top City Prosecutor Booted From Communist Party on Graft Charges

What’s new: Zhao Jianwei, former chief prosecutor of Dalian, Northeast China’s Liaoning province, has been expelled from the Communist Party for serious violations of duty and alleged bribery, as the country ramps up its efforts to wipe out corruption in the judiciary.

Zhao’s wrongdoings included faking a divorce, using at least one of his former positions to benefit his wife’s business, as well as allowing his wife to use his influence for personal gain, the Liaoning provincial graft buster said in a statement Monday.
