Shanghai’s jailed top prosecutor ‘implicates 100 other officials in corruption case’
The former chief prosecutor of Shanghai who is serving a life sentence for bribery has implicated about 100 officials linked to his conviction, a source familiar with the case has told the South China Morning Post.
Once dubbed the “law manipulator of Shanghai”, Chen Xu was sentenced on October 25 after a court in Nanning, the capital of south China’s Guangxi region, found him guilty of taking money and property worth more than 74.2 million yuan (US$10.7 million) personally or through family members between 2000 and 2015.
His downfall came amid a crackdown on corruption by the Chinese leadership and many of those implicated by him are now under investigation.
