“China’s top anti-corruption agency said on Monday that former justice minister Tang Yijun would be indicted on charges of corruption and misconduct after being investigated for taking bribes and abuse of power. Tang is accused of helping family members secure financial deals and accepting lavish gifts and travel expenses, in violation of the Communist Party’s code of conduct, according to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI). Tang, 63, allegedly sought to benefit others in personnel appointments by accepting bribes, used his position to help family members secure business contracts, and intervened in market activities and judicial matters, the CCDI said in a statement published on its website.” (10/08/24)
