Security fund scandal 'not yet over'

The social security fund scandal that toppled Shanghai's most powerful ex-official has yet to conclude despite those involved having been brought to justice, Yu Zhengsheng, the city's Party chief, said yesterday.

The scandal led to the sacking and arrest of former Party chief Chen Liangyu on charges of misusing 3.4 billion yuan ($480 million) of public money, and the downfall of a long list of other officials and businessmen.

"It's too early to say the case has been concluded as Chen's trial is still pending," Yu said at a Q&A session during the ongoing NPC session.
