Court will target energy waste

More will be done over the next five years to combat crimes involving officials wasting energy and resources, the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) said yesterday.

Prosecutors will investigate job-related crimes that damage resources and the environment, and conduct synchronized investigations with other administrative departments on project-related major accidents, it said.

"Anyone found guilty of corruption or dereliction of duty will be punished," the latest measures released by the SPP for the implementation of its 2008-12 Work Plan to Establish a System to Strength the Punishment and Prevention of Corruption state.
