Exposing graft could get you rich

The incentive to fight corruption just got better. Blowing the lid off a scandal can now fetch you up to 200,000 yuan ($29,000), according to a new regulation released yesterday.

Whistleblowers will be entitled to 10 percent of the value of the properties that are expropriated in graft cases, said a revised work report released by the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP).

"Generally, the reward is expected to be under 100,000 yuan, but those who provide tip-offs that have a significant impact can be given up to 200,000 yuan," the report said.
