Compromised justice

The recent high-profile case in Southwest China's Chongqing municipality calls for closer scrutiny of our judicial and law enforcement teams.

Wen Qiang, director of the Chongqing municipal judicial bureau and former deputy director of the Chongqing public security bureau, was arrested on charges of serving as a "protective umbrella" for local gangs.

In fact, a total of 1,544 suspected gang leaders and members, and 50 government officials accused of corruption were nabbed during the last two months of raids on the Chongqing underworld.
