Lavish wedding banquet lands cop in hot soup

A senior police officer in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, has come under fire for hosting a lavish wedding reception for his daughter at a five-star hotel, with netizens and local media wondering how a public servant can acquire so much money.

There were more than 110 tables full of wedding guests at the party, which was held in a 1,000-sq-m banquet hall in the Kempinski Hotel on Sunday.

The menu included shark fin, grouper and abalone.
