Trials reveal tale of 'boiling a frog'

CHONGQING: The continuing trials of six top police officials who allegedly protected mafia-style gangs and accepted exorbitant amounts of bribes were called examples of "boiling a frog".

When giving his final statement late Monday, Peng Changjian, former deputy director of the municipal public security bureau, became emotional and burst into tears six times.

He said: "My corruption is similar to a frog being boiled to death in warm water."
