Police chiefs suspected of links to crime gang

BEIJING - Two police chiefs in East China's Shandong province are being investigated for alleged involvement with a criminal gang of more than 130 gangsters, media reports said.

Yu Guoming, head of Shibei sub-bureau of Qingdao public security bureau, and Feng Yuexin, head of the Licang sub-bureau, are said to be under investigation for allegedly having connections with 44-year-old Nie Lei, whose criminal gang of more than 130 members was destroyed by the police in September 2010, an unnamed official from Shandong provincial public security department told the Shanghai-based Oriental Morning Post.

The report failed to specify what kind of role the two police chiefs played in the criminal group.
