Anti-corruption official accused of insider trading

The wife of the embattled former publisher of Guangzhou Daily has leveled accusations at a local anti-corruption official involved in the indictment of her husband, who has denied all corruption charges against him in a court trial.

Yang Lanling, wife of former Guangzhou Daily publisher Dai Yuqing, accused Wang Xiaoling, head of the Party discipline inspection commission of Guangzhou and the top anti-corruption official in the South China metropolis, of having been involved in insider dealing on stock markets and of making profits of more than 70 million yuan ($11 million).

Yang said she hoped that anti-corruption authorities and relevant departments will launch an investigation, according to China Business News.
