A senior official in Chongqing is being probed for serious discipline and law violations by the country's anti-corruption authorities.
Tan Xiwei, 59, the deputy director of the Chongqing Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee, is the first provincial-level official from Chongqing to be investigated for graft since November 2012, when the Party's new leadership began an anti-graft campaign.
The investigation was announced on Saturday by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party, the Party's top anti-graft watchdog. No further details were provided.
