Govt to share more details of probes

The government will notify the public promptly about how it will handle assets confiscated from corrupt officials, according to an annual report on the country's Rule of Law released by Chinese Academy of Social Sciences on Wednesday.

In addition, the report said, when an official is placed under investigation on suspicion of graft, the authorities will share the progress of the probe with the public in a timely manner.

Anti-corruption authorities will publicize what assets have been seized, including cash, houses and securities or other business investments, and how they intend to dispose of any illicitly acquired funds to avoid confusion in accounting.
