Probed official said to have 6 mistresses

Ma Jian, former vice-minister of State security, reportedly has been found to have six mistresses and two illegitimate children, two months after the country's top anti-graft body announced an investigation into his alleged corruption.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced on Jan 16 that it had launched an investigation into Ma, 59, for suspected serious violation of discipline and laws.

The latest issue of news magazine Caixin disclosed that Ma could have six villas in Beijing, along with six mistresses and two illegitimate sons, as the corruption investigation uncovers more details of his extravagant lifestyle.
