Former senior legislator, Party chief of Yunnan arrested for taking bribes

BEIJING - Qin Guangrong, a former senior national legislator and former Party chief of Southwest China's Yunnan province, has been arrested for suspected bribe taking, the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) said Friday.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the National Supervisory Commission (NSC) announced in May that Qin was under investigation. He was expelled from the CPC for multiple violations in September.

The NSC has completed the investigation into his case and handed it over to prosecuting agencies, the SPP statement said.
