China's top procuratorate approves arrest of Luo Yulin

China's top procuratorate said that it has approved the arrest of Luo Yulin, a former deputy minister-level official of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, for suspected bribery.

The Supreme People's Procuratorate disclosed the information via its website on Tuesday, adding that the case is still being further investigated.

Luo, 65, a native of Henan province, was under disciplinary and supervisory investigation in May for suspected serious violations of laws and regulations.

In November, Luo was expelled from the Communist Party of China.
