Yin Jianye, former vice-chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, has been indicted on charges of accepting bribes, the Supreme People's Procuratorate said on Monday.
Prosecutors in Zhangzhou, Fujian province, recently filed an indictment against Yin with the Zhangzhou Intermediate People's Court following an investigation by the National Commission of Supervision.
The Supreme People's Procuratorate had ordered Yin's arrest on suspicion of accepting bribes and designated the Zhangzhou People's Procuratorate to handle the prosecution.
Prosecutors alleged that Yin had taken advantage of his positions, including deputy secretary-general of the Yunnan provincial government, director of the Yunnan provincial audit office, Party secretary of Dali Bai autonomous prefecture, vice-governor of Yunnan and Jiangxi provinces, and secretary of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the Communist Party of China Jiangxi Provincial Committee, as well as the influence derived from his authority and status, to seek benefits for others and illegally accept money and valuables in an exceptionally large amount.
Prosecutors said Yin should be held criminally responsible for accepting bribes. During the review for prosecution, they informed him of his legal rights, questioned him and heard from his defense counsel.
Yin, 62, a native of Yunnan province, joined the CPC in June 1985 and began his career in July 1986. He spent nearly three decades working in Yunnan, holding senior positions including director of the provincial audit office, Party secretary of Dali and vice-governor.
He moved to Jiangxi in 2015, serving as vice-governor before becoming a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Jiangxi Provincial Committee and secretary of its commission for political and legal affairs. In 2022, he was appointed vice-chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the CPPCC.
Yin was placed under investigation in December 2025 on suspicion of serious violations of Party discipline and national laws. He was expelled from the CPC and dismissed from public office in June 2026.
In a statement issued at the time, anti-corruption authorities said Yin had sought political patronage, obstructed investigations and failed to truthfully explain matters during organizational inquiries.
He had also improperly borrowed vehicles from individuals under his supervision, accepted banquets, travel and golf arrangements that could affect the impartial performance of his duties, and frequented private clubs. He used his influence to seek job transfers and promotions for his wife and others.
Yin was also found to have improperly accepted gifts and money, engaged in illicit exchanges involving power, money and sex, gambled with individuals under his supervision, and improperly interfered in law enforcement activities.
