Four former senior officials charged with bribery in action against corruption

Four former senior officials have been charged with bribery and corruption by prosecutors, the Supreme People's Procuratorate said on Monday.

Le Dake, former deputy head of the Standing Committee of the Tibet autonomous region's People's Congress, has been charged with bribery by the Zhengzhou city people's procuratorate in Henan province, which will prosecute the case at Zhengzhou Intermediate People's Court. A date for the court hearing will be set later.

According to an indictment, when Le served as director of the autonomous region's State Security Bureau and head of regional legislature, he abused power to gain benefits for others and accepted huge bribes paid in cash or other assets.
