The investigation of Lin Zulian, former Party chief of Wukan village in Shanwei city, Guangdong province, is continuing after Lin admitted to have taken commissions for the construction of a rubber running track at his village school.
Lin, 72, was detained on June 17 for allegedly using his power for personal gain and accepting large sums of bribes when he was in office.
After Lin was detained, he admitted to having taken bribes in land sales and construction projects, including commissions valued at 80,000 yuan ($12,300) in the construction of a rubber running track at his village school.
According to public procurators, Lin once leased more than 20 hectares of land in his village at a very low price without any discussion with other village officials and representatives.
Initial investigations have indicated that Lin had accepted bribes valued between 500,000 ($74873) and 600,000 yuan ($89847).
Some have accused Lin of stirring up the issue among villagers to make it seem like he is being used as a framed scapegoat.
The Shanwei intermediate people's procuratorate is investigating further.
