Former Shanghai lawmaker indicted

Dong Yunhu, a former senior legislator in Shanghai, has been indicted on bribery charges, the Supreme People's Procuratorate said on Wednesday. Following the completion of investigations by the National Commission of Supervision, the people's procuratorate in Hefei, Anhui province, filed Dong's case to the city's intermediate people's court, the top procuratorate said. Dong was a former secretary of the leading Party members' group of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress and former chairman of the committee. Prosecutors accused Dong of taking advantage of his various posts and abusing his power to seek illicit gains for others, while illegally accepting a huge amount of money and valuables in return.
