Former Liaoning police leaders admit corrupt behavior in TV series

In a television series that began airing over the weekend, three consecutive heads of the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Department discussed how they had engaged in corruption from 2002 to 2022, accepting bribes collectively exceeding 1.2 billion yuan ($170 million).

The three abused their authority, interfered with judicial and law enforcement proceedings, colluded with unscrupulous business owners and, in one case, even sold official job positions.

The four-episode anti-corruption special began airing on CCTV-1 on Saturday night, with the first episode titled Resolving Unique Challenges, and will conclude on Tuesday.
