China’s top procuratorate orders arrest of former senior official of Guangxi

BEIJING, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) — The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) has ordered the arrest of Qin Rupei, former vice chairman of the people’s government of south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, for suspected bribe-taking.
Qin’s case was investigated by the National Commission of Supervision before being handed over to prosecutors, the SPP said in a statement on Monday.
Before his arrest, Qin had been expelled from the Communist Party of China and dismissed from public office for serious violations of Party discipline and laws. ■
