BEIJING – Chinese officials announced Tuesday that corruption charges have been filed against a high-ranking former securities official.
Wang Jianjun, who previously held the deputy leadership role at China’s securities watchdog agency, now faces bribery allegations, according to the state-run Xinhua news service.
Government investigators concluded that Wang exploited his official position and authority to “secure benefits,” Xinhua reported in its Tuesday announcement.
The prosecution represents the latest development in China’s ongoing efforts to root out corruption among government and regulatory officials.
