A government trade association will auction two Beijing flats owned by the daughter of a former Shenyang mayor.

Mu Suixin, who was convicted of corruption-related crimes last year, is suspected of acquiring the apartments illegally.

The China Beijing Spring Season Trade Association will auction off the flats of Mu Suixin's daughter, Mu Yang.

The estimated auction price is 9,300 yuan (about HK$8,788) per square metre, an auction official said. Money raised will go to the police. The auction takes place on April 7 at the Guo Mao office-shopping complex in downtown Beijing.

The flats, on the eighth and 12th floors of the Danfo Haoyuan high-rise apartment building in the Asian Games Village area of Beijing, total 178.17 square metres, according to the Beijing Morning Post.

Ms Mu bought the flats in April 2000 for 3.38 million yuan, or 9,100 yuan per square metre, according to the Beijing newspaper.

The auction company's officials declined to say where the daughter lives now or whether she was evicted from either of the two flats to be sold.

Mr Mu stepped down in December because of his suspected ties to mobsters and for trading power for money, state media reported. He was sentenced to die, but received a two-year reprieve because he expressed regrets, according to China Daily.  Two other Shenyang officials were executed.
