Shanghai Airport Authority boss under investigation for violating Party discipline and laws
Wu Jianrong, formerly an official of the Shanghai municipal government, is being investigated by an anti-corruption agency for undisclosed offenses
In the biggest scandal involving a Shanghai-based state-owned company boss in three years, Wu Jianrong, chairman of the Shanghai Airport Authority, has been placed under investigation for violating Party discipline and laws.
Wu, 56, a former deputy secretary general of the Shanghai municipal government, is being investigated by the Communist Party’s Shanghai commission for discipline inspection, the anti-corruption organisation said in a statement on Monday evening.
It did not specify any allegations of wrongdoing committed by Wu, whose agency operates both the Pudong and Hongqiao airports.
The anti-corruption watchdog said that Wu was suspected of not only violating Party discipline but also infringing upon Chinese laws.
Investigations by the disciplinary body into a senior official normally lead to corruption charges by police and prosecutors.
