Tianjin police chief detained by CCDI for alleged corruption
Wu Changshun held after anti-graft team says it found evidence of rampant problems in the city, including in the state-owned sector
The head of the police in Tianjin has been detained for suspected corruption.
The Communist Party's anti-graft agency said yesterday that Wu Changshun (pictured) has been held for suspected serious violations of law and party discipline, a phrase often used to refer to corruption.
Wu is also a deputy chairman of the municipality's political advisory body.
No other details were given about the allegations against Wu.
He made his last public appearance on July 11 when he took part in a live two-hour radio programme in Tianjin, answering questions about security, household registration and transportation, Xinhua reported.
Two days prior, the party's anti-graft agency published a report on the city, with inspectors highlighting "rampant corruption" within state-owned companies as well as the construction sector.
Inspectors said they had discovered growing problems of "procrastination and passive attitudes" among officials and flagged up concerns over cadres' appointments and other issues.
