Anti-corruption Efforts Recover Billion More Yuan
Over the past five years, local procuratorates have recovered almost 1.3 billion yuan (US$157 million) from corrupt officials who abused their power for their own financial gain.

Wang Shuangjin, director of the anti-corruption bureau of the Beijing municipal procuratorate, disclosed the information during a recent interview with Xinhua.

According to the official, in 2002, the city set up a network aimed at dissuading officials from engaging in corrupt activities. The network has played an important role in detecting and interrupting crime through interdepartmental coordination.

In the first 11 months of 2002, local procurators handled 62 major corruption cases involving one million yuan or more (US$120,000), 79 cases related to government officials at the level of county magistrate, and 27 cases related to municipal officials.

Almost 170 million yuan (US$20.5 million) was recovered in these cases.
