Official corruption fighters in China, those working for the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), presented their accomplishments in 2014 and provided updates on actions taken against many corrupt officials, in a press conference on Jan. 7.
A total of 68 cases, either closed or currently under review, were announced by Huang Shuxian, deputy director of the CCDI and the head of the Ministry of Supervision.
The case against the biggest fish of all, former security chief Zhou Yongkang, has been sent to the judiciary organs—meaning the case has been submitted to the prosecutor’s office for the launch of criminal prosecution.
Nearly 6 months have passed since the state-run news agency Xinhua announced that Zhou was being investigated.
