Prosecutor issues arrest warrant for ex-mayor of major city

China's Supreme People's Prosecutor's Office has issued an arrest warrant for former Chengdu mayor Wang Fengchao, who is suspected of taking bribes. This was reported on Thursday by the state news agency Xinhua.

Earlier, in June, Chinese anti-corruption authorities officially expelled Wang Fengchao from the ranks of the Chinese Communist Party and removed from all government posts.

The official is charged with serious violations of party discipline. He is also accused of violating national law.

The full-scale criminal prosecution of the ex-mayor of one of the largest megacities of China continues as part of a large-scale state campaign against corruption.
