A former Chinese justice minister who took a hard line on law enforcement admitted accepting bribes totalling over 117 million yuan ($17.3 million), a Chinese court said on Thursday.
A former Chinese justice minister has admitted to taking bribes worth millions, and expressed remorse.
He was also accused of using his authority as then director of Beijing's public security bureau, to conceal clues about suspected crimes committed by his brother. The trial of Fu Zhenghua, 67, began on Thursday at the Changchun Intermediate People's Court in the northeastern province of Jilin, more than three months after the former official was arrested on suspicion of accepting bribes and"bending the law for personal gain".The arrest and trial of Fu, once a rising star in law enforcement, followed a probe launched last year by China's top anti-graft watchdog, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
