Policies aim to curb judicial corruption

The Ministry of Justice announced measures to fight judicial corruption, especially regarding reduced sentences, probation and noncustodial sentences.

The measures will "effectively curb correctional officers' misconduct and corruption involving bribery", said Vice-Minister of Justice Zhang Sujun.

The move follows a case in February when the Supreme People's Procuratorate started extradition procedures against Zhang Hai, former president of beverage maker Jianlibao Group.
