(35 minutes later)
A former deputy police chief in Chongqing, Tang Jianhua, has been placed under detention in the Communist Party’s disciplinary system for taking nearly $3 million in bribes, according to an article on Monday in the online version of People’s Daily, the official mouthpiece of the party. Mr. Tang was a close associate of Wang Lijun, the former Chongqing police chief who had a falling out with Bo Xilai, the disgraced Communist aristocratic politician. Mr. Wang was sentenced last year to 15 years in prison for various crimes, and Mr. Bo awaits trial. Mr. Tang was detained last year after the fall of both of those men. Mr. Tang received an award on Feb. 28, 2010, for his role in the “strike black” campaign, a drive led by Mr. Wang that ended up with many innocent civilians under detention and being tortured. Mr. Tang was promoted to deputy police chief after receiving the award.
