Fugitive ends life on the lam?

A total of 13 officials were named in the third round of exposure of corruption cases by the commission this year, according to a statement.

The commission ordered judicial branches at all levels to be fully aware of the harm corruption and undesirable work styles in the judicial sector cause, a statement said.

It stressed the significance and urgency of strengthening the anti-graft campaign and said they would maintain a severe crackdown on violations of the Party disciplines and the law.

Exposed cases include judicial officials accepting bribes, appropriating public funds, as well as assault. Some of the officials have been given jail terms, while others are awaiting trial.

Among the named officials, Zhou Jianming, a former member of the judicial committee of Northwest China's Shaanxi Provincial Higher People's Court, was suspected of receiving bribes totaling 1.69 million yuan ($277,000) in an office building construction project during his post as president of Ankang Municipal Intermediate People's Court between 2010 and 2012.

Zhou has been expelled from the Party and removed from office. He is now being processed in the judicial system.

Others include Pan Fan, a policeman in South China's Guangzhou suspected of demanding 5,000 yuan from a detainee's relative in April in order to help the detainee evade penalties. Pan has been sent to prosecutors.
