Ex-China Shipbuilding Industry Corp (CSIC) executive Sun Bo has been arrested in China on suspicion of bribery and abusing powers.
The Xinhua news agency cited the Supreme People's Procuratorate as saying that the former general manager and deputy chief of the leading Party members' group at CSIC was held after the completion of a probe by the National Supervisory Commission.
The case has been handed to prosecutors for review.
In December, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) expelled Sun from public office and the Communist Party of China.
“Sun has arranged jobs for his relatives…he is suspected to have abused his power as an employee of a state-run company,” according to a web statement from the CCDI, the Communist Party’s organ responsible for investigating government and party officials for wrongdoings.
Sun had served in the triple position of general manager and director of CSIC and deputy secretary of its Party group since 2015, before coming under a CCDI investigation earlier this year.
Born in 1961, Sun was trained as an engineer at Dalian University of Technology and was awarded a doctor’s degree in designing and manufacturing marine structures.
He was promoted to a management role in CSIC in 2009 after spending much of his career with Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Corp (DSIC).
DSIC is a group subsidiary of CSIC, one of China’s two largest shipbuilding groups involved in both commercial and military shipbuilding.
