Wang Dawei, former vice governor of northeast China's Liaoning Province and former police chief of Liaoning, on Thursday stood trial at a court in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, on a charge of
accepting bribes.
According to the prosecution filed by the people's procuratorate of Xiangyang, Wang took advantage of his various positions in the provinces of Heilongjiang and Liaoning between 2008 and 2022 to seek profits for others regarding matters including business operation, case handling and job promotion.
In return, Wang accepted money and valuables worth 555 million yuan (about 77.3 million U.S. dollars), according to prosecutors.
Wang pleaded guilty and expressed remorse at the court.
A verdict will be announced in due course.
