On October 16, the Shandong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision announced that, with the approval of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, they have initiated an investigation into Su Jinsen, the former Party Secretary and Chief Prosecutor of the Jining City People’s Procuratorate, for serious violations of discipline and law.

According to the investigation, Su Jinsen has lost his ideological conviction and deviated from his original mission. He is accused of being duplicitous and deliberately resisting organizational scrutiny. He disregarded central guidelines, violated regulations by accepting gifts and attending banquets that could compromise the impartial execution of his duties. Additionally, he failed to report his whereabouts as required, violated integrity rules by seeking personal gain while holding a public office, and interfered in market activities and judicial processes.

Moreover, he allegedly occupied collective land without legal authorization to build residential properties, misusing public authority for personal benefit and engaging in corrupt practices by trading power for money. He leveraged his position to assist others in securing contracts and favorable outcomes in cases, reportedly receiving significant illicit financial gains.

Su’s actions constitute severe violations of the Party’s political, organizational, integrity, operational, and lifestyle disciplines, as well as national laws and regulations. His continued misconduct post-18th National Party Congress indicates a serious nature of wrongdoing with significant adverse impact, necessitating stringent consequences.

Consequently, following discussions at the Shandong Provincial Commission’s Standing Committee Meeting and subsequent approval from the Provincial Party Committee, it was decided to expel Su from the Party, dismiss him from public office, revoke his qualifications as a delegate to the 14th Party Congress in Jining, rescind any honors awarded to him, confiscate his illicit gains, and refer his suspected criminal activities to the prosecutorial authorities for legal examination and prosecution, along with the associated assets.
