Zhou Jiankun, former vice chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, is being prosecuted for accepting bribes, according to a statement from the Supreme People's Procuratorate. This was reported by The Xinhua News Agency.

Zhou's case has been filed by prosecutors of southwest China's Chongqing Municipality to the city's intermediate people's court, following the conclusion of a National Commission of Supervision probe.

He is accused of taking advantage of his various former positions in Guizhou to seek profits for others, the statement said, noting that he accepted a particularly large amount of money and valuables in return.

The prosecutors informed the defendant of his litigation rights, questioned him, and listened to the opinions of the defense counsel.
