BEIJING, Dec. 17 -- China's top procuratorate announced on Wednesday that prosecutors have brought charges against Liao Shaohua, a former senior Guizhou official, and Ji Jianye, former Jiangsu official, in two separate cases for alleged corruption.

The Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) said in a statement that it has designated the provincial procuratorate in Shaanxi to investigate the case of Liao, a former Standing Committee member of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Guizhou Provincial Committee and former party chief of Zunyi City in Guizhou.

After the investigation, the case was transferred to the municipal procuratorate in the city of Xi'an in Shaanxi to lodge the accusation. The case has been filed to the intermediate court of Xi'an.

Prosecutors accused Liao of suspected bribery for taking advantage of his position to seek profits for others and accepting huge amounts of money or gifts from others.

Moreover, Liao was charged with suspected power abuse due to an investigation that found he abused his power and caused huge losses to public property.

Also, the SPP announced that in another case, prosecutors brought charges against Ji Jianye, former mayor of Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, for accepting bribes.

Local prosecutors in the city of Yantai in Shandong Province filed Ji's case to the intermediate court in Yantai after the Shandong provincial procuratorate's investigation.

The SPP statement said both Ji and Liao have been properly informed of their rights in the procedures. Prosecutors interrogated the suspects and listened to opinions from their respective defenders.
