China's Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) has accepted the case of a senior provincial official from the southwestern Guangxi region accused of taking bribes.
Yu Yuanhui, formerly one of the top members of Guangxi's Communist Party of China (CPC) committee, and Party chief of its capital city Nanning, has also been under "compulsory measures," according to an SPP statement released on Tuesday.
Such measures may include arrest, detention, issuing a warrant to compel a suspect to appear, bail pending trial, or residential surveillance.
The case is still under investigation, the SPP said.
The CPC announced on Friday that it had expelled Yu and removed him from public office for "serious disciplinary offences."
