A local procuratorate in south China's Guangdong Province said on Monday that the Party chief of Wukan Village has been detained for suspected bribe taking.
Lin Zulian, also head of Wukan Village, is suspected of taking bribes during the organization of bids for public projects since 2012, said the people's procuratorate in Lufeng City.
The procuratorate opened an official investigation on Friday following three months of initial investigation.
Prosecutors said the amount of bribes is substantial, without giving a specific figure.
