A former Politburo member of the Chinese regime has been indicted on bribery charges, according to state-run media, amid Beijing's purges that have reached a scale unseen in decades.
Ma Xingrui, 67, was accused of abusing his former positions at China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. in Guangdong Province and in the city of Shenzhen and as a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Politburo to secure benefits for others in exchange for bribes, state-run media outlet Xinhua reported, citing the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
Ma is among the most senior Party officials to have faced corruption charges in the CCP's deepening political cleansing.
