Chinese Communist Party leaders agreed to investigate retired Politburo Standing Committee member Zhou Yongkang on corruption allegations, the South China Morning Post reported, citing people it didn’t identify.
The leaders made the decision because of rising anger inside the party at the scale of corruption and the vast fortune amassed by Zhou’s family, the report said. The probe will examine if Zhou and his family benefited from oil and property deals facilitated by people including his son, Zhou Bin, according to the report.
