SHANGHAI: China’s anti-corruption watchdog, Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), said it would prosecute Nur Bekri over allegations of graft during his time as governor of Xinjian.

Nur, one of the highest-ranking ethnic Uighur officials, obstructed an investigation launched in September. The CCDI has alleged him of failing to tell the truth.

Nur, holding the second-highest position of power in the western region, was governor of Xinjiang between 2008-2014.

The CCDI said Nur ‘took advantage of his position’ to obtain a huge amount of wealth.

The anti-corruption body has also alleged him of receiving bribes. (Agencies)
