Former deputy head of China’s medical products regulator prosecuted for bribery

Chen Shifei, the former deputy head of China’s National Medical Products Administration, has been formally prosecuted on charges of bribery. The Second Branch of the People’s Procuratorate in Shanghai recently filed the lawsuit with the Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate People’s Court, as confirmed by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on Monday. This legal action follows a comprehensive investigation by the National Commission of Supervision into Chen’s alleged misconduct. Chen is accused of exploiting his official positions to grant undue advantages to others and accepting substantial bribes in the form of money and valuables. The case underscores China’s ongoing efforts to combat corruption within its regulatory bodies, reflecting the government’s commitment to maintaining integrity and accountability in public service.
