Zhang Tianfeng, the former deputy chief of China’s State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, has been formally indicted on corruption charges, as announced by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on Tuesday. The charges allege that Zhang exploited his influential positions within the tobacco industry to illicitly secure benefits for others, accepting substantial bribes and gifts in return. The case has been escalated to the Intermediate People’s Court of Ganzhou City in Jiangxi Province, marking a significant step in China’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign. This indictment underscores the government’s commitment to rooting out graft within its administrative ranks, particularly in sectors with substantial economic influence like the tobacco industry.
