SHENZHEN’S top law official is under investigation for suspected serious violations of discipline, the provincial Party discipline watchdog said in a statement on its official website Friday.

    No details were given about the case of Jiang Zunyu, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Shenzhen Committee and Party secretary of the Commission for Political and Law Affairs of the CPC Shenzhen Committee since January 2013.

    Graduating from a military college in Xi’an in 1983, Jiang, born in 1957 and a native of Jiangsu Province, had worked in Shenzhen for 31 years before he was placed under investigation.

    He was vice secretary general of the Shenzhen Municipal Government between 2001 and July 2005, and worked as Party chief and director of Shenzhen Water Resources Bureau from July 2005 to August 2009.

    He became Party chief of the CPC Longgang District Committee in October 2009, a vacancy left by Yu Weiliang, who was fired for corruption.

    In 2010, Jiang became a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Shenzhen Committee, while he continued working as head of the Longgang District Party committee.

    In 2013, Jiang was appointed as head of the Political and Law Affairs Commission of the Shenzhen CPC Committee.

    Jiang’s last appearance in public was attending an academic meeting of the Shenzhen Law Forum on Oct. 11.
