Yichang:Beijing Former senior Chinese official Ma Xingrui has been indicted on charges of accepting bribes, as announced by the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) on Thursday.

According to Namibia Press Agency, Ma Xingrui previously held positions as a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and served as the deputy head of the Leading Group for Rural Affairs of the CPC Central Committee.

Ma is accused of leveraging his past positions and the favorable conditions they provided to seek benefits for others, allegedly accepting extremely large amounts of money and valuables in return. The People's Procuratorate of Yichang in Hubei Province has been designated to handle the case following the SPP's order for Ma's arrest on bribery charges.

In July, Ma was expelled from the Communist Party and dismissed from public office due to serious violations of Party discipline and the law, as revealed by an earlier investigation.
