In November 2019, Qin Guangrong, the former provincial governor of Yunnan province and a former senior national legislator, was charged with bribery by prosecutors in Chengdu.
A joint statement issued by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission stated that Qin and his family took advantage of his position to seek personal gains. He accepted expensive gifts and lavish vacations offered by private enterprises and intervened in the transfer of mineral resources.
Qin turned himself in to the investigating authorities – an act that entitled prosecutors to recommend leniency for his punishment under the National Supervision Law.
