On October 14, reports from the Supreme People’s Procuratorate of China revealed that Liu Kegong, a former external director of Jinneng Holding Group Co., Ltd., is facing allegations of bribery. The case has been assigned to the Shuozhou People’s Procuratorate by the Shanxi Provincial People’s Procuratorate, and it has been formally prosecuted to the Intermediate People’s Court of Shuozhou. The investigation into the matter is ongoing.

During the prosecution review stage, the procuratorial authorities informed Liu Kegong of his legal rights and questioned him in accordance with the law, while also considering the opinions of his defense counsel. The Shuozhou People’s Procuratorate claims that from 2006 to 2017, Liu Kegong exploited his positions as the manager of the Wangzhuang Coal Mine and as the deputy general manager of Shanxi Lu’an Group to facilitate benefits for others in the areas of coal resource integration and payment for integration funds. He allegedly solicited and illegally accepted significant amounts of money and property, which has resulted in formal charges of bribery against him.
