BEIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) will strengthen prosecution of duty-related crimes and maintain the momentum of the crackdown on corruption in 2017, an official said.
Chen Guoqing, head of the public prosecution division of the SPP, said that the SPP will improve prosecution procedures and handle cases of duty-related crimes with higher standard and efficiency.
The SPP will take part in the campaign of locating officials who have fled overseas and recovering their ill-gotten gains, Chen said.
The SPP will continue to reform the trial-centered litigation system and improve the leniency system for those who confess to their crimes, Chen said.
Procuratorates at all levels have been urged to follow instructions by the SPP and perform their duty based on advanced science and technology, Chen added.
