Chongqing pledges thorough probe into official's sex tape scandal

CHONGQING, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- Authorities on Monday pledged a thorough investigation into the sex tape scandal that has led to the removal of a senior official in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.

The Chongqing Municipal Committee for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China said it will not tolerate officials' misconduct, each of the reported cases will be investigated and each official involved will be punished.

Lei Zhengfu, the top official of a district in Chongqing, was removed from his post last week after an investigation by the Chongqing Municipal Committee for Discipline Inspection confirmed that he was the man featured in a sex tape widely circulated online.

The discipline watchdog's pledge came as media reports said a whistleblower in the case alleged that he had video footage of five other senior officials in Chongqing also engaged in sexual acts.

But the city's discipline watchdog said it had not formally received these allegations or the footage by early Monday.
