Probe of judge for corruption raises concerns over influence

Judicial corruption has aroused the public's attention and become a concern once again with the investigation of a judge on suspicion of violations and breaching of discipline.

Li Wei, president of Dalian Intermediate People's Court in Liaoning province, is being investigated for alleged serious disciplinary violations, the provincial discipline inspection commission confirmed on its website on Monday.

Wang Yanshu, a resident of Dalian, said she was relieved to hear that Li was being investigated and that her frequent reports had finally brought results.
