PETALING JAYA: A once senior Chinese law enforcement official was ejected from the Communist Party yesterday amid a torrent of graft investigations.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Sun Lijun was involved in a proposal by the Chinese government to help a former Malaysian prime minister by offering to monitor WSJ reporters who were investigating the politician’s ties to 1MDB.

Sun, during his tenure as vice-minister of public security, had wide-ranging connections throughout the legal system, including with a senior Chinese police official who went from being president of Interpol to now serving a 13-year sentence in China for accepting bribes.

Internal investigators, who in April 2020 alleged that Sun was under probe, now accuse him of numerous personal, financial and political improprieties.
