Six high-profile state TV anchors in Shanghai have been suspended by their employers after they attended a recent birthday party for businessman Zhou Zhengyi following his early release from a 16-year jail term for bribery and embezzlement.
Zhou threw a lavish 60th-birthday bash at a five-star hotel on the Bund in Shanghai on April 23, which was attended by several presenters and hosts from state-run Dragon Television.
Video clips from the star-studded event went viral on social media platforms in China, showing Zhou roaming around the venue, taking photos with guests, in obviously high spirits.
All six presenters have now been suspended, RFA has learned.
A Chinese tycoon who served 13 years in prison for bribery and embezzlement and is still wanted by Hong Kong’s anti-corruption agency has taken a position as an adviser to a cosmetics and skincare products manufacturer in Shanghai, according to a news report.
Zhou Zhengyi, also known as Chau Ching-ngai, was sentenced in 2007 to 16 years in prison for his crimes but released early in August. He was once Shanghai’s wealthiest man and the 11th richest in mainland China, with an estimated fortune of US$320 million from property development and stock market speculation.
He is still wanted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Hong Kong for allegedly conspiring with others to defraud shareholders and making false statements, but the former British colony does not have an extradition deal to bring suspects from mainland China.
