BEIJING, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Chen Jixing, former vice chairman of the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee, has been indicted on charges of taking bribes, according to the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) on Thursday.

Following the National Commission of Supervision's investigations, a procuratorate in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, filed Chen's case with the Intermediate People's Court of Guilin, the SPP said in a statement.

Prosecutors accuse Chen of taking advantage of his various posts to seek undue profits for others and accepting an especially large amount of money and valuables in return.

Prosecutors had informed the defendant of his legal rights and heard the opinions of the defense counsel, the SPP statement said.
