The Hangzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate has filed a public prosecution with the Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court.

Feng was a member of the Party group and deputy governor of the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government.

The procuratorate informed the defendant Feng of his legal rights during review and prosecution, and interrogated the defendant and listened to the opinions of his defenders. 

The procuratorate said the defendant Feng abused his own powers and status for the benefit of others and illegally accepted the property of others. 

The amount was extremely large and, according to law, Feng should be investigated for criminally accepting bribes.

Feng has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and public office for multiple offenses, including "taking a huge amount of bribes," the CPC anti-graft body announced on March 31. 

Feng's expulsion from the CPC was approved by the CPC Central Committee, while his removal from public office was approved by the national supervisory commission, according to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The Supreme People's Procuratorate is the highest legal supervision organ of the People's Republic of China.
