Li Xiangang, the former vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the Heilongjiang Provincial People's Congress, has been accused of taking bribes and embezzling funds. The Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) announced the charges on Wednesday.
The Dalian Municipal People's Procuratorate in Liaoning province filed the case with the city's intermediate people's court. The charges stem from an investigation conducted by the National Commission of Supervision.
According to the SPP, Li allegedly abused his positions in Heilongjiang to provide benefits to others in exchange for substantial bribes. The specific details of the alleged crimes have not been made public.
Li's case is the latest in a series of high-profile corruption investigations targeting officials in China. The Chinese government has vowed to crack down on corruption, which is seen as a major threat to the country's stability and economic development.
