An anti-corruption official in Taizhou, Jiangsu has been allegedly claiming expenses for personal purchases including a vibrating condom, reports The Paper.
According to an insider who tipped off The Paper, the official, surnamed Luan, spent thousands on crabs and soft-shelled turtles and tens of thousands on T-shirts, which were all listed under government expenses. He also took 20 “business trips” within five months, while the RMB14,000 fares were “taken care of” by the travel sites themselves.
Luann, previously secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission in the county-level city of Jiangyan and current deputy secretary of the anti-graft watchdog in Taizhou, would spend thousands of RMB on crabs and soft-shelled turtles every time, both as gifts and for his own personal use.
Luan also claimed over RMB 10,000 on nine T-shirts, nominally for purchasing an outfit for a folk festival. Surprisingly, turns out that actually called for folk costumes and not brand-name shirts, the source surnamed Li told the reporter.
The apparently corrupt anti-corruption official also has a habit of claiming all entertainment expenses under the Discipline Inspection Commission’s tab. In 2011, he spent over RMB6,000 in a local four-star hotel on rooms, bar, sauna and, for some reason we can only imagine (but really, really don't want to), a tax payer-funded "vibrating condom."
When reached for comment, Luan said he did not spend all the money himself and it must be a smear job by someone whom he offended while faithfully performing “discipline inspection” work over the years.
According to a local government insider, the case is currently being investigated — by another upstanding anti-corruption official, presumably.
