BEIJING, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- Luo Jiamang, former general accountant of China's biggest food trader COFCO, has been indicted on charges of accepting bribes, the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) said on Friday.

Luo's case has been investigated by the National Supervisory Commission. Upon the designation of the SPP, a procuratorate in the city of Handan, Hebei Province, reviewed the case and filed it in the city's Intermediate People's Court, said the SPP in a statement.

Luo, also a former member of COFCO's leading Party members' group, was accused of taking advantages of his multiple posts to embezzle public assets of large amounts and seek illegitimate benefits for others, and illegally accepting vast sums of money and gifts from others in return.

The SPP said the prosecutors had informed the defendant of his litigation rights, interrogated him and listened to the opinions of the defense counsel. Enditem
