Local official arrested for allegedly fabricating identity to obtain promotion

A former youth league official of north China's Shijiazhuang, capital city of Hebei Province, has been arrested for alleged falsification of identity for taking an official position, according to the provincial commission for discipline inspection.

Wang Yali, former deputy chief of the Shijiazhuang city committee of the Communist Youth League of China, was found to have fabricated her identity and age for a government job, according to the Hebei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The commission did not give any further details but said an initial investigation proved her guilty and many other people involved in the case were also under investigation and several of them have been referred to judicial departments.

Investigation of Wang was launched in February 2009, after the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China received a report of the case.

Wang was sacked from her post at the youth league in May last year.
