BEIJING -- Luo Zengbin, a former senior official of South China's Hainan province, has been indicted on charges of accepting bribes, according to the Supreme People's Procuratorate on Wednesday.

Luo was formerly a member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and secretary of the CPC municipal committee of Haikou, Hainan's capital city.

Luo is accused of taking advantage of his various posts in Sichuan province and Hainan province to seek benefits for others, while illegally accepting "extremely huge" amounts of money and gifts in return.

The case has been filed by the People's Procuratorate of Chenzhou City, Central China's Hunan province, to the city's intermediate people's court.
