\nChina is preparing to establish a \u2018super\u2019 anti-graft bureau that will investigate high-ranking officials suspected of corruption, Procurator-General Cao Jianming said in an interview with the China Daily newspaper.<\/p>\n
\tThe plan for the bureau has already been approved by the central government, said Mr Cao, who heads the country\u2019s Supreme People\u2019s Procuratorate.<\/p>\n
\tThe new bureau will be staffed by several dozen experienced senior prosecutors and will strengthen the Supreme People\u2019s Procuratorate\u2019s anti-corruption capacities, officials told China Daily.<\/p>\n
\tThe bureau will first investigate suspects of corruption before their cases are passed to procuratorates, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n
\tThe high-level office will merge with existing bodies and be established at vice-ministerial level, a higher level than a regular bureau, according to officials from the Supreme People\u2019s Procuratorate. But they said it might take several months to hammer out the details before the bureau can be set up.<\/p>\n
\tA number of reports have suggested that the corruption crackdown in mainland China is likely to be the main driver of the decline in gaming revenue in Macau since June last year.<\/p>\n
\tBeijing\u2019s plan to set a new high-level anti-corruption office was first mentioned late last year. The move was seen as an \u201cinstitutionalisation of the anti-corruption drive,\u201d consultancy Union Gaming Research Macau Ltd said in a note in November.<\/p>\n
\tOn Sunday, China\u2019s Premier Li Keqiang told reporters that corrupt officials would be held accountable for incompetence or inaction. A national anti-corruption campaign has \u201cyielded good results,\u201d he said at his annual nationally televised briefing at the close of the 12th National People\u2019s Congress in Beijing.<\/p>\n
\tLi Gang, director of the Central People\u2019s Government Liaison Office in Macau, last week had said measures were in place to monitor government officials who head for Macau to gamble.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cBecause of measures taken by Macau\u2019s gambling industry, if such officials go gambling in Macau, they will be discovered,\u201d Li Gang told the Beijing News.<\/p>\n
