The Ministry of Civil Affairs, which runs the Welfare Lottery, said both officials were suspected of corruption following an investigation made by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI).
Chinese authorities find out that Bao used his position to seek material benefits, accept gifts and have “improper sexual relations,” while Wang was found guilty of the same crimes, as well as for resisting the investigation against him and on suspicion of leaking state secrets, the CCDI said.
Earnings from the lotteries are supposed to be funnelled back into social welfare and sporting projects, though it has long been suspected that a portion of the profits are pocketed by corrupt officials.
Since assuming power in late 2012, President Xi Jinping has pursued a relentless campaign against corruption, warning that the problem could threaten the party’s ability to retain power if left unchecked.
