BEIJING, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- China's 3,205 county-level procuratorates investigated an annual average of more than 36,000 civil servants for suspected duty crimes, Procurator-General Cao Jianming said Tuesday.
In a report submitted to the ongoing bimonthly session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) which runs from Monday to Saturday, Cao said grassroots-level procuratorates have been active in fighting duty crimes and those crimes that undermine public interests and safety.
China currently has a total of 3,205 county-level procuratorates with around 176,600 procuratorial staff, accounting for 88 percent and 74 percent of the country's totals, respectively.
