BEIJING - A former senior procurator in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region is on trial for alleged corruption.

Wang Xiuchun, formerly chief of the Hinggan League People's Procuratorate of Inner Mongolia, is charged with taking about one million yuan ($162,700 dollars) in bribes and embezzling public funds worth 100,000 yuan.

His conduct has caused huge losses to public interests, said the Bayannur City Intermediate People's Court, which opened the trial on Tuesday.

Wang was placed under investigation in 2013.

A verdict will be announced later.
