The discipline inspection commission of Yuncheng, Shanxi province has been informed of a woman official allegedly using two different household registration cards, as well as helping her father-in-law, a retired official, to buy more than 10 houses.
Beijing Times reported that Zhang Yan had been revealed to authorities by online whistleblowers for having household registration cards registered in Beijing and in Xiaxian county of Yuncheng city, under different names. The cards' identify photos were identical, the report said.
Whistle blowers said Zhang's husband Sun Hongjun was the head of police in Xiaxian county, before being discharged in 2011 for abusing power.
They had claimed that the two household registration cards were used to cover some of the properties that belong to her husband and her father-in-law, Sun Taiping, a former director of the finance department of Yuncheng.
Sun allegedly owns at least 11 houses in various cities, including two in Beijing, which online whistleblowers said would be beyond the means of an official on his salary.
The paper reported that Yuncheng discipline inspection commission confirmed that Zhang Yan is a staff member there, but didn't know about her dual identities.
