BEIJING, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- Peng Guofu, a former senior legislator in central China's Hunan Province, has been indicted for suspected bribe-taking, the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) said on Tuesday.

Prosecutors accused Peng, former vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial People's Congress, of having taken advantage of his positions to benefit others while accepting huge amounts of money and property in return.

Following the conclusion of an investigation by the National Commission of Supervision and designated by the SPP, a procuratorate in Hainan Province recently filed a lawsuit against Peng with the provincial first intermediate people's court, according to the SPP. ■
