A powerful Communist official in China is suspected to have received 13.5 tonnes of gold and £30 billion cash in bribes. Their value could be worth up to £520 million, according to international trading prices. In addition to the gold, inspectors discovered 268 billion yuan (£30 billion) in suspected bribes on the man's account, according to reports. He had equal power as the city's mayor, according to the ranking of Chinese Communist party officials.
