陈希同
Chen's Vice Mayor, Wang Baosen, died by suicide in 1994, which led to a confrontational power struggle between the "Beijing clique" and the "Shanghai clique". It was later stated that the money that Chen embezzled was used to build vacational recreation centers, which catered to most top-tier politicians in Beijing at the time. Chen was also accused of having an extramarital affair with He Ping. In 1998, Chen Xitong was given a 16-year jail sentence on charges of corruption and dereliction of duty. His son, Chen Xiaotong, was also sentenced for 12 years. Chen left Qincheng Prison in 2006 under probation, officially due to reasons of ill health.
