Lei Zhengfu

雷政富 (Léi Zhèngfù): Lei Zhengfu

The latest scandal to hit Chongqing after the purging of Bo Xilai involved Lei Zhengfu, a district party secretary.

Secretary Lei was fired after a secretly-filmed sex tape showing him and a young woman went viral, and his plump, bug-eyed face became the butt of numerous Internet caricatures.

The woman in the video was apparently hired by a local real-estate developer to blackmail Lei into doling out valuable plots of land.

The Communist Party has been trying to rebuild its image after a series of sex scandals.
