Video shows court employees consorting with alleged prostitutes
Shanghai's top court suspended four judicial officials on Sunday amid allegations from an anonymous blogger that they patronized prostitutes.
The scandal came to light on Friday after the anonymous blogger, identified by two newspapers under the surname Ni, posted a video of a group of court officials arm-in-arm with female karaoke partners at a resort hotel on June 9. The blogger claimed five court officials later paid for prostitutes, though the Shanghai Disciplinary Commission said it is investigating four officials.
