The president of a city court in northeast China's Liaoning province has been placed under investigation, the province's commission for discipline inspection said Tuesday.

Song Jingchun, president of the Anshan Municipal Intermediate People's Court, is suspected of "seriously violating discipline and laws," the commission said in a statement.

Song is the second senior law officer put under investigation in Liaoning Province in a month.

Li Wei, president of the Intermediate People's Court in Dalian, was put under investigation in July.
