Note:
(a) The first two paragraphs of the VOA report are as follows.
"香港人權民運信息中心星期二表示,中共中央前軍委副主席郭伯雄因涉嫌受賄而正在接受調查。
"法新社援引香港人權與民主信息中心的一份報告說,72歲的郭伯雄被懷疑收受賄賂,幫助他人晉升提級。報告說,中國實行“雙首長”制度,晉升軍銜必須得到兩位軍委副主席的同意,因此行賄的人一定要同時送兩份禮物。在今年6月,郭伯雄的同事前軍委副主席徐才厚因涉嫌受賄被開除黨籍,並且送交檢察機關進行處理。
(i) Oddly, the home page,
www.hkhkhk.com
, of Hong Kong-Based Information Center for Human Rights & Democracy 香港人權民運信息中心 appears to re-publish select news. The one stands out at the top is "人权信息中心指郭伯雄步徐才厚後尘接受调查 - 商业电台 8/12" whose source is unique: itself. However, the content of the item is suspiciously short. Probably due to its brevity, which I am sure can not be independently verified, VOA simply points out the source and gives a summary of the report.
(ii) Amazingly AFP writes a rather long news piece based on the note, but brings no new information to the table. See
Chinese ex-military leader under graft investigation, report says. AFP, Aug 12, 2014.
nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/world/24698822/chinese-ex-military-leader-under-graft-investigation-report-says/
It is 7 pm EDT, and the AFP news report was published 13 hours ago.
(b) "據香港《明報》7月9號報導,郭伯雄的兒子和兒媳已在7月初被軍隊紀律檢查人員帶走協助調查。"
