Prague, March 19 (CTK) – China Energy Company Limited (CEFC) board chairman Ye Jianming, an adviser of President Milos Zeman, is being investigated in China, Zeman’s spokesman Jiri Ovcacek told journalists today.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Representatives of Shanghai confirmed this to Czech Presidential Office head Vratislav Mynar.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The CEFC representatives said Ye would leave his post. Mynar and his Presidential Office team learnt this during their visit to China last week, Ovcacek said.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The investigation is not being conducted against the legal entity CEFC China, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“All the parties involved have agreed on the support for the projects of Czech-Chinese cooperation and of CEFC Europe projects with the framework of the One Belt One Road in the Czech Republic,” uvedl Ovcacek.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The representatives of the Presidential Office also met the board of the CEFC China. It told them that Ye would leave the shareholding structure and the board itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“CEFC still considers the development of its projects in the Czech Republic one of its priorities,” Ovcacek said.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ye Jianming was reportedly arrested in China in February. Neither CEFC nor the Chinese authorities have confirmed his detention officially. He is allegedly investigated on suspicion of a financial crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CEFC has chosen the Czech Republic as a centre for its European activities. It has also bought stakes in several Czech companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2015, Zeman appointed Ye Jianming as his special economic adviser. He still remains in this post and Zeman said he would take further steps after receiving official information from China only.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The CEFC group is running business mainly in the sectors of energy, finance and industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to its own data, this is the biggest private company in Shanghai and the seventh biggest in China.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
