 ZHENGZHOU, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- A former housing administration official in central China's Henan Province is under legal investigation1 for corruption2 after a whistle-blower exposed that his family owns 29 houses.

The procuratorate of Zhengzhou, capital of Henan, decided3 on Friday to investigate Zhai Zhenfeng, the former director of the housing administration bureau in Erqi district of the city.
A preliminary probe by the district government confirmed that Zhai's family owns 29 houses.
The whistle-blower said on his microblog account last week that Zhai's daughter owns 11 affordable4 houses and two ID cards. This sparked outrage5 online.
Last year, the whistle-blower accused Zhai of engaging in practices for his own personal gain such as buying affordable houses and selling them at a profit and acquiring properties for his son and daughter when he was the housing administration head.
In September 2011, Zhai was removed from his post by the local discipline inspection6 watchdog of Erqi district for a set of disciplinary offences, including seeking profits for his family.
The procuratorate of Zhengzhou said, based on the previous findings of Zhai's misconduct, he has violated the law and the case should be placed on file for investigation.
Zhai's case resembles that of Cai Bin7, an urban management official in southern Guangdong Province, who was dismissed from his post in October after online postings said he owned 22 houses.
Zhai and Cai are among a number of Chinese officials who have been targeted by the country's netizens and later investigated by disciplinary watchdogs.
Other officials include one who was found having at least 11 expensive wristwatches and another whose sex video with a woman was leaked to the Internet.
