Su Shulin, governor of east China's Fujian Province, has been put under investigation for suspected serious disciplinary offenses, the top anti-graft authority said Wednesday.

Su, 53, is the first incumbent governor to be investigated since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, thepaper.cn said.

The CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection did not give further details about Su's suspected 'disciplinary violations'.

Su was chairman of China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation, or Sinopec Corp, before his appointment in Fujian.
