A total of 2,108 law enforcers with China's court system were investigated and punished in 2014.

The Supreme People's Court (SPC) announced on Saturday that 180 cases had been handed over for judicial investigations.

Discipline inspectors also held 73 senior local court officials accountable for failures in supervision that led to these violations, the SPC said in a statement.

The inspectors in 2014 have intensified routine checks over the courts' judicial work and 1,206 enforcers were found to have conducted irregularity practices.

A total of 196 law enforcers were punished for using public funds for personal expenditure or personal use of public vehicles.
