The Shenzhen-based firm said in a post on its social media network WeChat that events covered more than 70 cases and spanned sectors as broad as live streaming, advertising, and video games, and that it had charged more than 10 individuals to law authorities.

 

The announcement comes after Pony Ma, the founder of Tencent, stated in a town hall last month that major “corruption” concerns had been detected within the firm and that incompetence was diminishing the firm’s vitality.

 

For the majority of the last few years, Tencent has released a yearly report detailing the number and specifics of bribery incidents discovered within the firm. This has been carried out to encourage good transparency. These incidents often include bribery, theft, and cooperation.

 

In the most severe case publicly disclosed on Monday, Tencent stated that a person had taken money from some other firm and had subsequently been granted a three-year prison term. Prison sentences were also issued in six additional cases that were reported.

 

 

“There is an increase in the number of cases and people involved this year as compared with 2021,” the firm said. “Tencent’s anti-cheating investigation department has taken stronger measures against these internal issues such as corruption and cheating.”

 

Tencent made public over 70 staff terminations as a consequence of more than 50 corruption allegations in January of last year.
