Former Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongxin charged in China with embezzlement, bribery, and misusing funds; case sent to trial.
On March 20, 2026, China’s Xinxiang Municipal People's Procuratorate filed public charges against Shi Yongxin, former abbot of the Shaolin Temple, accusing him of embezzlement, misappropriation of funds, bribery, and offering bribes.
The 60-year-old, who led the temple since 1999, was arrested in November 2025 following a probe into financial misconduct and personal conduct.
His case, linked to broader reforms in religious oversight, has drawn national attention amid calls for stricter separation between religious institutions and commercial ventures.
The case has been sent to trial.
