China's prosecutors handled 3,657 corruption cases, and 1,481 cases involving dereliction of duty and rights violations during the first quarter of 2013, the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) said today.

All these violations had directly infringed upon peoples' interests, according to an SPP statement, which added that 5,102 people as well as a total volume of 540 million yuan (USD 87.5 million) were involved in the corruption and bribery cases, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

The first three months saw 2,054 people found culpable of dereliction of duty or rights violations, including five municipal-level cadres.
