Embezzlement is most rife in the high technology, media, catering and logistics industries, according to statistics released by Haidian Procuratorate.

Among the 59 cases, which involve 76 people, the procuratorate handled in 2009, the four industries amassed more than 60 percent of the total.

"Technology and media are the most troublesome industries," said Zhang Chunyu, a prosecutor of the procuratorate.
