Lawyers for Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao’s family have rejected New York Times claims that they have amassed “hidden riches” of billions of dollars.
In a statement carried by Hong Kong media, they said that while some of the family were involved in business activities none of it was illegal, BBC reports.
The US newspaper reported on Friday that Mr Wen’s family controlled assets worth at least $2.7bn (£1.7bn).It responded to the statement on Sunday, saying it stood by the story.
China has condemned the report as a smear, and NYT sites are blocked in the country, as are references to the report on micro-blogging sites.
