Zhu Mingguo expelled from Party, office

Xinhua, February 17, 2015 Adjust font size:

Zhu Mingguo, former head of Guangdong political advisory body, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and dismissed from public office following an internal graft investigation, the country's discipline watchdog announced on Tuesday.

The CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said it found that Zhu sought profits for others and accepted huge bribes in selection of officials and enterprise management by taking advantage of his post.

The former chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was also found "seriously violating the family planning policy," according to the CCDI.

He is suspected of crimes including bribery. Endi
