Former senior Xinjiang lawmaker expelled from CPC

Xinhua, July 6, 2015 Adjust font size:

Li Zhi, a senior lawmaker of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC), the CPC's anti-corruption watchdog said on Monday.

Li, former deputy head of the standing committee of the Regional People's Congress of Xinjiang, was found "seriously violating discipline, faking personal record and cheating the organization with a wrong age," according to a statement from the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI).

He was also caught accepting monetary gifts, seeking benefits for others by taking advantage of his posts in fields such as official selection and enterprise management, and "asking for and accepting huge amount of bribes", the statement said.

Li also "seriously violated socialist morality and committed adultery," it said, adding he had tried to interfere with and hamper the investigation, and transfer and hide illicit funds and property. Endit
