1st LD-Writethru: CPC expels murder suspect former police chief

Xinhua, July 31, 2015 Adjust font size:

Zhao Liping, former police chief of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region who is suspected of murdering a lover, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) for corruption.

Zhao is also a former deputy chairman of the Inner Mongolia Regional Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the regional political advisory body.

The CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a statement on Friday that Zhao took advantage of his posts to seek benefits for businesses and officials in addition to accepting bribes.

He accepted monetary gifts and committed adultery, flouting CPC codes of conduct, according to the statement.

Zhao also illegally possessed guns and ammunition, according to the statement.

He was detained by police in March in Mongolia's Chifeng on suspicion of killing a woman with whom he had an intimate relationship.

According to the statement, his undue gains have been confiscated and his case has been transferred to the judiciary. Endi
