Four officials expelled from Party in SW China

Xinhua, October 11, 2015 Adjust font size:

Four senior officials were expelled from the Communist Party of China for serious discipline violations in southwest China's Yunnan Province, said the provincial discipline watchdog.

The four were Xie Xinsong, vice mayor of Kunming, the provincial capital; Cai Jianghua, deputy head of the province's investment and cooperation bureau; Chu Zhongzhi, Party chief of Dali City; and Li Xiaoming, former head of the provincial geological and mining bureau.

Xie, Cai and Chu were dismissed from their public posts, said the Yunnan Provincial Discipline Commission of the CPC.

The four were accused of accepting bribes to seek interests for others. Xie and Chu allegedly accepted more than 5 million yuan (790,000 U.S. dollars) and about 3.6 million yuan in bribes respectively. The two were also accused of adultery.

They will be dealt with by judicial organs according to law for suspected law violations. Endi
