4 top provincial officials ousted from Party
Print Edition
FOUR senior officials have been expelled from the Communist Party of China for various crimes and misdemeanors, the Party’s anti-corruption watchdog said yesterday.
Wu Changshun, former police chief of Tianjin City, was ousted for bribery, adultery and abuse of power, the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said.
In July, he was removed from the post of vice chairman of Tianjin’s political advisory body, after being put under investigation by the CCDI.
Wu was also charged with committing adultery, embezzling public funds, accepting and making bribes, and abusing his position to “seek benefits for others in official selection and appointments as well as the operation of companies,” the commission said.
As a senior Party leader, Wu seriously violated the Party’s rules, which had an “extremely bad social impact,” it said.
Wu’s ill-gotten gains will be confiscated and his case will be passed to the judicial authorities, it said.
The second official to be expelled from the Party was Qin Yuhai, ex-deputy head of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of central China’s Henan Province.
He was dismissed from public office following an internal graft investigation.
The CCDI found that Qin misappropriated public property and funds, accepted bribes, and abused his power in relation to the promotion of officials and the operation of businesses.
He, too, was found to have committed adultery.
“As a senior Party official, Qin seriously violated Party rules and discipline, and the law,” the commission said in a statement, adding that his “vile” wrongdoings continued after the 18th Party Congress in late 2012.
Qin’s illicit assets have been confiscated and his case will be subjected to a criminal investigation, the CCDI said.
The third official to be expelled was Sui Fengfu, former deputy head of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province.
An investigation found Sui accepted bribes and took advantage of his position in the selection and promotion of officials. The former Party chief of Heilongjiang Provincial State-owned Farms Administrative Bureau, which administers the province’s state-owned farms, had been under investigation since November.
The fourth of the quartet was Du Shanxue, former vice governor of north China’s coal-rich Shanxi Province.
He will also be removed from the post of vice governor and as a member of the standing committee of the CPC Shanxi provincial committee, the CCDI said.
The investigation found that Du accepted “a large volume of bribes,” and “sought benefits for others in the selection of officials and the operation of companies.”
He also bribed people and committed adultery, the commission said.
The Supreme People’s Procuratorate said yesterday that Du has been placed under “coercive measures” and indicted by prosecutors for bribery.
Coercive measures can include summons by force, bail, residential surveillance, detention or arrest.
Any of Du’s properties that were gained illegally will be confiscated, the CCDI said.
