A DEPUTY governor of eastern Shandong Province who is at the center of lurid online allegations has been expelled from the Party for serious disciplinary and legal violations, the People's Daily said on its website yesterday.
Huang Sheng was also dismissed from all government posts by the State Council, or China's Cabinet, and the Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Huang took huge bribes and used his position to advance the interests of others, which caused massive economic losses to the country, the statement said.
All of his ill-gotten money has been confiscated, and he is under the criminal investigation for corruption. The statement also said Huang was "morally corrupted."
Online speculation about the findings against Huang ran rampant, including claims that he took bribes of US$9 billion, kept 46 mistresses and owned 46 properties. But the central government didn't confirm any of the claims as the investigation is ongoing.
Huang, a native of Weihai City in Shandong, joined the Party in 1975 and started his political career as a military cartographer. He was promoted to a post as a government official in 1984, assigned as the mayor of Dezhou City in 1996 and elected as deputy governor in 2007.
He was among seven ministerial-level officials who were investigated for suspected embezzlement or bribery in China last year.
The most famous case was that of former Railway Minister Liu Zhijun, who was sacked in February and then detained amid a graft probe that involved a series of railway projects. The State Council has said Liu should also be held responsible for the bullet train crash last July that killed 40 people in the eastern city of Wenzhou.
Others included Tian Xueren, the former executive vice governor of Jilin Province in northeast China, and also Wu Zhiming, the former secretary general of the government of Jiangxi Province.
