ZHANG Jingli, former deputy director of the State Food and Drug Administration, has been sacked for serious violations of discipline and law, the discipline watchdog of the Communist Party of China said yesterday.
Zhang was also expelled from the CPC, said the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC seven months after it announced that Zhang was "under investigation for suspected disciplinary violations."
Zhang, 56, became deputy director of the administration in 2003. He was still in that position in 2007 when former SFDA director Zheng Xiaoyu was executed for taking 6.49 million yuan (US$979,000) in bribes and dereliction of duty.
Zhang abused his office to benefit others and receive "a large amount of money" in return, according to a statement .
Investigations also found that Zhang gained "huge profits" from illegal business operations, fabricated facts to frame others and led a corrupt life.
Meanwhile, Liu Zhuozhi, former vice chairman of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, has been removed from his post for alleged "severe disciplinary violations."
The Standing Committee of the People's Congress in Inner Mongolia held a meeting yesterday to vote on Liu's removal.
