Former Liaoning vice governor expelled from Party for graft
Print Edition
LIU Qiang, former vice governor of northeast China’s Liaoning Province, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China and public office for multiple offenses.
Meanwhile, two former provincial-level officials of Jiangsu and Hunan have been indicted for graft-related charges.
Liu was found in serious violation of the Party’s political code of conduct and rules, including soliciting votes through bribery and lobbying, the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said yesterday.
Liu has been under investigation by the commission since November.
Other offenses include undermining investigation against him, organizing superstitious activities, visiting private clubs and reimbursing personal costs, not reporting personal matters to authorities according to rules, and selling public offices. Liu is also accused of accepting gifts and money against rules, securing illegal gains for his relatives, and exchanging power for sex.
Liu’s case and his illegal gains have been transferred to judicial organs as he is suspected of being guilty of undermining elections and taking a huge amount of bribes in money and valuables, the commission stated.
His expulsion from the Party and public office were authorized by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council respectively, the commission added.
Also yesterday, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate said Li Yunfeng, former vice governor of Jiangsu, and Zhang Wenxiong, former head of the publicity department of the CPC Hunan Committee, have been indicted.
They have been indicted by procuratorates in Shandong Province and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, respectively, the SPP said in a statement.
Li was accused of taking bribes. Prosecutors said Li had taken advantage of his posts to seek benefits for others and accepted huge amount of money or gifts in return.
Zhang was accused of taking advantage of his power to seek interests for others, or using his posts to seek illegal benefits for others through other officials’ work and accepting huge amount of money or gifts.
Also, the properties and spending of Zhang and his family were found to have markedly exceeded his legal income, and he could not explain the source of the extra gains. Prosecutors accused Zhang of taking bribes and holding a huge amount of property from unidentified sources.
