Sichuan ex-official expelled over graft
Print Edition
A FORMER provincial official has been stripped of the membership of Communist Party of China and expelled from public office for serious legal and disciplinary violations, the Party’s anti-graft authority announced yesterday.
Guo Yongxiang, former chairman of the federation of literary and art circles in southwestern Sichuan Province, has been under investigation by the Party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) since last June.
The investigation found that Guo had exacted profits for others through his position and taken a large number of bribes and gifts, either directly himself or through his son.
He was also found to have sought to use his position to benefit his son’s businesses and of moral corruption.
Guo has seriously violated the law and Party discipline, the CCDI said.
Authorized by the CPC Central Committee, the CCDI removed Guo from the Party and his public office and to confiscate his illegal gains.
The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) announced yesterday that Guo has been placed under criminal investigation for alleged bribe-taking.
“Measures have been imposed on Guo and the investigation is under way,” the SPP said.
Guo was formerly a member of the standing committee of the Party’s Sichuan provincial committee and a vice governor of Sichuan Province.
