ZHOU Laizhen, former deputy director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), has been expelled from  the Communist Party of China (CPC) and public office for multiple offenses including graft and hindering official investigations.
  
Zhou "severely violated political discipline, and interfered with and hindered investigations," the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said in a statement on Tuesday.
  
Zhou was also found to have violated organizational discipline by taking advantage of his post to seek promotions for others, accepting bribes and untruthfully reporting personal matters. 
  
The CCDI accused Zhou of violating CPC rules by accepting gifts of cash, benefitting family businesses by taking advantage of his post and trading power for sex.
  
He flouted the frugality rules introduced at the end of 2012 by "illegally processing and using golf cards" and engaging in lavish receptions.  
  
As a senior CPC official, Zhou showed no signs of self-discipline even after the 18th CPC National Congress in late 2012, when the anti-corruption campaign was launched, the statement said.
  
The CCDI Standing Committee has reviewed the decision to expel Zhou from the CPC and the decision was approved by the CPC Central Committee, according to the statement.
  
Upon approval by the State Council, Zhou has also been sacked from public posts and had his illegal gains seized, the statement added.
  
Zhou's case has been transferred to judicial organs, the statement said.
