Former China military leader, Guo Boxiong expelled from CPC, to face justice
Guo Boxiong, a
former Chinese military leader, was expelled from the Communist Party of China
(CPC) for taking bribes, according to a decision made at a meeting of the CPC
Central Committee's Political Bureau on Thursday.
The meeting also
decided to transfer his case regarding "suspected serious crime of taking
bribes" and relevant clues to military prosecutors for handling in
accordance with the law.
Guo,
73, formerly served as the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission
(CMC).
The decision was made after Thursday's meeting reviewed and
approved a report by the CMC disciplinary inspection authority on Guo's
investigation.
Investigations found that Guo took the advantage of his post to
seek promotion and other benefits for others and accepted bribe personally or
through his family, said the statement issued after the meeting.
"His acts seriously violated the CPC's discipline and left
vile impact," it said.
The statement said the CPC Central Committee on April 9 decided
to put Guo under investigation according to the Party's disciplinary rules.
