Four former officials have been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) in central China's Hubei Province over corruption, said the provincial discipline watchdog on Wednesday.
The four are Peng Yong, former deputy secretary-general of the Hubei provincial government, Zheng Xinghua, former vice mayor of Yichang City, Wang Shiyi, former secretary of the CPC committee of Xinzhou District of the provincial capital Wuhan, and Chen Bocai, former head of the administration commission of an economic development area in Ezhou City.
Peng has been sentenced to a fixed jail term by a court for taking bribes. The other three, who have been removed from their posts, were accused of bribery, power abuse or adultery, said the CPC's Hubei discipline inspection commission. Their cases have been transferred to judicial authorities.
