A former top provincial political advisor in southwest China's Guizhou has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and his public office for corruption, the CPC's disciplinary department said Thursday.
Huang Yao, former chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, has been under investigation for "severe violations of discipline and law," according to the CPC's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the party's anti-graft body.
Huang was found to have used his position to promote the interests of others in return for "large sums" of bribes.
Huang "lived a corrupt life", the CCDI added.
His illegal gains will be confiscated and his case has been referred for prosecution, the CCDI said.
The CPC Central Committee approved the penalties according to the CPC's intra-Party supervisory disciplinary regulations and the country's Law on Public Servants, according to the CCDI.
Huang was sacked for serious discipline violation in November 2009.
