BEIJING, July 14 (Xinhua) — Former deputy head of China's State Tobacco Monopoly Administration Zhang Tianfeng has been expelled from the Communist Party of China for serious violations of party discipline and laws, an official statement said Monday.
The decision was made following an investigation conducted by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervisory Committee with the approval of the CPC Central Committee.
During the investigation, it was found that Zhang Tianfeng had lost his ideals and beliefs and was resisting the organizational inspection.
Ignoring the "Eight-Point Rules" of the CPC Central Committee, Zhang Tianfeng made gifts of money and gifts in violation of relevant regulations. He was also found to have attended banquets that could affect his impartial performance of official duties.
He violated the Party's organizational principles by extracting benefits for others in the process of nominating and appointing cadres, in exchange for which he received money and material goods.
Moreover, he abused his official position and other state resources for personal gain, using his influence in the tobacco sector to engage in “leveraging” transactions, as well as on behalf of third parties in concluding contracts for projects and advancing up the career ladder, for which he illegally received from them monetary and material assets on an especially large scale, the statement said.
Following the investigation, a decision was made to confiscate his illegally obtained income, as well as to transfer his case to the prosecutor's office for further consideration and the initiation of criminal prosecution, the document says. -0-
