BEIJING, June 10 (Xinhua) — Zhu Zhisong, former secretary of the CPC Shanghai New Area Committee, has been expelled from the Party and dismissed from public service for serious violations of Party discipline and the law, following an investigation by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission.
Zhu Zhisong was an alternate member of the 20th CPC Central Committee and a member of the Bureau of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the CPC.
The investigation revealed that Zhu Zhisong had obstructed inspections along organizational lines, had made decisions to reduce the price of transferring land use rights in violation of established rules, and had interfered in processes related to construction contracts, according to an official statement released on Tuesday.
It is also noted that the former party leader abused his official position in the interests of third parties in matters related to contracts for projects and the economic activities of enterprises, receiving large sums of money and material assets in return.
Thus, Zhu Zhisong has committed serious official misconduct and is also suspected of accepting bribes.
In accordance with the rules of the CPC and the laws of the PRC, it was decided to expel him from the party and dismiss him from public service, the statement said.
In addition, Zhu Zhisong was stripped of his status as a delegate to the 20th National Congress of the CPC, as well as a delegate to the Shanghai City Congress and the Pudong District Congress of the CPC.
His case was referred to the prosecutor’s office for further consideration, according to the report. -0-
