Three former officials expelled from Party

Three former senior officials with public security backgrounds were expelled from the Communist Party of China on Wednesday over corruption allegations amid the intensified anti-graft campaign in China's judicial system.

Yu Gang, former deputy director of the general office of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the CPC Central Committee, Ji Wenlin, former vice-governor of Hainan province, and Tan Hong, a former senior officer in the guard bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, were expelled from the Party.

The CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the country's top anti-graft watchdog, found that all of them had taken huge bribes and used their posts to seek interests for others. Yu and Ji have also been accused of committing adultery.
