Two senior officials expelled for bribery; another two formally arrested

Two former provincial-level officials have been expelled from the Communist Party of China for multiple offenses, including bribery, according to CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on Friday.

Ai Wenli, 63, former senior political adviser in North China's Hebei province, was expelled from the Party for violating Party disciplines and laws, the CCDI said in a statement released on Friday.

According to the CCDI, anti-graft officers will confiscate his ill-gotten assets and will transfer evidence to the prosecuting department for charges, with a proposed lenient punishment.
