BEIJING, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Liang Bin, a former senior official in Hebei Province, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and dismissed from public office following a graft investigation.
The CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) made the announcement Monday.
Liang Bin was former head of the Organization Department of the CPC Hebei Provincial Committee and a former member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Hebei Provincial Committee.
The CCDI investigation found that Liang took advantage of his post to seek profits for others, and accepted "a huge amount in bribes" himself or via relatives.
He also received gifts and cash and committed adultery, said a statement from the CCDI.
Liang, who was also a former member of the 130-strong CCDI, seriously violated CPC discipline and is suspected of breaking the law, the CCDI said in a statement.
Liang's illegal gains have been confiscated and his case has been transferred to the judiciary, according to the statement.
Liang has been under probe since November for serious violations of CPC discipline.
