BEIJING, April 17 -- In the latest case in a sweeping anti-corruption campaign, two officials in Beijing have been removed from their posts for corruption, the local disciplinary watchdog said on Friday.
Wang Hongzhong, former head of Beijing's Mengtougou District, has also been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC). Wang was sacked alongside Lu Haijun, former secretary of the CPC Committee of the Beijing Energy Investment Holding Co., Ltd.
Both Wang and Lu accepted huge sums of money as bribes in return for favors for others, according to Beijing's city commission for discipline inspection.
