Beijing's former vice mayor Liu Zhihua, who was sacked in June for corruption, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China.

Liu has also been dismissed from all administrative posts, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC announced Tuesday.

Investigations found he had taken advantage of his posts to take several million yuan in bribes. He was also found to have a disreputable lifestyle, using his posts to win projects for his mistress and get kickbacks.

The justice department is planning to launch criminal proceedings against him.
