Song Lin, chairman of state-owned China Resources (Holdings) Co., Ltd, has been dismissed from office for suspected serious discipline and law violations, authorities said Saturday.

Song was also removed from his office as the Communist Party of China (CPC) chief of the enterprise, said an official with the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.

The case is being handled according to relevant procedures, the official said.

The CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced Thursday that Song was under investigation.

Song was earlier publicly tipped off, for the second time, by a journalist with the Xinhua-run Economic Information Daily on Tuesday.

Wang Wenzhi, the journalist, claimed that Song was suspected of embezzlement, dereliction of duty and keeping mistress.
