Former military leader Guo Boxiong has been expelled from the Communist Party of China for taking bribes. The news was announced by the Party's Central Committee Thursday. His case will now be handed over to military prosecutors.

An investigation found that Guo took advantage of his post to seek promotions and other benefits for others, and accepted bribes personally or through his family.

Guo, 73, formerly served as the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission and was also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

He is among several senior-level military officials who have been expelled from the party as part of a massive anti-corruption campaign.
