BEIJING, March 17 (Xinhua) -- Li Jia, former Party chief of Zhuhai City in south China's Guangdong Province, is under investigation on suspicion of taking bribes, the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) announced Friday.
Li, also a former Standing Committee member of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Guangdong Provincial Committee, was expelled from public office earlier in March for "severely violating political discipline and rules".
He has been placed under "coercive measures," which could include summons by force, bail, residential surveillance, detention and arrest.
Further investigation into his bribe-taking case continues.
