Bai Deyu, former director of the Education Bureau of Riwoche County in Chamdo City has been expelled from the Communist Party for alleged violation of discipline and law and has now been transferred to a relevant judicial organ to decide according to law, Xinhua reported.

It was found after investigation that Bai Deyu, while assuming a post as the director of Education Bureau of Riwoche County, took advantage of his position, accepting bribes of more than 200,000 yuan from goods suppliers. He took the bribery by signing fictitious contracts with suppliers to purchase rice, flour, meat and others, and embezzled more than 100,000 yuan education funds.

According to investigation, Bai Deyu violated relevant provisions through the purchase of more than 2,000,000 yuan of grain and oil. He knew clearly that 80 percent of the invoices issued by the oil and grain suppliers were fake and still approved the verifications; furthermore, "Three Guarantee" materials were purchased at prices one to three times higher than the market price.
