Zhou Yongkang, China's powerful former security chief, has been under virtual house arrest since late last year. one of his former aides was just expelled from the ruling Communist Party.
Zhou is the highest-profile figure caught up in crackdown on corruption. He is the most senior Chinese official to be ensnared in a graft scandal since the party swept to power in 1949.
Chinese authorities have seized $14.5 billion in assets from relatives and associates of Zhou, and they have called in more 300 of Zhou's relatives, political allies, proteges for questioning. [BBC]
