6月27日，中共中央政治局会议审议并通过中央军委《关于魏凤和问题审查结果和处理意见的报告》，决定给予魏凤和开除党籍处分，终止其党的二十大代表资格。

根据军委纪委监委查办案件中发现的问题线索，经党中央研究决定，2023年9月21日，由军委纪委监委对魏凤和严重违纪违法问题立案审查调查。

The Communist Party of China (CPC) leadership on Thursday decided to expel former defense minister Wei Fenghe from the Party for serious violation of Party discipline and the law.

Wei, who also formerly served as a member of the Central Military Commission (CMC) and a state councilor, was deprived of his qualification as a delegate to the 20th CPC National Congress, according to a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

The CMC's disciplinary and supervisory agency launched an investigation against Wei on Sept 21, 2023.

现已查明，魏凤和严重违反政治纪律，不履行全面从严治党政治责任，对抗组织审查；严重违反组织纪律，违规为他人谋取人事利益；严重违反廉洁纪律，违规收受礼品礼金；利用职务便利为他人谋取利益并收受巨额钱款，涉嫌受贿罪。审查调查中还发现魏凤和其他严重违纪违法问题线索。魏凤和身为党和军队高级领导干部，信仰坍塌、忠诚失节，其行为辜负党中央、中央军委信任重托，严重污染部队政治生态，给党的事业、国防和军队建设，以及高级领导干部形象造成极大损害，性质极其严重，影响极为恶劣，危害特别巨大。

According to the investigation results, Wei seriously violated political and organizational discipline by helping others gain improper benefits in personnel arrangements. He also seriously violated discipline regarding integrity, accepting money and gifts in violation of relevant rules.

Wei took advantage of his posts to seek benefits for others, accepting a huge amount of money and valuables in return, constituting the suspected crime of taking bribes.

The investigation also found clues about Wei's other violations.

As a high-ranking official of the Party and the military, Wei lost his faith and loyalty. His actions failed the trust of the Party Central Committee and the CMC, and severely contaminated the political environment of the military, bringing enormous damage to the Party's cause, the development of national defense and the armed forces, as well as the image of senior officials.

Wei's violations are extremely serious in nature, with a highly detrimental impact and tremendous harm, according to the investigation findings.

2024年6月27日，中央政治局会议审议并通过中央军委《关于魏凤和问题审查结果和处理意见的报告》，根据《中国共产党纪律处分条例》等有关规定，决定给予魏凤和开除党籍处分，终止其党的二十大代表资格，将魏凤和涉嫌犯罪问题移送军事检察机关依法审查起诉。

此前，中央军委已决定给予魏凤和开除军籍处分，取消其火箭军上将军衔。

The Political Bureau also decided to transfer Wei's suspected criminal case to procuratorial organs of the military for examination and prosecution.

An earlier decision made by the CMC had expelled Wei from the military service and deprived him of his rank of general.
