Zhou, who retired from China's all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) in 2012, was found to have "accepted a large amount of money and properties personally and through his family," Xinhua said.
"He took advantage of his posts to seek profits for others and accepted huge bribes personally and through his family," the Xinhua report said.
"He abused his power to help relatives, mistresses and friends make huge profits from operating businesses, resulting in serious losses of state-owned assets," it said.
Zhou also leaked party and state secrets, took money and property either himself or through his relatives, Xinhua said. It did not provide details.
It said that Zhou was found to have "committed adultery with a number of women and traded his power for sex and money," adding that he had "completely deviated from the Party's nature and mission, and seriously violated Party discipline."
IS HE THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS? PPPLEASE!!!

Zhou's main crime from Xi Jinping's perspective was to conspire with Bo Xilai and others to elbow Xi's clique out of the way and set up their own ruling clique with Bo Xilai at the top. So this is a case of a bad party clique purging an even worse party clique.
