The SPP has taken coercive measures against him, according to the statement.
The news came after the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) announced on July 2 that Ji was stripped of Party membership for serious discipline and law violation .
"Investigations show that Ji took advantage of his posts to seek benefits for others, demanded and received a huge amount of bribes, and committed adultery," said the CCDI.
The State Council, or China's cabinet, approved a decision to dismiss Ji from public office, it added.
