[Mr Chen was the most senior official to be sacked in a decade]
The former Communist Party leader of Shanghai has been expelled from the party, state media reports.
Chen Liangyu was also sacked from all his government positions, according to state television.
He was fired last year after a probe into the alleged misuse of the city's pension fund. Many other senior figures were also accused of involvement. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6917428.stm
