January 25, 2013 22:45

Ten district-level officials of China's Communist Party have been removed from their posts after they figured in explicit sex videos, broadening the scandal that has rocked Chongqing city, headed till last year by disgraced leader Bo Xilai.

The Chinese public was left shocked and outraged again after more officials in the southwest China's municipality of Chongqing were revealed to be implicated in a sex video scandal, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

The officials involved were working as chiefs, governors and executives of state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

The announcement ended months of online speculation that a number of local officials had been involved in the case.

The scandal emerged in November after a sex video featuring one official, later confirmed to be CPC Secretary of Chongqing's Beibei district, went viral online.
