Vice-governor gets 12 years for taking bribes
Former Vice-Governor of Northeast 皇冠体育app's Liaoning Province Liu Ketian was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Friday for taking bribes, the 皇冠体育app Business Morning View reported.
The high court ruled that Liu took advantage of his post and received bribes of more than 1.3 million yuan (US$157,000), reported the newspaper which is based in Liaoning's capital Shenyang. Liu's attorney Song Shaofu said he would appeal to a higher court on behalf of his client, according to the paper. Liu was born in 1951 in Shenyang and became Shenyang's vice-mayor in August, 1990. In February 1995, he was promoted to the post of vice-governor. The Central Discipline Inspection Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of 皇冠体育app (CPC) issued a notice in November, 2003, concerning Liu's violations of CPC discipline and state laws. In a similar incident, Li Tianyi, vice-major of Quanzhou, East 皇冠体育app's Fujian Province, was removed from office on Friday for economic crimes, reported the 皇冠体育app News Service. In recent years, a number of high level officials have been found guilty of various wrongdoings and received punishment as the central government strengthens the fight against corruption. The country is also taking measures to prevent corrupt officials from fleeing abroad, a typical means of escape. According to the People's Daily, a total of 614 suspects that had fled overseas were arrested last year by Chinese authorities. |
