Former Guangdong official sentenced to 10 years for bribery

China Daily  

On Wednesday, Li Chunsheng, former vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress, was sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined 4 million yuan for bribery by the Chenzhou Intermediate People's Court in Chenzhou, Hunan province. According to the verdict, Li was found to have taken advantage of his various posts to siphon bribes valued at more than 79.4 million yuan, including some that he had not ultimately obtained, between the second half of 2001 and May 2022. The verdict went on to say that considering some of Li's bribery attempts were unsuccessful and that he voluntarily confessed his crimes, including information that the investigating authorities had not been aware of, he has been given a mitigated punishment according to law. Before Li was promoted to vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress, he was vice-governor of Guangdong and director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Public Security.
