Prison is price of graft for 6 'tigers'
China DailySix former senior officials were convicted of bribery and given sentences ranging from six years to life imprisonment by Chinese courts on Wednesday. They were Wang Baoan, former head of the National Bureau of Statistics; Chen Xuefeng, former Party chief in Luoyang, Henan province; and Lu Ziyue, former mayor of Ningbo, Zhejiang province. The other three, handed sentences ranging from six to 15 years, were Chang Xiaobing, former chairman of China Telecom; Li Chengyun, former vice-governor of Sichuan; and Deng Qilin, former chairman of Wuhan Iron and Steel Corp. Wang Baoan had accepted bribes valued at 153 million yuan, according to Zhangjiakou City Intermediate People's Court in Hebei province. Chen took advantage of his position to gain benefits for others and, in turn, accepted money and assets worth 125 million yuan from 2000 to 2015, according to Jingzhou City Intermediate People's Court in Hubei province. More than 140 high-ranking officials, at ministerial level or above, have been investigated over alleged graft issues, including Zhou Yongkang, a former member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in June 2015, according to the top anti-graft watchdog.
