IT firm boss jailed for defamation

THE head of a private IT company was sentenced to two years and nine months in jail for defamation yesterday.

The Zhabei District People’s Court announced the verdict after finding Fu Xuesheng, 48, the chairman and legal representative of Shanghai LabInfo Technologies Ltd, guilty of creating and spreading online rumors about government officials and company executives.

In one case, Fu was found guilty of spreading rumors about a district official. He claimed the official had accepted more than 2 billion yuan (US$320 million) in bribes, owned over 60 houses, had 10 mistresses and committed a murder.

After Fu failed to win a tender issued by Sinopec in December 2012, he took “revenge” on the winning bidder by claiming that it had used an African man to sexually bribe a Sinopec executive surnamed Zhang.
