A former vice mayor in central China's Hunan Province was recently sentenced to ten years in prison for taking bribes of 1.51 million yuan (US$239,800) and abusing his power, the People's Daily reported today.
Zhu Shaozhong, former vice mayor of Xiangtan City, helped a businessman surnamed Qi to get construction projects and received 496,000 yuan and US$20,000 from Qi, the Zhuzhou City Intermediate People's Court said.
Most of the 14 people who bribed Zhu would bring cash to his home during the holidays such as the Spring Festival because giving gifts on holidays was a good excuse to cover up bribery, the court said.
The irony is that Zhu was always regarded as an official of integrity and was honored as an "anti-graft official," the report said.
