He was arrested on November 8, 2007, and tried on July 24 last year.
The Suzhou court found Wang took advantage of his positions to accumulate 5.07 million yuan, US$670,000 and 50,000 Hong Kong dollars (US$6,450) in bribes from October 1991 to March 2007, with business dealings involving joint-venture operations, business mergers and acquisitions, company management, loans and advertising contracts.
It sentenced Wang to life imprisonment and confiscated all his assets.
Nearly 10 senior executives from Gujing Group have been convicted by the court of first instance. Gan Shaoyu, the former general manager of one of the group's subsidiaries, was sentenced to 15 years prison. Guo Xinmin, a former deputy general manager of the group's sales arm in Bozhou, was received the death penalty with a two-year reprieve. Ruan Kunhua, the former chairman of one of the group's subsidiaries, was sentenced to 10 years.
