Bribes land Li in prison
Print Edition
Li Dongsheng, former vice minister of public security, has been jailed for 15 years for accepting bribes, a court in Tianjin announced yesterday.
Tianjin No. 2 Intermediate People鈥檚 court also confiscated 1 million yuan (US$152,000) of Li鈥檚 personal assets.
The court held that Li took advantage of his posts to seek benefits for himself and others, and extorted and accepted 鈥渁 huge amount鈥 of bribes.
Between 1996 and 2013, when Li was vice head of China Central Television and vice-minister of public security, he and his younger brother Li Fusheng together took 21.98 million yuan worth of bribes, of which Li pocketed 4.8 million yuan.
The court heard that Li returned all of the bribes during the police investigation.
Li is the latest in a long string of high-ranking officials jailed under the central government鈥檚 sweeping anti-corruption drive.
The court said he was given a lenient sentence as he had cooperated in the investigation, showed his remorse, confessed details of his offenses, and returned the bribes.
