ZHU Zhigang, former director of the Commission for Budget Affairs of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress was sentenced to life imprisonment for taking bribes yesterday.
According to the Xinyang Intermediate People's Court in Henan Province, Zhu abused his positions to help others make financial gains, and took bribes totaling more than 7.44 million yuan (US$1.09 million) when he served as assistant finance minister and deputy finance minister from January 2000 to March 2008.
The court also deprived Zhu of his political rights for life, and confiscated all his assets.
He was expelled from the NPC in December 2008, two months after the NPC Standing Committee endorsed Zhu's resignation from the positions of NPC Standing Committee member, director of the Commission for Budget Affairs of the NPC Standing Committee, and vice chairman of the NPC Financial and Economic Affairs Committee.
