A FORMER high-ranking official of a state-owned telecommunication engineering company has got life sentence for embezzling 580 million yuan (US$88 million) and taking 910,000 yuan in bribes and escort services.
Dong Yuejin, 53, former assistant to the general manager of China International Telecommunication Construction Corp, transferred a large part of his money overseas and sent his wife and son to live aboard before his arrest, yesterday's Beijing Evening News reported.
Dong had pled not guilty to embezzlement and some 13 million yuan worth of letters of credit involved had still not been retrieved, the Beijing No 2 Intermediate People's Court said.
The court said Dong had transferred four companies' letters of credit to Beijing Zhongrunde Telecommunication Co, to help the company show a good fiscal performance so that it can apply for more bank loans from 2007.
In his defense, Dong claimed he would rapidly return the letters and had no intention of abusing them.
In return, Dong accepted 190,000 yuan in bribes from Ma Lianlong, president of Beijing Zhongrunde Telecommunication Co.
Investigators said Ma also provided prostitution and drugs for Dong to thank him.
Dong's case also led to the downfall of his superior, Li Rui, 52, former general manager of CITCC.
Dong was supposedly sacked for involvement in prostitution in 2000.
However, Li took advantage of his position to help Dong get a quick promotion.
In exchange, Dong offered Li cash, mobile phone and golf clubs worth a total of 134,000 yuan between 2000 and 2008.
Li faces charges of taking bribes and his case will be handled in a coming trial.
