Dads bribed officials to help sons

THE fathers of two men jailed in 2014 for hunting and selling endangered birds have turned themselves in to judicial authorities for bribing law enforcement officials, according to local authorities.

Vocational school student Yan Xiaotian was sentenced to 10 years in prison and his friend Wang Yajun to 10 years and six months for hunting and selling Eurasian hobbies in Huixian, central China’s Henan Province.

Yan Aimin, father of Yan Xiaotian, said he and Wang Yajun’s father Wang Bujing, had bribed officials in Huixian “multiple times” after their sons were put behind bars, according to a statement from the Xinxiang City People’s Procuratorate. Xinxiang administers Huixian.

Yan said he and the older Wang had bribed the officials with sums ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of yuan in cash and gifts.

The Xinxiang procuratorate said it will investigate.
