Death Sentence For Former Shenzhen Mayor

THE former mayor of Shenzhen was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve yesterday for taking bribes, two years after he was sacked.

Xu Zongheng, a former car technician, had been Shenzhen's mayor since 2005.

The court found that Xu, 56, took more than 33.2 million yuan (US$5.1 million) in bribes from building material companies and officials between 2001 and 2009.

A court verdict said Xu had abused his power and sought profits by helping nine units or individuals change land development plans, win construction project contracts or gain promotion.
