A HIGHER People's Court in southwest China yesterday upheld the death sentence with a two-year reprieve of the former general manager of leading liquor maker Kweichow Moutai for taking 13 million yuan (US$1.9 million) in bribes.
The Guizhou Province Higher People's Court rejected Qiao Hong's appeal and handed down the sentence. This was the trial of last resort for Qiao and he cannot appeal.
Qiao Hong, 54, was convicted of taking bribes on more than 100 occasions from 22 people from the end of 2000 to March 2007 during his tenure as the liquor maker's boss. He also took bribes with his brother Qiao Jianhua.
He had assets valued at 8.2 million yuan from unknown income sources.
Qiao had admitted to most of the crimes and returned all the money, the court said.
