Ex-official in sex scandal gets 14 years for bribery
Print Edition
A FORMER official dismissed due to a sex tape scandal was sentenced to 14 years in jail for bribery in southwest China’s Chongqing City.
Han Shuming, former head of Changshou District, was yesterday convicted of accepting bribes worth 4.4 million yuan (US$724,680), according to the ruling handed down by the Chongqing No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court.
Han, 48, took advantage of his position and assisted with land leasing and construction contracts for two businessmen surnamed Jiang and Li in exchange for bribes between 2001 and 2013, according to a statement from the court.
Han’s accessory, Feng Binghui, was sentenced to five years in jail after being convicted of taking bribes worth 900,000 yuan in the deals with the businessmen.
Han was removed from his post and investigated from January 2013 after an extortion gang was caught trying to blackmail him with secretly recorded sex videos.
More than 20 government officials and executives of state-owned enterprises, including Han and Lei Zhengfu, former Party chief of Chongqing’s Beibei District, were involved in the scandal. Lei was later jailed for 13 years.
