A former police chief in a city in Guangdong Province was sentenced to life imprisonment yesterday for taking bribes from mafia-style gangs and serving as an umbrella for their illegal activities.
Feng Shiru, former deputy director of Yangjiang City Public Security Bureau, was charged of taking 7 million yuan (US$1.1 million) in bribes and 4.5 million yuan of assets after he was promoted to the post in 1995.
The Yangjiang Intermediate People's Court ordered all his illegal income be confiscated and also deprived him of his political rights for life.
Feng received bribes from two ringleaders who ran underground casinos and he would tip them off ahead of a police operation. Both ringleaders have been sentenced to death, one with a reprieve.
Feng also invested HK$2.5 million (US$322,300) in a casino run by the gangs in Macao in 2004 and took advantage of his position to let convicted gang members to serve their sentences outside the prison, a local newspaper, New Express, reported.
