TWO retired education officials in Baoshan District were sentenced to seven years and two years respectively for taking more than 170,000 yuan (US$26,918) in kickbacks from a student newspaper, the Baoshan District People's Court said yesterday.
Yao Songning and Gong Daoming, formerly Baoshan District Education Bureau officials, received the money in return to help the unnamed newspaper to sell subscriptions to students.
Prosecutors said Yao took more than 130,000 yuan in cash in the name of distribution fee and commissions when he was in charge of selecting and distributing newspapers to schools in the district. The briber targets junior high school students as its readers.
Yao was paid a commission of 1 percent of the total subscription value. His department also earned a commission of 3 percent from the newspaper.
In 2001, Yao, Gong and their deceased department chief surnamed Yuan spent their ill-gotten money on a trip to Britain. They also shared 60,000 yuan evenly when Yuan was about to retire, the court heard.
The three officials' crime came to light several years after they all retired. All their illegal incomes had been confiscated, the court said.
