Sentence upheld for mafia boss

A court in south China鈥檚 Hainan Province yesterday upheld the death penalty of a 200-member gang leader in the province鈥檚 largest mafia case ever.

The Higher People鈥檚 Court of Hainan Province rejected the appeal filed by Huang Hongfa and upheld the death penalty handed down by a lower-level court after he was convicted of 17 crimes, including organizing a mafia gang and intentional assault.

Other key members 鈥 Huang Hongming, Huang Yingxiang and Huang Hongjin 鈥 received sentences ranging from a two-year reprieve to 25 years in jail to death.

Two people were killed and more than 20 injured by the ring over the past 30 years, the court determined. Police seized assets worth up to 2.5 billion yuan (US$360 million), which will be handled by a special task force team in a separate case.
