A FORMER senior provincial official in southeast China's Guangzhou Province has been sentenced to life in jail for taking massive amounts of bribes.
Yang Xiancai, 59, was found guilty of abusing his positions to help others make financial gains, and taking bribes totaling more than 11.83 million yuan (US$1.73 million) when he served as the executive director of the Guangdong Higher People's Court from 1996 to 2008.
The Baoding Intermediate People's Court in Hebei Province also deprived Yang of his political rights for life, and confiscated all his assets, reported Xinhua news agency today.
The court said Yang was given a lenient sentence because he gave back all the bribes and readily confessed his guilt.
