Former GM of China Mobile Sichuan Gets Suspended Death Sentence
Li Hua (李华), the former General Manager of the Sichuan branch of China Mobile, who was detained on suspicion of accepting bribes in June last year, was sentenced to death with a two year reprieve (which is often commuted to a life sentence) after a trial which began on Jul 5 and concluded today at the Panzhihua Intermediate People's Court. Li Hua was officially arrested by Chengdu's Public Security Bureau in late September last year and his case was passed to Panzhihua prosecutors in November. According to the charges leveled by prosecutors during court proceedings, Li accepted over 16 million yuan in bribes during his 10 years as GM of the Sichuan branch of China Mobile. Li's case was just one of a number of corruption scandals uncovered at the Sichuan branch of China Mobile, it is also said to be related to the investigation of Shen Changfu (沈长富),the former party secretary and general manager of China Mobile's Chongqing office. Zhang Chunjiang, the former vice-chairman of the Hong Kong-listed China Mobile, was also sentenced to death with a two year reprieve last month.
