District chief in Shanghai jailed for taking bribes
By Cao Li (China Daily)
Updated: 2009-03-20 08:35 SHANGHAI: A former district chief was sentenced yesterday to 13 years in prison for taking bribes of 1.87 million yuan ($274,000). Zhang Keming, 65, the former vice-director of Putuo district in Shanghai, illegally traded property and land, abused tax policies and took bribes four times, according to Shanghai No 2 intermediate people court. Zhang, who was quiet during the hearing, was escorted from the courtroom without appeal. His attorney had earlier declined comment.
Zhang and Liu made money from a property deal with a Tianjin-based automobile trading company. When the company ended its business in Shanghai, the two bought a property from the company for a low price and sold it later for more. Zhang got 500,000 yuan from the deal. Zhang also received 1 million yuan from Shanghai Shatian Property Development Company and 20,000 yuan from Shanghai Xinchangzheng Group, the developer of a large shopping and office complex, after he helped the company evade taxes. An investigation in 2007 into Wang Miaoxing, former chairman of State-owned Shanghai Xinchangzheng Group, led to the discovery of Zhang's crimes. Zhang was detained in April 2008. |
