Taiwan's high court Friday sentenced the island's former leader, Chen Shui-bian, to 20 years in jail for corruption, reducing the previous sentence of life imprisonment, Xinhua reported. His wife Wu Shu-chen's life conviction for graft was also reduced to 20 years by the high court. Chen and his wife were sentenced to life imprisonment by the Taipei District Court in September last year for corruption, money laundering, bribery and other abuses when he was in power from 2000 to 2008. |
