Li Youcan, former deputy director of the Hebei Provincial Foreign Trade and
Economic Cooperation Bureau, was sentenced to death Friday by a local court
in Hengshui city for taking huge bribes.
The Intermediate People's Court in Hengshui city, in north China's Hebei
province, also deprived Li of his political rights for life and confiscated all
his personal property.
The court found that Li, who was then also head of the Hebei Provincial
Office for Electromechanical Import and Export, took bribes totaling 47.23
million yuan (US$5.7 million) from August, 2001 to April, 2003, to provide
automobile quotas to a Beijing-based car trade company.
In April, 2002, Li asked for a sedan from Jidong Electromechanical Equipment
Company, based in Tangshan city, also in Hebei province. Involved money totaled
210,000 yuan (US$25,400).
