China jails former
vice-governor as anti-corruption drive continues
A
former Chinese vice-governor known for his appetite for jade and the arts was
sentenced to 17 years in prison on corruption charges on Saturday, a Chinese
court said.
Ni Fake, former vice-governor of the eastern province of Anhui, was
found guilty of taking more than $2m (£1.3m) in bribes, the municipal
intermediate people’s court for the eastern city of Dongying said in a
statement.
He also failed to explain the sources for nearly $1m of additional
assets, the court said.
