Nine "tigers" have been sentenced this year

On Friday, the Shanxi Provincial Higher People's Court publicly pronounced a verdict in the case of Zhang Zhongsheng, a former member of the Standing Committee of the Luliang Municipal CPC Committee and former vice mayor, who accepted bribes and appealed against a huge amount of assets of unknown origin, sentenced Zhang Zhongsheng to death with a two-year suspension of execution, deprived of political rights for life, and confiscated all personal property, and after the completion of the two-year suspension of execution of his death sentence, he was sentenced to life imprisonment without commutation or parole. The second-instance trial of the Shanxi Provincial Higher People's Court found that from 1997 to 2013, Zhang Zhongsheng took advantage of his position to seek benefits for relevant units and individuals, and solicited and illegally accepted property given by relevant units and individuals, totaling more than 1.04 billion yuan. Zhang Zhongsheng also has a huge amount of assets that clearly exceed his legitimate income, and the source cannot be explained.

The Shanxi Provincial Higher People's Court held that, in view of Zhang Zhongsheng's confession of guilt and repentance, and his initiative to confess most of the facts of the crime that the case-handling organs had not yet grasped after arriving at the case, he and his family actively cooperated with the recovery of stolen money and stolen goods, most of the stolen money and stolen goods involved in the case were recovered, and he actively reported clues about the crime of major bribery of others.
