The former president of
state-owned Shanghai
Pharmaceutical Group has been
sentenced to death for
corruption, in a case that has
fuelled concerns over drug
safety. The court gave Wu
Jianwen a two-year reprieve,
which usually means his
sentence will be commuted to
life in prison.
He was found guilty of taking bribes of almost 12 million yuan and embezzling 33 million yuan. State media said Mr Wu took bribes 35 times over ten years from suppliers of raw materials used in the company's products. |
