SHIJIAZHUANG, May 17 (Xinhua) -- Yang Keqin, former chief procurator of the Jilin Provincial People's Procuratorate, was sentenced to 13 years in jail for bribery, announced the Shijiazhuang Municipal Intermediate People's Court on Monday.

The court has imposed a fine of 4 million yuan (about 622,000 U.S. dollars) and ordered Yang to turn over all his illicit gains, including any interest accrued, to the state treasury.

From 2011 to 2019, Yang illegally accepted money and gifts worth 46.35 million yuan by taking advantage of his various posts, or the convenience associated with his status, to help others profit, according to the court.

The court said Yang was given a lenient punishment as he had confessed, provided additional information about his crimes, and pled guilty. Enditem
