BEIJING, July 4 (Xinhua) -- Huang Yi, former vice chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was sentenced Tuesday to 13 years imprisonment for accepting bribes.

According to the verdict issued by the First Intermediate People's Court of Chongqing Municipality, Huang was also fined 3 million yuan (about 416,400 U.S. dollars). Huang's illegal gains from bribery and the interest it generated will be confiscated and handed over to the state treasury.

The court found that, between 2001 and 2022, Huang took advantage of his various positions to assist others on matters such as the contracting of construction projects, the approval of business programs and the operation of enterprises.

In return, he accepted money and valuables worth over 34.95 million yuan, said the court.

Considering the fact that Huang confessed to his crimes during the investigation and was cooperative in returning all his illegal gains, he was granted a lenient sentence, according to the court. Enditem
