Zhang Zhongsheng, Chinese Official Sentenced To Death For ₦55.2Billion Fraud by Explorers(m): 3:14pm On Oct 18, 2018 |
An 'extremely greedy' former Chinese official has been given a death sentence after accepting massive bribes, according to China's state media. Zhang Zhongsheng, 66, is said to have taken bribes amounting to 1.04 billion (£116.8 million) in the space of 16 years the equivalent of being bribed 178,000 yuan (£20,000) a day. The disgraced officials received the economic benefits while working senior roles in Lvliang, one of China's poorest regions, said the court. The news has grabbed much attention in China because few corrupt officials have been given a death penalty even after Chinese President Xi Jinping launched a tough anti-graft campaign while assuming the office in 2013. Mr Zhang was sentenced by the Intermediate People's Court of Linfen City in Shanxi and confiscated Zhang's personal assets according to People's Daily Online. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5554225/Disgraced-Chinese-official-sentenced-death-receiving-116-million-bribes.html?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C4558468045 10 Likes 3 Shares

The disgraced official received the astronomical bribes between 1997 and 2003 when he worked for the regional governments in Lvliang, Shanxi Province. He was investigated in 2015 while working as the deputy mayor of Lvliang City. His other positions included the head of Zhongyang County in Lvliang.Lvliang is a poverty-stricken area. According to China News, 1,346 villages and 480,000 residents of the area are classified as 'impoverished' by the central government. According to the court, Mr Zhang accepted a total of 18 bribes in the forms of cash and property. Among them, two cases exceeded 200 million yuan (£22.5 million) in value; and over 88 million yuan (£10 million) had been requested by Mr Zhang from his contacts. The court said Mr Zhang's crimes had caused 'huge losses to the country and its people'. 10 Likes

In my country, they will be given a presidential welcome. In my country, the case will drag forever in court, the judges will be bribed, men of God from the religious place where the criminal worships will get involved, some other public office holder that matter will be bribed, the criminal will move to the ruling party to get case buried. In my country $2.1B was stolen and nothing of significance has been done about it. In my country, politicians take loans In the name of the country to enable them have enough loot to share amoung themselves. In my country, the youths know how to defend these thieves well, exornorating one over the other. There are many of these youths on this forum, Nairaland. In my country, if you steal a Nokia torch light phone or goat, these youths mentioned above will likely take your life via jingle justice I need not tell you the name of my country 182 Likes 20 Shares |

penzino:because your country is lawless. but let's paint a fantasized scenario here and say buhari is the person sentenced to death for corrupt practices. how best do you think this death sentence will be implemented; a. by hanging b. shoot to death or c. electrocution for me, I think 'option a' will be very perfect for him as this method is gonna complement his height and of course his sagging balls. what do you think?? ![]() 28 Likes 5 Shares |

Why this isn't possible in nigeria is very simple: WE DON'T HAVE A ''COUNTRY or NATION'' yet. We only have an association of various groups of people. That is why these groups of people will fight tooth and nail just to defend their people accused of crime even against ''national interest'' because where there is no nation,there can never be ''national interest'' 40 Likes 4 Shares |

Freiden:In your country, the thief will be locked up for 7 months, and when released he will go to church for Thanksgiving, and afterwards drop a huge donation as token of appreciation for the 'prayers' offered on his behalf. For instance, Atiku is a rapacious thief but he is being hailed as the Moses that will save us from PMB's Egypt. In saner climes he'd be rotting in gaol. We are our own worst enemies. Positive change can only occur when we, on the individual level are ready to change our ways because the average Nigerian is inherently corrupt and resistant to change. 40 Likes 9 Shares |

In Nigeria, the president would be called all sort of unprintable names because a corrupt official has been sentenced to death. Mere invitation of Fayose by EFCC to answer questions of alleged misappropriation of public funds has been used by the opposition to score cheap political points. Accusing the president of flouting the rule of law. I believe minority few are the problems in this country. They condone corruption in high and low places 3 Likes |
