Former FAW chief jailed over graft

XU Jianyi, former chairman of one of China’s largest auto producers, FAW Group Corp, was yesterday sentenced to 11-and-a-half years’ jail for accepting bribes.

Beijing No.1 Intermediate People’s Court ordered that all of Xu’s personal property listed in its verdict statement should be confiscated, and his illicit gains should be surrendered.

The court found that from 2000 to 2013, Xu took advantage of his various posts to help others with business contracts, promotions, and directly or indirectly accepted assets worth 12.2 million yuan (US$1.8 million).

Xu had served as vice general manager, general manager and chairman of FAW; a member of the standing committee of Communist Party of China Jilin provincial committee; and Party chief of Jilin City from 2000 to 2013. The court showed leniency because he confessed and handed over his gains.
