MACAU'S former Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Ao Man Long, was sentenced to 28 years in jail yesterday after he was found guilty of 24 new charges of corruption-related crimes.

Ao, the most senior official convicted of crimes since the establishment of the special administrative region, was jailed in January last year for 27 years on 57 counts of corruption, money laundering, abuse of power and false declaration of assets.

Ao stood trial on new charges of corruption-related crimes on February 18 this year at the SAR's Court of Final Appeal involving 23 local public and private projects.
