A Chinese court on Thursday sentenced the former justice minister to two years in prison and death. With this decision, China once again made it clear that it does not take any leniency in corruption. According to Chinese media, 67-year-old Fu Zhenghua had committed high-profile corruption during his tenure for personal gain. Fu has also served as Beijing Municipal Bureau Chief and Deputy Minister of Public Security in the Chinese government. Earlier, the former railway minister of China was also sentenced to death in 2013. He was also found guilty of corruption.
In July, China's former Justice Minister Fai Zhenghua was arrested on suspicion of taking bribes. During the court hearing, Fey admitted the allegations against him. According to Chinese media, Fe had "117 million yuan ($17.3 million) as a gift or money.
According to a report in China Daily, "Fu held a very high position in the Chinese government and held several positions in the government, including the Minister of Justice. He was accused of corruption by abusing his position. For personal gain. Fu scammed billions of rupees. During court hearings, prosecutors said that Fu took advantage of his position to launder money about business operations, official positions, and legal matters.
When the court case began in July, prosecutors said, "During his tenure at the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, Fu knowingly avoided criminal prosecution of his brother, who had serious criminal charges." In his final statement in court, Fu confesses his guilt and pleads guilty. Fu also expressed remorse for what he had done.
What is the provision of the death penalty for two years?
In fact, under Chinese law, a sentence of two years or more imprisonment with the death penalty has a special meaning. This means that the death sentence can be commuted to life imprisonment depending on the behavior of the convicted. Therefore, Fu is also sentenced to two years, if he proves within these two years that he has remorse, then his sentence can be commuted to life imprisonment.
