ZHENGZHOU, May 27 (Xinhua) -- The Intermediate People's Court of Zhengzhou in central China's Henan Province announced Saturday that Wu Changshun, a former senior political advisor and deputy head of the public security bureau of the northern city of Tianjin, was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for graft.

Wu was also deprived of his political rights for life and all his personal assets were confiscated, according to a statement from the court.

The court found Wu guilty of taking advantage of his various positions in Tianjin to seek benefits for entities and individuals, while taking bribes of more than 84.4 million yuan (12.3 million U.S. dollars).

Wu was also found guilty of illegally possessing public assets worth 342 million yuan and causing a loss of 101 million yuan to public funds through his abuse of power, the statement said.

The court showed leniency in the ruling, taking into consideration his confession, remorse and the fact that he voluntarily reported information on the crimes of others.
