When paramilitary police searched one of Gu Junshan’s homes following corruption investigations last year, they had to work for two nights to recover all the loot, which filled four trucks. Lt. Gen. Gu had a taste for expensive, shiny objects—a boat made of gold, a golden wash basin, and a pure gold statue of Chairman Mao were found among his possessions.
In a closed-door trial on Monday, Aug. 10, a Chinese court found Gu, the former deputy logistics chief of the People’s Liberation Army, guilty of bribery, misusing public funds, and abusing power at China’s Defense Ministry, and sentenced him to death with reprieve, China’s Defense Ministry announced in a statement on its website.
