A recent Chinese court verdict sentencing an internet censorship official to prison for corruption crimes has revealed a darker web of misdeeds by a billionaire entrepreneur who once bribed him.
In March, the Beijing Municipal Court sentenced Chen Hua, former deputy director at the Beijing office of the Cyberspace Administration, to nine years imprisonment and a 600,000 yuan (about $90,000) fine for graft. He was found guilty of embezzling more than 3.2 million yuan (about $475,000), and accepting bribes of more than 1.05 million yuan.
