China jails Ding Yuxin In Railway Graft Case For 20 Years
A Beijing court sentenced a well-known businesswoman, who had ties to a disgraced former railways minister, to 20 years in jail on Tuesday for corruption, saying she was guilty of bribery and illegally running a business.
Ding Yuxin, also known as Ding Shumiao, helped 23 businesses win railway construction contracts and funnelled 49 million yuan ($8 million) worth of kickbacks to former railways minister Liu Zhijun, state media has previously reported.
She also "offered sexual favours to Liu by arranging an unidentified number of women for him", the official China Daily reported last year.
In a brief statement carried on its microblog, the Beijing court said that the evidence in the case against her was clear, ordering she also pay a fine of 2.5 billion yuan and have assets worth 20 million yuan confiscated.
It gave no other details.
