Chinese court has sentenced the mistress of a disgraced former railways official to five years in prison for aiding his bribe-taking as Beijing widens a campaign against corruption.
The official Beijing Legal Evening News says Luo Fei had pleaded guilty at her trial last year of helping her lover Zhang Shuguang hide almost 2 million yuan ($330,000) in bribes.
Zhang was formerly the deputy chief engineer for the now-defunct Railway Ministry. He was convicted in October of taking nearly $8 million in bribes and given a suspended death sentence.
That came more than a year after former railway minister Liu Zhijun was convicted of corruption and also received a suspended death sentence as part of a broader anti-graft campaign.
Calls to the Beijing court rang unanswered Wednesday. (***)
