Lu, former director of the Guizhou Provincial Department of Transportation, was found to have accepted more than 25.6 million yuan in bribes from June 1998 to January 2002.
On Sunday, the Supreme People''s Court and the Supreme People''s Procuratorate issued a document targeting "new forms of corruption", including bribes disguised as stocks, houses and gambling wins, and bribes given after their tenures or through relatives or other third parties. In some circumstances, an official may not be the owner of the bribe, but he or she can still be convicted of bribery because the intention of the briber is clear, the document read.
