Zhou Liangluo, former head of the Haidian District in Beijing, was sentenced to death suspended for two years, a court said on Friday.
Zhou, 50, was accused of taking bribes, including cash and a villa valued at 16 million yuan (2.3 million U.S. dollars) during his rise from a Standing Committee member of the Chaoyang district committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1998 to head of the Haidian district in 2006,according to a ruling from the Beijing No.2 Intermediate People's Court.
His wife, 46-year-old Lu Xiaodan, was sentenced to life for receiving more than 8 million yuan (1.14 million U.S. dollars) during the same period, the Beijing Evening News reported.
Beijing prosecutors have obtained convictions of 102 bureau head-level officials on corruption and bribery charges over the past five years, according to a report in January.
