Li Shanyou, a high official, is
said to have accepted
extraordinarily large sums of
bribes (approx. US$
60,000). After his arrest, he
allegedly confessed all his
crimes and returned the
bribes. So "giving leniency to
those who confess", as
Xinhua stated, the Haikou
Court sentenced him to
death with a two year
reprieve.
