PLA general sentenced to death after corruption conviction

A People's Liberation Army (PLA) court martial has sentenced a lieutenant general to death after finding him guilty of corruption, embezzlement, and bribery.
Gu Junshan, 58, was formerly the deputy head of the General Logistics Department, in charge of property and infrastructure. The sentence has been suspended for two years and is then likely to be commuted to life imprisonment.
Gu has been under investigation since 2011 and is reported to have amassed a fortune from corrupt deals, including private property development on land owned by the PLA. After his arrest, four lorry-loads of goods acquired through his activities, including a solid gold statue of Chairman Mao and dozens of cases of expensive spirits, were cleared from one of his properties.
