1. Yu Airong, former deputy director of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Justice, was sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison
On August 22, the Intermediate People's Court of Xuzhou City publicly announced the verdict on the case of Yu Airong's bribery and parole for personal gain. The defendant Yu Airong was sentenced to 12 years in prison and fined RMB 2 million for the crime of bribery. He was also sentenced to 9 months in prison for the crime of personal gain and parole, and was sentenced to 12 years and 6 months in prison and fined RMB 2 million; The proceeds of Ai Rong's bribery crime shall be recovered and turned over to the national treasury.
After trial, it was found that from 1998 to 2018, the defendant Yu Airong took advantage of his position as Deputy Director, Party Secretary, Director of the Jiangsu Provincial Prison Management Bureau, Party Committee Member, Deputy Director of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Justice, and other positions, as well as the convenience conditions formed by his power or position, to seek benefits for relevant units and individuals in enterprise operation, penalty execution, cadre selection and appointment through the actions of other state officials, and illegally accepted property from others, totaling more than RMB 21.8 million. From 2008 to 2009, during his tenure as the Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Jiangsu Provincial Prison Management Bureau, Yu Airong engaged in favoritism and fraud. Despite knowing that the offender did not meet the conditions for parole, he arranged for someone else to grant him parole.
The Intermediate People's Court of Xuzhou City believes that the defendant Yu Airong's behavior has constituted the crime of bribery and the crime of favoritism, fraud, and parole, with a particularly large amount of bribery. Considering that Yu Airong was able to truthfully confess his crimes upon arrival, voluntarily disclose some of the bribery facts that the investigating authorities have not yet mastered, partially commit attempted bribery crimes, plead guilty and accept punishment, and refund all the stolen funds, a lighter punishment can be imposed in accordance with the law. The court thus made the above judgment.
