China airport executive sentenced to death
Chinese court rules former airport holding company chief embezzled funds
By MarketWatch
Last update: 12:00 a.m. EST Feb. 11, 2009Comments: 50HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- A Chinese court has sentenced the former chairman of a state-owned holding company overseeing 30 airports, including Beijing International, to death for bribery and embezzlement amounting to more than 100 million yuan ($14.6 million), according to a report late Tuesday by the state-run Xinhua News Agency.
The Jinan Intermediate People's Court found Li Peiying, 59, former chairman and general manager of Capital Airports Holding Co., guilty of seeking or accepting bribes totaling 26.61 million yuan during an eight year period from 1995, the report said.
Li was also found guilty of misappropriating 82.5 million yuan in funds for personal use during a three-year period from 2000.
In handing down its sentence, the court said Li's actions had resulted in large economic losses for that nation and that the amounts involved were extraordinary.
Capital Airports was formed in 2002 and operates airports in nine Chinese provinces.
A subsidiary of the group, Beijing Capital International Airport Co. (HK:694: news , chart , profile ) , is listed in Hong Kong.

What if they did this in the US? Would it make the white collar crooks straighten out their act? Maybe one of the conditions of the bank bailout should be each executive must work one year in China instead of cutting pay to $500,000. I would think the fear of getting a head cut off might do the trick.:D
 
The problem in China is that is the ONLY way to get people's attention on breaking laws is to execute someone. It's far too easy to bribe the right official and get off scott free. Otherwise known as no one will notice if they get enough money. However, breaking laws is getting all too common, look at CCTV burning their own building down with an unsanctioned firework show (how dumb can you get???). And in the melanine in the milk scandal, the only ones to get sentenced, got sentenced to death, and the victims got some little bit of compensation that won't come even close to paying for the permanent damage their kids took (I'm not putting a price on life, I'm talking about the ones who survived and now have to keep getting dialysis).


In the U.S., we should have some hard time jail terms. Anyone want to be in a supermax? It takes too long to get a death sentence through the system, and there has to be something reserved for mass murderers.
