Nepal, Sept. 29 -- China's former agricultural minister was sentenced to death on Sunday on corruption charges, with a two-year reprieve, a court statement said.
Tang Renjian accepted cash and property bribes totalling more than 268 million yuan ($38 million) between 2007 and 2024, the People's Court of Changchun in northeast Jilin province said in a statement.
The court ruled that the bribes "caused particularly severe losses to the interests of the state and the people, and therefore warranted the death penalty", adding that Tang had confessed to his crimes and expressed remorse.
